Jones Snowboards 2019 | Rider Reviews

For winter 2018/2019, you will find a variety of powder specific and all-mountain ready board and bindings from Jones Snowboards at Tactics. From the versatile Explorer to the powder specific Stormchaser, there is a board for every type of snow condition and rider type. The effortless float and outstanding edge hold of the Mind Expander made it stand out as one of our top picks for next season and it even comes in a splitboard option. 

New for 2019, Jones has released their own line of bindings featuring unmatched support and response for big terrain and maximum board control. Two models can be found at Tactics, the big mountain ready Apollo and the versatile all-mountain/freestyle oriented Mercury. Both models are intended for the intermediate-to-advanced rider and will compliment any board in the Jones line up.

The Flagship is a longtime staple in the Jones lineup best known for its stiffer flex rating, high level of response, and ability to conquer all types of terrain.

The tried and true Directional Rocker profile is perfect for ripping through powder thanks to the long rocker up front and huge Blunt Nose.

The V-Core Construction and Power V Basalt Stringers make for a smooth and dynamic ride, even on rough terrain, and the Progressive Sidecut and Traction Tech increase edge hold to keep you in complete control while carving.

Jones Apollo 2019 Snowboard Binding Rider Review

The Apollo is an expert level freeride binding featuring NOW's Skate Tech Baseplate and a super light and stiff Carbon Flax highback. This exclusive highback design blends the Eco-friendly performance of Flax with the lightweight, torsional stiffness of Carbon for ultimate response and acute precision. Jones gives you two different types of bushings to swap out, allowing you to switch between Surf Mode, for a softer, more playful ride, and Freeride Mode for maximum response. Asymmetrical Flip It Straps, 3D Toe Straps and a Flushcup Heelcup design keep your boots locked in tight for max control without sacrificing comfort, and the Skate Tech baseplate transfers energy straight to the edges of your board which helps reduce leg fatigue because less work goes a lot further. If you like technical freeriding and high speed carving and you want a binding that really makes a statement, you can't beat the Jones Apollo.
