The Bataleon Love Powder is the snowboard you want with you when you look out the window and are met with a wall of snow. Whether it’s bluebird freshies, tracked out chutes, floodlit tree runs or pristine pillow drops, the Bataleon Love Powder is your VIP ticket to the white room. Unreal float on deep days, rock solid carves on corduroy and more fun than a barrel of snow monkeys.
Everything about the Love Powder is geared towards riding fast and hard. A directional shape, tapered outline and 3D bevels in the nose and tail are the magic ingredients to keeping you floating no matter how deep or choppy the snow. The uplifted nose funnells snow out to the sides while the cut out tail reduces surface area behind the back foot, sinking it down and forcing the nose to stay above the snowline with little to no effort.
“A directional shape, tapered outline and 3D bevels in the nose and tail are the magic ingredients to keeping you floating no matter how deep or choppy the snow”
Having an entire quiver of snowboards at your disposal is the dream of many riders, but in most scenarios it’s just not a practical or feasible option. Where the Bataleon Love Powder stands apart from the pack of powder specific models is its ability to absolutely tear things up on the piste too.
The pre-angling of the side base by the contact points means when you get this lil puppy up on its edges, it’s digging smooth trenches throughout the whole arc of the turn. You’re not skidding in and out of turns, you’re cranking down and dialling into them with precision and max control.
“The Love Powder is an absolute cannon, preloaded for fun, face shots and those sweet, sweet first tracks”
Under the hood Bataleon have kitted out the Love Powder with their Light Woodcore, blending Swiss Paulownia for weight reduction, and Poplar for durability and a dynamic, powerful feel. To this, they’ve added their Dual Super Tubes to really turn up the heat. These hollow carbon tubes are milled into the core and give the Love Powder a double dose of long lasting pop and life.
The Love Powder is an absolute cannon, preloaded for fun, face shots and those sweet, sweet first tracks. Loose and surfy in the powder, rock solid on piste and slicker than a snake in a barrel of butter. This is your drug, dealer, and addiction all wrapped up in one pretty package.
