Below, I have categorized Bataleon's 2022-23 lineup. This is according to the categories here at SnowboardingProfiles.com and not necessarily the same as how Bataleon might label them. 

Of course these are only broad categories as every board is different, but this is a rough guide. 

Bataleon don't have anything that strictly fits this category, IMO.

Changes to Existing Models

As well as some models exiting, with quite a few new models, a lot of the returning models have had some tweaks. 

• Party Wave, Camel Toe, Love Powder, Whatever, Feelbetter, Push Up, Fun Kink, Spirit, Chaser, Distortia, Disaster, Wallie & Blow: All get a base upgrade - from their "Super Slick X" (Extruded) to their "Hyper Glide S" (sintered base). This now means that all of Bataleon boards now have sintered bases. 
• Thunder Bolt: Waist width wider on the 156 and the 159W, stays the same on the 158.
• Thunder: Waist width on the 154 a little wider and a little narrower on the 161. The rest of the waist widths appear to be the same. plus an upgraded base from their "Hyper Glide S" to their "Ultra Glide S" base.
• Carver: Appears to have stiffened up from a 7/10 to an 8/10 and got "high uplift" for the nose of the board where it had medium. Uplift refers to how raised the edges are with Bataleon's 3BT tech
• Party Wave +: flex rating up to 6/10 from 5/10 on the '22 model.
• Party Wave: Waist width narrowed on the 145 size. Other sizes the same (in addition to the base upgrade). 
• Camel Toe: Gets Bataleon's "Super Tubes" tech (in addition to the base upgrade)
•  Whatever: Gets extra inserts on the back insert pack (in addition to the base upgrade). 
• Feelbetter: Gets Medium Camber in place of low camber from the '22 model (in addition to the base upgrade).
• Spirit: Gets Medium Camber in place of low camber from the '22 model (in addition to the base upgrade).
• Evil Twin: Upgrades core to the "super ultra light" core from the "Ultra Light Core". Now 80/20 Paulownia/Poplar vs 70/30 Paulownia/Poplar previously.
• Blow: Gets medium uplift in nose and tail in place of low uplift on '22 model (in addition to the base upgrade).
