Jones Snowboards Hovercraft 2.0 Splitboard

While it excels in powder, the board features Traction Tech on both the inside and outside edges. This creates multiple contact points along the sidecut, providing reliable grip and stability even when you encounter firm, icy conditions during your ascent or descent.

Yes, it is designed with that in mind. The Control Split Core uses a blend of Poplar and Paulownia wood to keep the weight down, and the carbon stringers add torsional stiffness, which helps reduce leg fatigue over long days of skinning and riding.

These components are crucial for a solid ride. The Ultra Clips pull the board halves together tightly to eliminate chatter, while the Bolt-less Bridge removes hardware from the base, creating a seamless connection that feels more like a solid snowboard than a splitboard.

The directional rocker gives you the best of both worlds: plenty of float in deep snow thanks to the rockered nose, and solid edge hold underfoot from the camber section. It makes the board maneuverable in tight trees while remaining stable when you pick up speed.

The board features a Quick Tension Tail Clip, which is designed to work seamlessly with Jones-specific skins. While you can use other skins, the system is optimized for Jones skins to ensure a secure, hassle-free attachment every time you transition.

With a stiffness rating of 7/10, it sits in the sweet spot of being responsive and powerful without being overly aggressive. It offers enough pop and stability for steep, technical terrain, but it remains forgiving enough for all-day comfort.
