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.
Stereo Team — the advanced park and all-mountain-freestyle rider who rides switch and wants a true centered twin with more pop and speed than the standard stereo.. 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 | Stereo Team | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 6🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 8 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 7🏆 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 6 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 6🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 2🏆 | 2🏆 |
The advanced park and all-mountain-freestyle rider who rides switch and wants a true centered twin with more pop and speed than the standard Stereo. 3BT keeps it catch-free on landings and transitions, and the 6/10 flex plus sintered base give it the drive a progressing freestyle rider grows into.
First-time riders - the 6/10 flex and pro-level build are more than a first board needs, and the softer Men's Stereo is the easier learn. Powder and freeride riders after deep-snow float - this is a centered true twin that Bataleon rates low for powder, and the directional Party Wave is the board for that. Riders who want the softest jib board - the Stereo Team is stiffer than the standard Stereo by design. Directional carvers who never ride switch or park - a directional all-mountain deck fits their day better than a centered twin.
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.
Stereo Team is best for the advanced park and all-mountain-freestyle rider who rides switch and wants a true centered twin with more pop and speed than the standard stereo. 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 Stereo Team 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 Stereo Team 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.
