Bataleon Evil Twin 20Y snowboard 2026

The Evil Twin 20Y is a 20th-anniversary edition of Bataleon's flagship park twin, and the technology underneath the neon yellow throwback graphic is what the board has always been about. Bataleon's Twin 3BT base shape runs positive camber tip to tail — so you get real edge hold, genuine pop off lips, and a platform that locks into carves — but the base itself is 3D-shaped, lifting the contact points at the widest sections of the nose and tail off the snow. The SideKick tips take that further, curving outward like a hull beyond the widest point. What that means in practice: edge catches on rails are dramatically reduced, landings are more forgiving when you come in slightly off-angle, and edge-to-edge transitions feel smooth without any of the twitchiness you'd get from a traditional flat-base cambered twin. The Carbon Super Tube — a hollow carbon cylinder running down the spine — adds snap and ollie energy without stiffening the torsional flex. At a medium 5/10 flex, this board presses and butters willingly, holds a true carve when you push it, and doesn't punish mistakes the way a stiffer park board will.

This is built for the intermediate-to-advanced rider who splits time between park laps and resort runs — someone comfortable in the pipe, hitting kickers, grinding rails, and lapping side hits — and who wants one board that handles all of it without compromise. The true twin shape and centered stance mean switch riding is as natural as riding forward, which matters the moment you start caring about how your tricks look in both directions. Who should not buy it: if you are a dedicated jib specialist who wants the softest, most surfy press machine possible, the Bataleon Disaster is built for exactly that with its Jib 3BT shape and softer flex. And if you already ride confidently at speed and want more snap, carbon response, and a faster base than this board provides, step up to the Evil Twin Plus — it is everything the Evil Twin is, with meaningfully more pop and a higher ceiling for advanced park riding.
