1 / 2Bataleon Evil Twin Men's Snowboard 2026/2027
In Stock — Ready to Ship
PTO Verdict
“Built to forgive a late edge in the park; tested earlier versions chattered when opened up.”
Best for: Riders from low-intermediate up who spend most days in the park and on side hits, ride switch often, and want slides, presses and spin landings to forgive a late or sloppy edge.
Not for: Riders who carve hard at speed - in two independent tests, earlier versions chattered when pushed fast, and neither found a satisfying hard carve. Deep-powder riders, who get a directional shape and High nose uplift in Bataleon's Party Wave. Riders after a softer jib board, such as the 2/10 Men's Disaster. Anyone who wants the edge to bite the instant they tip it. And first-day beginners who want maximum stability: one independent test calls it workable for them but not fully beginner-friendly.

Description
The Bataleon Evil Twin is a true-twin freestyle snowboard built for park laps, side hits and riding switch, with a base shape that makes its edges slow to catch. It pairs positive camber of medium height with Bataleon's 3BT base and a 5/10 flex, in 151, 154 and 157 cm plus a 156W wide with a 262 mm waist.
The outline is symmetrical and the inserts are centered, so the board is set up the same in either direction. 3BT, short for Triple Base Technology, keeps the base flat between your feet and raises its side sections toward the nose and tail. SideKick adds a little more lift right at the tips. The trade is that you lean further and press between your feet before the edge bites, and one tester of an earlier version needed several days to adapt. Under the topsheet are an Ultra Light Core, Tri-Ax glass, carbon stringers, Bataleon's C.S.T. Super Tubes and Flex Walls sidewalls; the base is Hyper Glide S, which is sintered. Sidecut radius is 7.9 m on the 151 and 154 and 8.0 m on the 157 and 156W.
It is made for park-focused riders, low-intermediate and better, who ride switch and want boardslides and presses to forgive a late edge. Skip it if you mainly carve fast or hit big kickers: in independent testing, earlier versions chattered at high speed, one test found them washy in hard carves, and both found their limits on big kickers. For deep powder, Bataleon's directional Party Wave fits better, and for soft jibbing the Men's Disaster, a 2/10, is the softer choice.
Bataleon rates the 151 for 56-76 kg riders and the 156W for 72-92 kg, and the wide is the pick for big boots. Bring your boots: we size the board with you, mount the bindings and set your stance.

The take
“Built to forgive a late edge in the park; tested earlier versions chattered when opened up.”
The Bataleon Evil Twin is easiest to judge by asking where you want your mistakes to be cheap. On this board, a late or sloppy edge on a rail, a press or a spin landing is the cheap one: an independent test of the 2024 Evil Twin called it very hard to catch, and the 2020 tester at first found it edgeless. So the buying question is how much of your day goes to features, side hits and switch riding. If that is most of it, this is an easy board to recommend.
Give it a few sessions before you judge it. That 2020 tester needed several days before the board tracked cleanly through a turn. Firm snow is where reports split: the same tester would not pick it for very hard snow, while an owner of that board reported more hold than expected.
Its ceiling shows as riders go bigger. The 2024 test found easy pop for small and medium jumps but said big kickers expose its stability limits, and the 2020 test called it not ideal for big kickers. Riders who want a firmer twin can look at Bataleon's Stereo Team at 6/10, with Low SideKick 2.0 uplift and an Ultra Glide S base, or the Evil Twin+, which retailer listings put at 6/10 with a Super Ultra Light Core and a Nano Speed S base.
Ridden where it belongs, the Evil Twin asks little: the 2024 test found spins, switch landings and butters easy, and quick edge to edge at slow speed, which suits side hits and, in softer snow, trees. Powder is a shallow-day job: the same test found it OK in shallow powder and expected it to struggle deeper.
Inside Bataleon's 26/27 line, the Men's Disaster is the softer jib board, sharing the 3D Twin outline and medium camber but rated 2/10, with Bi-Ax glass and no carbon listed. For deep snow the Party Wave is the better tool, a directional board with High nose uplift and a Pow bar near full, though its Park bar sits under half.
Sizing starts with Bataleon's rider weights: 56-76 kg on the 151, 61-81 kg on the 154, 67-87 kg on the 157 and 72-92 kg on the 156W. The 156W is its own geometry, a 262 mm waist against 253 mm on the 157, built for bigger boots. We mount your bindings, set a centered stance and help you choose length and width from your weight and boot size.
Bindings we'd pair with it
Mount point: Centered inserts for a true-twin stance. Our pick: No official binding pairing is recorded for the Evil Twin.
Bataleon's 26/27 spec card names no binding pairing and does not name the insert pattern, so our technician confirms binding fit when mounting and sets a centered stance with you.
Common Questions
- Bataleon Evil Twin vs Disaster: what is the difference?
- The Bataleon Evil Twin and the Men's Disaster share a 3D Twin outline, medium camber and 3BT, but the Disaster is rated 2/10 against the Evil Twin's 5/10. The Disaster uses Bi-Ax glass with no carbon listed; the Evil Twin uses Tri-Ax glass and adds carbon stringers. Pick the Disaster for softer jibbing and the Evil Twin for small-to-medium jumps and mixed park laps.
- Bataleon Evil Twin vs Evil Twin+: which should I get?
- The Bataleon Evil Twin is the 5/10 version with an Ultra Light Core and a sintered Hyper Glide S base. Retailers list the Evil Twin+ at 6/10 flex, built around a Super Ultra Light Core with a Nano Speed S base and AirRide. Choose the standard board for its 5/10 flex, or the Plus if you want the firmer 6/10 listed by retailers.
- What size Bataleon Evil Twin should I get?
- The Bataleon Evil Twin is sized by rider weight: 56-76 kg for the 151, 61-81 kg for the 154, 67-87 kg for the 157 and 72-92 kg for the 156W. The 156W has a 262 mm waist for bigger boots. Bring your boots and we will check length and width with you.
- Is the Bataleon Evil Twin good for beginners?
- The Bataleon Evil Twin is workable for beginners but suits low-intermediate riders and up better. An independent test of the 2024 version found it easy to turn and very hard to catch, and called it doable for beginners but not fully beginner-friendly. Expect to lean further than usual to set the edge.
- Which bindings fit the Bataleon Evil Twin?
- Bataleon's 26/27 card for the Evil Twin lists no recommended binding and leaves the insert pattern unnamed. We pair it with a binding sized to your boots, and our technician confirms the fit when mounting.
