The standard Evil Twin is the board that put Bataleon on the map. Construction is straightforward and effective: Ultra Light Core, Tri-Ax fiberglass, Central Super Tube for pop without added torsional stiffness, urethane poured sidewalls for shock absorption, and a Hyper Glide S sintered base. Flex is a dead-center 5/10 medium. True twin shape, medium camber with 3BT and SideKick.

The Evil Twin doesn't try to be everything — it's a park-first board that happens to ride the whole mountain well. The 3BT base shape means drastically fewer edge catches, smoother edge-to-edge transitions, and better float in soft snow. Switch riding is completely seamless with the true twin shape. On park features it's poppy enough for medium to large kickers and stable enough for clean spins. On groomers it's fun for slashing turns and quick transitions, though it's not built for sustained high-speed bombing.

Compared to the Evil Twin+, you give up the Aramid X-Ply reinforcement, AirRide dampening, the faster base, and some weight savings. For most intermediate freestyle riders, you won't miss what you don't know. The 156W is a smart option for boot size 10.5+ riders who've been getting toe/heel drag on standard-width boards.
