Arbor Relapse vs Bataleon Party Wave

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Arbor Relapse leans more freestyle, while the Bataleon Party Wave leans more powder. The Arbor Relapse uses a twin shape while the Bataleon Party Wave is directional. The Arbor Relapse has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Bataleon Party Wave uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
