Bataleon Jam 162 vs Bataleon Omni 164 - Snowboarding Forum

Just interested to see what people think of these two boards when squared up to each other!

Especially if you have tried/own then

I'm thinking of buying either/or in a couple of days and would love peoples input!

Prefer being off piste or on then in the parks or jib, so essentially I'm just after which one has the better ride performance and feel etc

All opinions welcome

haven't ridden the jam, but I have been riding an Undisputed for 3 seasons (the Undisputed is basically a stiffer version of the Omni).

Based on the specs:
the Omni has significant insert setback as well as a directional (setback)/more intense, powder specific version of TBT. Despite how powder specialized the tech, it's actually a surprisingly good all mnt board (except park).

the jam has the exact same stiffness as the omni, but has no insert setback (twin-ish) and only a relatively mild directional setback on the TBT. It's basically an all mtn board that you can take in the park, but won't perform as well as the omni in pow.
