JONES FRONTIER 2023 SPLITBOARD

Directional Flex Pattern

Flex Rating – 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

Forever Flex – All Jones boards are broken in using specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use to help stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for it's lifetime.

Directional Rocker – A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker then tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.

Progressive Sidecut – At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.

Blunt Nose – "How a board glides in powder, crust, corn or any snow more than an inch deep is dictated by it's front contact point and just past it. Next time you are in soft snow watch how much snow comes over the corner of the nose near the contact point. The billowing snow coming out from behind the tip means you are plowing through it which is obviously slowing you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the float benefits of a much longer nose without the 'snow plow' rounded tip and it's extra swing weight." - Jeremy Jones

FSC™ Classic Core – Full wood premium poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.

V-Core – Boards with V-Cores are slightly softer in the very center of the board for improved manouverability and stiffer through the tip and tail for stability and pop.

Biax Fiberglass – A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.

Stainless Steel Reinforcement – Stainless steel plates are embedded into the nose and tail for improved board tip durability.

Recycled ABS – ABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Jones improves the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic.

Sintered 8000 Base – New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene and carbon.

Flip Flop Base – Flip-Flop bases improve board sustainability by reducing p-tex waste.

Inside and Outside Traction Tech 2.0 – Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.

Oversized Recycled Edges – All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.

Eco-Plastic Topsheet – Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet).

Karakoram Ultra Clips – Ultra clips are the strongest, lowest profile splitboard clips in the world. They deliver unmatched compression between board halves and they are adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.

Bio Resin – All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy. The raw materials used to make Super Sap Bio-Resin are co-products or waste products of other plant-based industrial processes. Producing Super Sap requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy.

Factory Tuned – All Jones snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain.

Wend Natural Wax – Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.

Quick Tension Tail – A built in climbing skin tension system with a pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.

Standard Splitboard Insert Pattern

Pow Camber – In this proprietary construction, the high point of the camber arc is set back from the center. Slight rocker in the contact point of the nose gives it a directional balance that provides unrivaled float and control in the deep.

Flexible Thin Tip – This weight-saving technology reduces material in the board’s tip and tail, resulting in lighter swing weight which makes it easier and faster to spin and rotate tricks.

Masters Light Core – This classic core is constructed of 100% Light Poplar wood, a legacy core construction that is proven to deliver in all conditions.

Liten – A simple and proven fiberglass matrix comprised of 0º Standard fiberglass overlaid with 90º Light glass; balancing flexibility and torsional rigidity for a springy and pressable, smooth-flexing ride.

Double I-Carbon Wide – Two tip-to-tail carbon stringers through the center of the core increase torsional rigidity for increased response and control.

Premium Racing – Utilizing industry-leading technology from ISOSPORT, this high-density, high-speed base material is chosen for its molecular weight, which delivers unrivaled speed, excellent wear resistance, and increased wax permeability.

Standard Split Pattern

System Camber – If you want a highly responsive ride, crisp on-edge performance, and more pop for carving and ollies - all with smoother camber performance - then System Camber shapes are for you. The camber progressively reduces toward the tip and tail, making the leading edge less aggressive for cleaner on-snow performance.

Flex Rating – 6 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)

1cm Taper

Highland Split Core – The highly versatile Highland Core, constructed with a 1:2 blend of poplar and paulownia, with additional insert and centerline components for a premium factory splitboard.

360° Fully Wrapped Sidewalls – Eliminates the need for tip fill, while effectively tying the whole snowboard together. A technology that delivers incredibly tight tolerances for improved board life and durability.

Sintered Base – A higher molecular weight, sintered base that provides added durability and speed.

Recycled Steel Edges – Highly durable, recycled steel edges embody Arbor's key values: quality and sustainability.

Factory Tuned – Arbor detunes the tip and tail contact points on all of their snowboards for a catch-free ride before they leave the factory.

Bio Resin – Bio-Resin is a replacement for traditional petroleum based resin that doesn't affect performance or usability. The ingredients that go into it are sourced as co-products or waste products of other industrial processes and are manufactured employing green chemistry techniques that reduce the carbon footprint of the material by up to 40% when compared to its petroleum based equivalent.

Karakoram UltraClip – Karakoram’s premium splitboard clip is powerful, easier to use, and lighter. Once joined, the UltraClip fully constrains the seam of your splitboard to eliminate seam rattling, seam shearing, and seam rolling. The lever locks in the touring position as well to eliminate unwanted movement on the ascent.

Wend Natural Wax – All Arbor snowboards hit the shop floor ready to ride with Wend Natural Wax.
