We're not sure if Jones was in cahoots with NASA when it came to the production of the Jones Project X Snowboard, but given its flyweight core and next-gen carbon fiber construction, it's easy to believe. The Project X is an all-mountain rider that feels just as at home tapping the park as it does rippin' the backcountry. It features an upgraded Ultra construction that's reinforced with TeXtreme carbon - the kind of stuff they use in next-gen jets and the fastest sailboats in the world. Pair that with a new Ultra wood core and a stiff yet responsive feel and eco-conscious layup and you get the future of snowboard manufacturing, now. With its hand-numbered, limited edition production, the Jones Project X Snowboard won't last long.
Power Camber – An innovative traditional camber profile tweaked to offer the insane edge response of camber without the usual hang-ups. 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.
Directional Flex Pattern
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
3D Contour Base 2.0 – Moderate 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 4mm spoon bevel in the nose and 4mm spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.
Directional All Mountain – Versatile directional twin models designed for piste, park and pow. Each model features a unique combination of flex, materials and camber profiles that have been fine tuned for maximum maneuverability and stability riding in any snow condition.
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™ Ultra Core – The new Ultra Core is Jones' lightest wood core yet. Made from mostly paulownia with specially positioned poplar stringers for better durability and turn power.
Fiberglass Reinforcement – Fiberglass layer improves pop in 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.
2x TeXtreme® Carbon – Specially designed carbon fiber (12k non-crimp fabric) that is podium proven in the America's Cup and Tour De France. TeXtreme achieves a weight savings of about 20-30% compared to conventional carbon fiber.
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 Ultra Base – New Jones exclusive base material that sets new performance standards. Lab results and snow testing show 25% better wax absorption, better glide in warm/wet snow and better durability for grinding. Jones also doubled the amount of wax and mixed multiple wax types for a faster factory wax in a wider range of conditions.
Flip Flop Base – Flip-Flop bases improve board sustainability by reducing p-tex waste.
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.
Thin Recycled Edges – Advancements in ski edge durability allows Jones to use thinner edges on splitboard inside edges (and Project X outside edges) to save weight. Outside edges are 2mm, inside edges are 1.5mm.
Fusion Tech – Jones' exclusive production process allows the traditional topsheet layer to be replaced with ultra durable epoxy layer for saving weight and material.
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).
Ultra Construction – Ultra Construction is the redefinition of what it takes to build a snowboard. Jones has tested every inch of the board to precisely position materials exactly where they are needed while eliminating all excess materials. Combining these innovative construction techniques with superlight wood cores and carbon fiber deliver revolutionary results. Jones Ultra boards are the lightest, yet most durable snowboards on earth.
Super Sap 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.
