Product Info
At the forefront of today's snowboarding progression, the Bataleon Whitegold Proto Snowboard is hard to classify because it's so new. A culmination of Bataleon's finest technology, it undoubtedly slays but it's up to you to determine how. The Proto's directional shape is meant to minimize drag through pow and increase overall agility. Weight is drastically reduced thanks to a new Honey(comb) Core, as well as additional Carbon and Cork laminates for pop and vibration dampening. Finished with a sintered base, the Bataleon Whitegold Proto Snowboard is one to handle it all.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Pow 3BT – These boards are tapered, have setback stances, and feature the narrowest centerbase section and the most uplift of all the Bataleon shapes, making them the most surfy of the bunch. The nose has more uplift angle and overall area for maximum float, and the tail has a mellower uplift angle and smaller area for better backseat riding.
Flex
Flex Rating: 4 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – This is a medium flex board hitting a balance between freestyle play and forgiveness with control, response and support for harder riding. Great for all-mountain riders who want to do it all!
Core
Honey Core – This new core has added honeycomb compartments that reduce weight in the tip and tail area reducing the boards swing weight.
Laminates
Tri-Ax Laminate – Bataleon's tri-axial or three-way fiberglass is a weave of fibers in three directions: 45, 0 and -45 degrees. It's like their bi-ax layup with with added fibers running tip to tail. This stiffens up the board and adds more snap, while also offering better edge control and grip. The added strands of glasses make boards more aggressive and more responsive overall.
Carbon Enhanced – Carbon adds explosive snap, precise control, smooth dampening and it's feather light. Bataleon uses it to enhance the ride of their high-end boards. By placing Carbon stringers in key areas of the board they are able to increase the connection between the rails of your board making it feel more responsive.
Cork Stringers – Cork is put into the board to get rid of unwanted vibrations and smooth out your riding experience. Bataleon uses stringers under the core in combination with carbon on most Whitegold boards.

Base
Sintered Base – Hard and fast. Sintered base material is tough stuff and its microscopic pores retain wax nuggets for a slick slide. To get the maximum benefits from a sintered base it needs to be waxed regularly. Bataleon finishes theirs with a proper hot wax before they leave the factory.
Die-Cut Base – Base color displayed may not be available. Base colors may vary.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain snowboards are designed for exploring the whole mountain. They are your go-to for a snowboard that will do anything. They feel at home on groomers, powder, park runs and almost anything in between. The vast majority of snowboarders choose all-mountain boards for their great versatility. If you’re just getting started or unsure of exactly what you need, an all-mountain snowboard is a great choice. Powder Powder snowboards love powder. Often associated with freeride snowboards, powder boards sometimes feature a wider nose and a tapered narrower tail. The binding inserts, which determine the rider's stance, are often set back on a powder snowboard to help the rider float the tip of the board through the deep stuff. Powder snowboards sometimes also feature rocker, a design element where the tip (and tail) rise starts farther back on the board, which also helps the rider maintain tip float through the pow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Camber

Rocker Type
Camber Camber is the traditional profile for snowboards, and still popular among high-level park and pipe riders because it offers maximum energy and pop. A cambered board has a smooth arch underfoot and touches near the tip and tail when unweighted; when the rider’s weight is added, it provides a long, evenly pressured running surface and edge.

Flex Rating:
Medium
More
Flex Rating
Medium The amount a snowboard flexes varies significantly between boards. Snowboard flex ratings are not necessarily standardized across manufacturers, so the flex may vary from brand to brand. Many manufacturers will give a number rating ranging from 1-10, 1 being softest and 10 being stiffest. Here at evo we have standardized the manufacturers' number ratings to a feel rating ranging from soft to very stiff. Generally you will find flex ratings of 1-2 as soft, 3-5 as medium, 6-8 as stiff, and 9-10 as very stiff. Flex ratings and feel may ultimately vary from snowboard to snowboard.
