Arbor Westmark vs Bataleon Blow

How they compare

Both target freestyle terrain, while the Arbor Westmark leans more all mountain. They share a twin shape — same shape at nose and tail; rides switch naturally. Common for park and freestyle. The Arbor Westmark has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Bataleon Blow uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Arbor Westmark is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Arbor Westmark targets advanced riders while the Bataleon Blow is aimed at intermediate riders.
