Jones Stratos Splitboard

The Fusion Carbon construction significantly reduces the overall weight of the board, which makes a noticeable difference during long ascents. On the descent, it provides a snappier, more responsive feel that helps with energy transfer, though it is slightly stiffer and more demanding than traditional fiberglass layups.

It excels in both. The tapered directional shape and 3D Contour Base are specifically designed to keep the nose afloat in deep snow, while the mid-stiff flex and directional rocker profile provide the stability needed to handle variable, wind-scoured, or crusty backcountry conditions.

Not at all. The board uses Karakoram 3C Clips and a boltless bridge design, which creates a very tight, secure connection between the two halves. This hardware minimizes play, giving you a solid, reliable feel that closely mimics the performance of a traditional solid snowboard.

This board is built for advanced to expert riders who prioritize performance in technical terrain. If you are looking for a nimble, responsive board that can handle steep lines and all-day touring without feeling heavy or sluggish, this is an excellent choice.

The shorter sidecut radius makes the board feel very nimble and quick to initiate turns. It allows you to slash through tight trees or navigate technical couloirs with greater precision than a board with a longer, more drawn-out sidecut.
