PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (Touring, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Navigator Split — riders who already handle powder and trees and want a powder-first split for sidecountry laps and resort uphill routes where they are allowed, with skins and clips supplied.. 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 | Navigator Split | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 5🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 1 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 6 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 6 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 6🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 8🏆 | 2 |
Riders who already handle powder and trees and want a powder-first split for sidecountry laps and resort uphill routes where they are allowed, with skins and clips supplied. CAPiTA's weight table covers about 130 to 220+ lb across the 155 to 164.
Lift-only riders: the solid Navigator shares the waist, taper and sidecut radii without split hardware. Park, jib and switch riders, because the board is directional, set back and tapered. Riders who put uphill weight first, who should look at CAPiTA's lightweight-focused Mega Split. Riders under about 130 lb or needing a wide board; women's 147 and 151 cm sizes are the Navigator Split WMN. And anyone heading into avalanche terrain without avalanche training, rescue gear and partners.
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.
Navigator Split is best for riders who already handle powder and trees and want a powder-first split for sidecountry laps and resort uphill routes where they are allowed, with skins and clips supplied. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
CAPiTA Navigator Split 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.
CAPiTA Navigator Split leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 5/10.
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.
