The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Bataleon Whatever is positioned as a true do-it-all board with a distinctive 3BT (Triple Base Technology) shape that reduces catchiness without giving up camber's pop. snowboardingprofiles.com calls it a great pick for someone wanting an all-camber feel with a softer, more playful character, while whitelines.com describes it as 'playful and responsive' with strong edge hold and good performance on jumps and boxes. shayboarder.com frames it as Bataleon's anything-goes board.
What reviewers liked
- Specialist reviewers praise the 3BT shape for catch-free feel without losing camber pop
- r/snowboarding posters describe it as nimble and versatile across terrain
- Multiple sources note solid edge hold and playful jump/jib performance
- Handles powder reasonably well for a non-specialist board
Where it falls short
- r/snowboarding commenters say it gets sketchy at very high speeds and on hard carves
- One community thread questions whether advanced riders gravitate to 3BT shapes
- Amazon review sample is essentially nonexistent (n=1)
- Premium price point relative to other all-mountain options in this pool

r/snowboarding posters generally back this up — one calls it a 'true all-mountain' board that's surprisingly nimble when sized down — and a separate Bataleon thread says it handles powder decently and rips groomers, but can get sketchy at high speeds and on hard carves. A skeptical r/snowboarding comment also notes you don't often see advanced riders on 3BT boards, raising a fair question about its ceiling for aggressive carvers. For intermediate riders who want one board for everything, though, the synthesis is favorable.
- 3BT- Lifted points at the widest part of the board provide a smoother, more forgiving ride.- Lifted points at the widest part of the board provide a smoother, more forgiving ride.
- Sidekick builds on the concept of Triple Base by increasing the sidebase uplift just outside the widest points of the nose and tail. The tips become more like a hull, boosting float in deep snow and slicing through crud. It also helps the board to roll quickly and evenly from edge to edge.
- Supertube are hollow carbon cylinders that are inserted directly into the core. They reinforce the camber, reduce weight and greatly increase pop. By varying their location we can fine-tune the board’s performance further.
- Tri-Ax Lamination
- Our three-way fiberglass weave is light, strong and crazy responsive. We use this to beef up the flex pattern on our more aggressive boards.
- Ultra light core a 70/30 Paulownia and poplar blend that offers awesome strength to weight.
I have a Whatever as my primary all-mountain freestyle board and it's a very solid board for doing anything decently well (but nothing perfect).
True all mountain. I use it everywhere. Incredibly nimble when you size down properly, but I also am shorter dude who rides the shortest 145 ...
