JONES FRONTIER SPLITBOARD

JONES FRONTIER SPLITBOARDS are available in our HOMIES stores in Chicoutimi, Alma and online.

The Frontier Split is the ultimate splitboard for playful riders looking for a directional freeride shape without stiff flex.

The Frontier features a floaty, freeride nose for shredding powder and slagging, paired with a freestyle tail perfect for popping pillows and stomping cliffs. On icy slopes or firm descents, the Directional Rocker profile and Inner/Outer Traction Tech 2.0 edges provide stability and sure grip. The Frontier Split delivers high performance without skimping on materials as it's built with an 8000 sintered base, an eco-friendly plastic topsheet, and a specially contoured classic V-core for added pop between the feet. The Frontier Split also features the upgraded Karakoram Ultra Clip 1.0 and easily replaceable screw-on Karakoram tip clips.

Shape specifications

Interior and exterior Traction Tech 2.0 (1)
Like a serrated knife sharp in the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple points of contact along the stroke length of your board.

Progressive sidecut (2)
At the ends of the dimension line, the radius gradually increases as the edge reaches the point of contact. The gradual increase in sidecut radius towards the contact point allows for smoother turn entry and exit as the edge enters and exits the snow with a less abrupt transition.

Quick Tension Tail Clip (3)
Integrated climbing skin tension system using a pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip

Directional flex pattern
Staggered toe-to-tail flex pattern designed for directional freeride boards. The nose, center of the board and heel have slightly different stiffnesses to help lift the nose, sink the heel and improve stability at high speeds.

V-core
Jones exclusive woodcore profile that provides a stable and playful board feel. The wood core is softer between the feet for easy turn initiation and stiffer in the nose and tail for stability in rough terrain and landing air.

blunt nose
How a board glides through powder, crust, corn, or any snow more than an inch deep is dictated by its point of contact before and just after. Next time you're in soft snow, watch how much snow falls on the corner of your nose near the point of contact. Puffy snow coming out from behind the tip means you're plowing through it, which obviously slows you down. By adding a blunt nose you get the buoyancy benefits of a much longer nose without the rounded 'snowplow' tip and it's added weight. - Jeremy Jones

Directional Rocker
A rocker/camber hybrid flex pattern defined by more tip rocker than tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The tip rocker floats the nose of the board and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board, but helps keep the tail free of hooks for initiating turns and landing switch.

"My experience is that most freeride falls start at the nose of the board - either you go over the bars in powder, the nose gets stuck under some weird crust and throws you off, or you hit a tranny hard at the point of contact from tipping over and bumping into it. Directional Rocker eliminates most of those drops.” - Jeremy Jones
