Jones 2023 Project X

The Project X is a hybrid all-mountain board that rides smooth and powerful like a luxury sports sedan.

It is the same shape as the Stratos, but it's built with ultralight, premium materials and Fusion Carbon construction. The tapered shape drops the tail in pow for more float and the 3D Contour Base, narrow sidecut and mid-stiff flex offer the perfect balance of turn performance and stability at speed. The directional rocker profile and Traction Tech 3.0 keep the Project X locked on edge accelerating into carves. 

New for 2022, the nose section of the wood core is built with Koroyd, an ultralight composite material that is lighter than any wood, but super damp and durable. The Project X also features two layers of Carbon stringers for insane pop and Float Pack inserts that offer a setback stance option for the deepest days.

PRODUCT DETAILS

DESIGNED FOR: Intermediate - Expert / All-Mountain, Freestyle, Backcountry

SHAPE: Directional

FLEX:  Medium - 7/10

BASE: Ultra Base

CAMBER PROFILE: Camber

BINDING MOUNT: 4x2 12-pack

FEATURES:

• 3D Contour Base 3.0
  Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail.
  

• Traction Tech 3.0
  Traction Tech 3.0 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). 
  

• Directional Rocker
  A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker than tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tip floats the board’s nose and improves manoeuvrability 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 catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.

• Ultra Base: 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. 

• Koroyd Construction: Koroyd is the lightest, most advanced damping core material we've ever tested. Koroyd absorbs vibrations and adds response at a fraction of the weight which enhances control and confidence.

• Ultra Construction: Ultra Construction is the redefinition of what it takes to build a snowboard. Combining 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.

• Fusion Carbon: This cutting edge board lay-up process is the latest evolution of our previous Fusion Tech construction and reduces board weight and improves durability by combining board materials in two stages.

• Triax fiberglass: Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.

• Float Pack: Allows super setback stance for deep pow days.

• Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy.

• Thin recycled edges: Advancement in ski edge durability allow us to use thinner edges to save weight. Outside edges are 2mm, inside edges are 1.5mm.

• Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.

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

• Fiberglass reinforcement: Fiberglass layer improve 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.

• 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).

• Fusion Core: The lightest wood core yet. Core is made from mostly paulownia with specifically positioned pockets of poplar for improved durability and response.

• All Jones snowboards and splitboards are backed with a 2 year warranty + 1 free year extension.
