Product Info

When you're touring, the snow conditions can change dramatically from powder, to mank, to corn, sometimes in the duration of a single run. That's why a board that does it all like the Jones Aviator Splitboard is such a huge asset in the backcountry, and why it's spawned a huge following. This directional twin butters and switches it up nicely, but also facilitates a versatile range of turn shapes, allowing you to turn on a dime without worrying about hooking an edge. Like other Jones splits, the Aviator features inner and outer Mellow Magne-Traction™ to let you get a grip on icy sidehills, plus it comes with premium Karakoram™ hardware so it rides just like your solid (non-split) board. *This is a factory blem board that may have slight cosmetic damage.*

Product Details

Rocker Type

Power CamberAn innovative traditional camber profile tweaked to offer the insane edge response of camber without the usual hangups. The camber radius tapers to flat toward the tips and the base is beveled up one degree at the edges from the contact points of the camber to the ends of the board. The base beveling releases the edges where they like to hook which balances the pop and directional stability of camber with a looser, less-catchy feel.

Flex

Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)7

Shape

Directional Twin

Progressive SidecutAt 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

Core

Ultra ISO CoreTriple-density core featuring stringers of ISOCORE - a foam/fiberglass composite that’s as stiff as any wood but 15% lighter. Hardwood beech stringers are positioned along the edges for added durability.

Laminates

Carbon Triax FiberglassA multi-layered tri-axis fiberglass meshed with carbon fiber power bands. Carbon power bands dampen vibrations and keep board stable at speed.

Fiberglass ReinforcementFiberglass layer improves pop in the nose and tail plus increases the longevity of the flex profile. This lightweight layer helps the board perform the same on day 100 as it did on day one - precise and playful.

Recycled RubberDampening material is made of 100% recycled rubber.

Sidewalls

Recycled ABS SidewallsABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.

Base

Flip Flop BaseBy flip flopping the base graphic colors, P-Tex waste is drastically reduced by increasing the material yield.

Sintered 9900 BaseSintered Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene with carbon addtitives

Edges

Inner and Outer Mellow Magne-TractionLike a serrated knife slicing into the snow, Magne-Traction improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board. "Magne-Traction is a critical feature for rockered boards. Rocker improves glide in mixed conditions, but the decreased edge contact makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Magne-Traction is crucial to offset the edge drift of rocker." - Jeremy Jones

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

Topsheet

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

Additional Features

Karakoram ClipsJones splitboards feature Karakoram K-clips plus tip and tail hooks. Adjustable tension K-clips increase board torsional stiffness.

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

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

Quick Tension TailBuilt-in climbing skin tension system using a pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.
