Bataleon Snowboards - Triple Base Technology: Home
Description
TRIPLE BASE TECHNOLOGY - The greatest technological breakthrough in snowboarding for decades.
In the late nineties Jorgen Karlsen studied the riding properties of the snowboard. He observed that a conventional flat board would change its shape when going through a curve. The torsion forces would twist the board in a 3D shape, leaving it with a smaller angle to the ground at the tip and tail, and the maximum angle in the middle. It was evident that this shape was beneficial for the riding properties of the board, but the question was how to take advantage of this knowledge. The solution was to split the base in 3 parts, giving the board a 3D shape where the left base is shaped for turning left, the middle part of the base is shaped for going straight, and the right base is shaped for turning right. The result was a board with a triple base, where each part of the base was shaped like the natural shape of a board in motion. The Triple Base Technology was patented in 1998, receiving patent grants in 2003. Together with a group of the best snowboarders in Norway the concept was tested and the shape adapted for optimal performance. This group of individuals has spent several years developing boards fitted with the Triple Base Technology in order to satisfy the most demanding snowboarder. Triple Base proved to give great advantages going straight, in carves and edge-to-edge transitions. Reduced tendency of edge-catch and basically a way smoother - and faster - riding experience! But hey! Don?t take our word for it, give it a go this winter!
