PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (Park, All-Mountain Freestyle). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Evil Twin — park-first riders who want one board for jumps, jibs, switch and groomer laps, and who value a catch-free, forgiving ride over maximum stiffness or float.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Disaster | Evil Twin |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 3 | 6🏆 |
| Park | 10🏆 | 8 |
| Playfulness | 7 | 8🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 8🏆 | 7 |
| Stability | 3 | 6🏆 |
| Powder | 2 | 4🏆 |
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Park-first riders who want one board for jumps, jibs, switch and groomer laps, and who value a catch-free, forgiving ride over maximum stiffness or float. Improving riders can grow on it while advanced riders can still push it.
Dedicated powder riders should look elsewhere — this is a medium-flex true twin, and powder ranks lowest on Bataleon's terrain scale; a directional or tapered shape floats deep days far better. Hard chargers who want a stiff deck for the biggest jumps and top-end speed want the Evil Twin+, not this one. Riders chasing the most locked-in edge on boilerplate ice may be happier on a traditional full-camber twin, because 3BT lifts the contact points off the snow by design. And pure rail jibbers after the softest possible noodle should pass — at a medium flex with camber underfoot, this is a freestyle all-mountain twin, not a butter-soft jib stick.
Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Evil Twin is best for park-first riders who want one board for jumps, jibs, switch and groomer laps, and who value a catch-free, forgiving ride over maximum stiffness or float. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Bataleon Evil Twin has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 6/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Bataleon Evil Twin leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 6/10.
Bataleon Disaster has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
