As a new-in for the directional line, the Cruise is a super fun snowboard for ripping apart your resort. Along with its long nose compared to the effective edge, the Cruise can be ridden in standard lengths or slightly longer. The Cruise is an all-mountain board for maximum fun and performance, it allows you to draw the smoothest lines on the hill while being super stable at high speeds yet forgiving enough to be fun.
The Cruise has 3BT, which incorporates a narrower flat section at the nose with larger side base angles which improve the board's powder float. This board also rips groomers and hard packs with its grippy camber profile & manoeuvrable tapered shape. All of these essential shape & profile attributes combined with its medium flex make it even more manoeuvrable on the steeps & in the pow.
The board uses Light Core construction that consists of 50/50 Swiss Paulownia and poplar creating a balanced core that’s lively yet strong, perfect for progressing riders. The combination of Hyper Glide S is Bataleon's standard sintered base that’s durable and fast when you keep it waxed. The Bi-axial laminate fibre glass layers add more responsive edge-to-edge power transfer allowing quick response and ripping turns through the trees & charging through the powder whilst providing smooth & consistent flex patterns that make the Cruise a favourite amongst the freeride community.
With Side Kick Tips, this new tech from Bataleon will enhance the performance of the 3BT base increasing side base uplift on the most comprehensive parts of the nose and tail. This creates incredibly smooth turn initiations and enhances overall board stability in rough terrain and in powder.
The Cruise from Bataleon is ideal for riders looking for a powder board that can rip up groomers and hold its own in the fresh pow, so let's get this party started and ride all day long!
