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.
Men's Aviator 2.0 — advanced-to-expert riders who want one board to carve hard snow, stomp airs, and ride switch across the whole mountain.. 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 | Men's Aviator 2.0 | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 9🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 7 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 6 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 4 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 9🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 6🏆 | 2 |
Advanced-to-expert riders who want one board to carve hard snow, stomp airs, and ride switch across the whole mountain. Riders who value full-camber edge power and pop over surfy powder float.
Beginners who want a soft, forgiving learner deck — full camber is catchy and the mid-stiff 4/5 flex wants driving. Deep-powder specialists — no rocker or taper to float (that is the Flagship's job). Riders who want a soft, slow-speed butter and jib board — this is stiff and poppy. Riders chasing maximum powder float and surfy directional freeride, who should look at the Flagship.
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.
Men's Aviator 2.0 is best for advanced-to-expert riders who want one board to carve hard snow, stomp airs, and ride switch across the whole mountain. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Jones Men's Aviator 2.0 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.
Jones Men's Aviator 2.0 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.
