Technische specificaties
Jones Snowboards stands out due to its constant pursuit of innovation and performance, incorporating technologies such as 3D Contour Base and Traction Tech to provide superior grip and maneuverability. Moreover, the brand is known for its strong commitment to sustainability, making it a leader in environmentally friendly production and awareness in the snowboard industry.
New super durable material made from polyethylene with ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW-PE) and carbon. The base is easy to repair, absorbs a lot of wax, and is incredibly fast.
High-quality poplar paulownia wood core with specially positioned embedded stringers made from recycled snowboards.
A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving, and snappy ride.
Flax fibers are used instead of a traditional topsheet and provide a comfortable ride that absorbs chattering at any speed. Flax uses less resin in the lay-up of the board, which saves more weight and synthetic materials.
A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern with more tip rocker than tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rocker tip drives the nose of the board and improves maneuverability, while the camber underfoot provides edge grip and responsiveness. A light rockered tail offers the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free when making turns and landing switch.
A directional shape provides improved performance and stability when riding in one direction, especially in freeriding and on powder snow.
