PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (All-Mountain, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Custom X — expert riders who have put in years, ride with intention, and want a board that responds to every input without filtering.. 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 | Custom X | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 9🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 3 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 5 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 3 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 9🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 5🏆 | 2 |
Expert riders who have put in years, ride with intention, and want a board that responds to every input without filtering. The charger who values maximum edge hold, explosive pop, and high-speed stability.
Intermediates — the stiffness is unforgiving. Lightweight riders who can't load the flex. Park-focused riders — too stiff for jibbing. Anyone who values a relaxed, forgiving ride.
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.
Custom X is best for expert riders who have put in years, ride with intention, and want a board that responds to every input without filtering. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Burton Custom X has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 9/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Burton Custom X leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 9/10.
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.
