Hi, let me share of my experience. My first own board was Goliath 18/19. I was in the process of learning. My snowboarding skills improved as I progressed and I wasn't recognizing the real benefits of 3BT and Side Kick technologies. It works and it works. After using 2 seasons, I had to sell my board and I had 4 years break. This year I decided to continue snowboarding and went to a small resort with a rented classic board. I looked like a beginner. It was a terrible experience. My next decision was to buy my own board. Of course I chose Goliath + 24/25. I tested it’s on the same resort. It was an amazing feeling to ride like an advanced rider. No falls, no clinging to edges. Great. These technologies really work. It's worth it. I would recommend everyone to try the Batalen board.

This thing is sick. Took me a day to get used to the 3bt and adapt to the feeling but now that I've figured it out its great. I was intending to just use this board for all mountain, steeps, and bumps and not take it in the park. After taking a lap in the park that went out the window. Great board all around!

If any of your big boy rippers out there, want a great board by this in 164 wide! This board absolutely puts Jones line, Burtons line and any other line to shame. I’m 6 foot and about 240lbs & this thing wraps up the hill , park..etc! Sean White called the other day, he wants to board like me now!!

I previously had the Goliath Plus 2022.

Pros
- It holds an edge better then the 2022 version
- A tad lighter
- lots of pop and good on big jumps

Cons
- The tip and tail are not as 3bt as what the 2022 version was which makes it not that great for powder. I feel like my board always catches now at the tip on little things.
- The stance set up has a gap on the front foot and ether makes you have an extra long stance or an extra short stance. Its very unfortunate cause if they didnt have the gap in the screws, it would be perfect.
- Shipping took FOREVER. I missed my whole winter break in December snowboarding with my friends cause they took so long to ship it out.

I really liked the 2022 version and the 2025 kind of feels like a downgrade. Personal preference though.

Excellent. Delivery took 6 days without any damage.
