Flex
Soft-medium and playful — the softest, most forgiving flex in Bataleon's FASE range
Flex ratings are the brand’s own and do not compare across brands.
The Bataleon Ghost FASE is the debut binding on Bataleon's all-new MonoFrame chassis, and the first thing to be clear about is what it is not. It is not the Blaster: the Ghost rides a one-piece composite MonoFrame, unlike the aluminum AsymWrap frame the Blaster line uses. And it is not the Women's Ghost FASE, which is a separate model on the same platform. This is the men's/unisex Ghost. FASE is Bataleon's fast-entry system: step in and the Ghost Highback auto-closes behind your heel, the pre-set toe strap holds, and the long FastStrap ankle ladder — still connected — lets you re-tension with a pull or two, standing at the top of the run instead of sitting in the snow.
Underfoot, the Ghost's MonoFrame is a single composite piece with fiberglass added for response, and Bataleon rates it a flex 5 — the softest, most forgiving binding in its FASE range. That is the whole character: it flexes with the board for a playful, surfy ride rather than a stiff, locked-in one. Bataleon's own terrain read puts it high for park and resort riding and lower for powder, which matches the soft flex — a relaxed all-mountain and freestyle binding, not a charging tool. The Ghost Highback is tuned for added tweakability, and the AuxTech ankle and toe straps use auxetic patterns that expand around the boot without hard pressure points.
Two siblings pull riders off the Ghost, and both are stiffer. If you ride fast and hard and want more drive, the Blaster AW FASE steps up to a flex 6 on Bataleon's firmer aluminum AsymWrap chassis; the Blaster PRO goes further to a 7, with a carbon-injected baseplate and a canted footbed. The Ghost gives up that response on purpose, in exchange for a softer, more playful feel. If a canted footbed matters to you, note the Ghost runs a flat EVA Sub-Base Pad — the canting is the Blaster PRO's, not this binding's.
Two honest gaps before you buy the Ghost. Bataleon does not publish its mounting pattern and ships a FASE-only disc, so check that disc against your board's inserts before you commit — especially on a Burton Channel board, where you should not assume it fits. Bataleon publishes no weight and no clean boot-size chart for the Ghost's shell sizes, so fit the actual boot rather than a number. At PTO the Ghost comes in Bone White and Black Camo, in M and L. We have not ridden it: this is read from Bataleon's catalog and the FASE system page, not from laps on snow.
Will it fit your board?

Technology
MonoFrame Chassis
Bataleon's all-new one-piece composite platform, with fiberglass added for response. Bataleon frames it as a single-piece chassis that gives a consistent flex and lets the board flex naturally underfoot — an easy, low-fuss feel rather than a stiff, locked-in one. It is the Ghost's own platform, not the aluminum three-point AsymWrap frame the Blaster line uses.
FASE Fast Entry System
Bataleon's fast-entry mechanism, and still a two-strap binding — nothing clicks onto the boot sole and there is no plate to step onto. You load the boot hands-free, the highback closes behind your heel, and the pre-set toe strap plus the long, still-connected ankle ladder let you re-tension standing up. It keeps working with any standard snowboard boot.
AutoBack / Ghost Highback
The auto-closing highback at the heart of the fast-entry claim: it closes automatically as the boot enters, opens when it is time to unstrap, and folds flat for skating, chairlifts and storage. The Ghost's version is tuned for added tweakability, in step with the soft, playful flex.
AuxTech straps (3D AuxTech Cradle FastStrap + AuxTech ToeStrap)
Bataleon describes AuxTech as auxetic hinged patterns that expand around the boot without stretching or distorting, so the straps wrap the foot without hard pressure points. The FastStrap ankle ladder is the long, always-connected strap that makes the one-handed re-tension work.

Best For
Riders who want hands-free FASE entry on a soft, playful platform — beginner to intermediate, and anyone with a relaxed park-and-piste style who values a forgiving, surfy feel over maximum stiffness.
Limitations
- −Soft flex 5 is the least responsive binding in Bataleon's FASE range.
- −Not for aggressive charging — the Blaster's stiffer AsymWrap chassis drives harder.
- −Flat EVA Sub-Base Pad; no canted footbed like the Blaster PRO.
- −Bataleon publishes no weight and no clean Ghost boot-size chart.
- −Mounting pattern unpublished; ships a FASE-only disc you must verify.
- −Not ridden by us — a spec-and-catalog read, not a ride report.
Not For
Aggressive, hard-charging riders who want a stiff, locked-in binding — the flex-5 MonoFrame Ghost is the soft end of FASE; step up to the stiffer aluminum Blaster AW FASE or Blaster PRO. Riders who specifically need a canted footbed, since the Ghost runs a flat EVA Sub-Base Pad. Anyone who needs verified Burton Channel or EST fit but will not check the disc in the box, because Bataleon does not publish the Ghost's mounting pattern. And women wanting the women's-specific model — that is the separate Women's Ghost FASE, not this men's/unisex binding.

Common Questions
- Is the Bataleon Ghost FASE a step-in binding?
- No. It is a two-strap binding whose Ghost Highback auto-closes as the boot enters and whose FastStrap ankle ladder stays on the buckle. You strap in standing up and still fine-tune the ankle with a ratchet — nothing clicks onto the boot sole and there is no plate to step onto. It works with any standard snowboard boot.
- How is the Ghost different from the Bataleon Blaster?
- They are different platforms, not two versions of one. The Ghost rides Bataleon's all-new one-piece composite MonoFrame chassis at a soft flex 5. The Blaster AW FASE uses the stiffer aluminum AsymWrap chassis at flex 6, and the Blaster PRO goes to flex 7 with a carbon-injected baseplate and a canted footbed. Both Blasters are firmer and more responsive; the Ghost is the softer, more playful one.
- Will the Bataleon Ghost FASE fit my board?
- Bataleon does not publish which insert pattern the Ghost's mounting disc fits — it ships a FASE-only disc. Compare that disc to your board's insert pattern before you buy, especially on a Burton Channel or EST board, or bring the board to us and we will confirm the fit at the bench. We do not assert a fit Bataleon never stated.
- What size Bataleon Ghost FASE should I buy?
- By your boot, never your weight or height. We stock the Ghost in M and L, in Bone White and Black Camo. Bataleon does not publish a clean boot-size chart for the Ghost's shell sizes, so bring the boots you ride and we will match you to the right shell at the bench; if your boot sits at a size boundary, we size up.
- Is this the men's or women's Ghost?
- This is the men's/unisex Ghost FASE. The Women's Ghost FASE is a separate product on the same MonoFrame chassis, with its own colorways and size run. If you want the women's-specific model, that is the one to look for, not this listing.
