PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (All-Mountain Freestyle, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Evil Twin — riders from low-intermediate up who spend most days in the park and on side hits, ride switch often, and want slides, presses and spin landings to forgive a late or sloppy edge.. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Evil Twin | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 4🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 8 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 8🏆 | 7 |
| Forgiveness | 8🏆 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 3🏆 | 3🏆 |
| Powder | 4🏆 | 2 |
Riders from low-intermediate up who spend most days in the park and on side hits, ride switch often, and want slides, presses and spin landings to forgive a late or sloppy edge.
Riders who carve hard at speed - in two independent tests, earlier versions chattered when pushed fast, and neither found a satisfying hard carve. Deep-powder riders, who get a directional shape and High nose uplift in Bataleon's Party Wave. Riders after a softer jib board, such as the 2/10 Men's Disaster. Anyone who wants the edge to bite the instant they tip it. And first-day beginners who want maximum stability: one independent test calls it workable for them but not fully beginner-friendly.
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.
Evil Twin is best for riders from low-intermediate up who spend most days in the park and on side hits, ride switch often, and want slides, presses and spin landings to forgive a late or sloppy edge. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Bataleon Evil Twin has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 3/10. 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 4/10.
Bataleon Evil Twin has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
