Riding Style
Explore the backcountry wilderness with the Solution. This splitboard is made for all kinds of backcountry adventures.

Shape
The Tapered Directional Shape increases float and stability at speed. Directional is the classic snowboard shape, designed to be ridden with a slightly longer nose than tail to concentrate pop in the tail while still giving you plenty of float, flow, and control to rip any terrain and condition. A tapered shape means the nose is wider than the tail, this enhances deep snow flotation. In deep snow, the Blunt Nose makes sure that less snow comes over the sides of your nose, as that would obviously slow you down. This also means you get the benefits of a longer traditional nose, without the extra weight. Edges like a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech 2.0 improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.

Profile
The Directional Rocker profile has an under-foot camber with a larger rocker area in the nose than in the tail. The float of the rockered nose improves manoeuvrability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. The slightly rockered tail maintains power and stability but helps to keep the tail catch-free when initiating turns and landing switch.
The 3D Base Contour 3.0, a freeride focused 3D-base contour featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail, floatation is guaranteed.

Flex
A stiff flex (8/10) will ensure very precise response and control.

Construction

The new FSC™ Ultra Core is Jones’ lightest wood core yet. The core is made from mostly paulownia with specially positioned poplar stringers for better durability and turn power multi-axis stitched triax fibreglass laminate offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions. Jones exclusive Flax/Basalt Power Stringers are made with 100% natural fibres. Composite Flax and Basalt stringer helps transfer power to the edges, improves torsional response and absorbs board chatter. All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability. Advancements in ski edge durability allow Jones to use thinner edges on splitboard inside edges to save weight. New rounded, recycled sidewall finish that improves board durability by protecting topsheet from chipping. The bio-plastic topsheet is made from Castor beans featuring a subtle texture for added durability. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet). The sintered 9900 base, made of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene and carbon is easy to repair thanks to the UHMW-PE.
Quick Tension Tail features a built-in climbing skin tension system using pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.

Karakoram Clips
