While technically all Bataleon boards have some camber, the Mellow Camber of the Magic Carpet means that it doesn’t have a very noticeable amount of camber. I was riding in some fresh snow, with nice deeper windblown sections of fairly light powder. I rode the Magic Carpet with a fairly narrow stance, with my front foot on the narrowest inserts, and my back foot on the recommended, with angles of +9 and -6 degrees. Three directions of fiberglass mean that the Magic Carpet has a bit more torsional (twisting) stiffness.Ī lighter core option, it has a 70/30 blend of paulownia and poplar wood.Īn extruded base material, so while it is softer than sintered, it is easier to repair. Two tubes of carbon, that take away a little of the weight from the core, and add some more pop. Overall there is a fairly small amount of camber on the board, that gives it a little bit more of a spring, but it never feels catchy with the Pow 3BT shaping. Looking straight down the board, you can see how much of a “boat” shape the nose and tail have.Īnother little exaggerated shape, which pushes the contact points a little higher on the uplifted sections of the board. The Pow version of the 3BT base shaping is the most extreme of the Bataleon designs, which means that it has a very narrow centrebase, and very exaggerated uplifted corners of the board. The Magic Carpet design gets around that by keeping the twin shape, but with a wide width for lots of surface area. The tradeoff of the classic design means that although it floats better when ridden regular, it is much harder to ride switch, and much harder to land switch in powder. Normally powder boards will have a longer and wider nose, with a shorter narrower tail that is designed to help the nose to float, and the tail to sink.
BATALEON MAGIC CARPET PLUS
Then, carbon stringers, Triax Plus fiberglass, and an Ultra Light Core create a highly responsive ride that's not too stiff for freestyle riding.Definitely not a common shape for a powder board. Symmetrical nose and tail shaping allows you to stomp switch landings with ease, no matter if you're sending cliff drops or park booters. This makes the board effortlessly float across powder, as the nose uplift re-directs snow, instead of the "plowing" common to traditional camber. Twin Pow 3BT features a more dramatic uplift than many of Bataleon's park offerings. The Twin Pow Triple Base Technology starts with camber running lengthwise for the snappy feel and responsive turns you've come to love from traditional camber, while the tip and tail are the starting point for the board to lift off the snow with a convex, spoon-like shape. It's much wider than a traditional twin-shaped board, creating a larger surface area for exceptional float in the deep stuff. This short, stubby twin blends the lines between dedicated powder board and freestyle specialist, seamlessly transitioning from fresh lines in the morning to park laps in the afternoon. It makes sense it was given its name, what, with the gravity-defying float over deep tree stashes and open powder bowls, the Bataleon Magic Carpet Snowboard takes a progressive approach to powder riding with Twin Pow Triple Base Technology (3BT).
