Jones Solution Splitboard - 2021
Featuring a directional freeride shape, directional rocker profile and a mid-stiff flex, the Solution is playful in soft snow, yet confidence inspiring in deep, hard snow. Jones has completely redesigned the Solution's shape for 2021 by adding more taper and a 3D Contour Base 3.0. Tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float, and the 3D Contour Base makes every turn more fluid and effortless. For added response the Solution is built with Jone's premium Ultra core, Flax/Basalt Power stringers and an ECO-plastic topsheet. The Solution also features Boltless Bridge plus Karakoram Ultra Clips and Tip-Lock Tip Clips for unmatched torsional board lock and Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0 for added edge grip going up or down.

Technical Specs
Inside & outside 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. Inner edge Traction Tech: Inner edge Traction Tech improves splitboard edge grip on ascent. Three sidecut bumps on each side of your binding keep your locked in on icy skin tracks no matter which way you are traversing.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.
Quick Tension Tail Clip: Built-in climbing skin tension system using pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.
Boltless Bridge: The Boltless Bridge eliminates split clip attachment hardware from the base of the board by re-profiling the wood core at the clips. The wood core under the clips is thicker, providing better torsional stiffness and a more powerful connection at the split clips.
Tapered shape, 12.5 mm: The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.
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
Technology
Boltless Bridge: Less hardware, more power. The Boltless bridge eliminates split clip hardware from the base of the board and enhances split connection by re-profiling the woodcore under the clips.Karakoram Ultra Clips: Say hello to the strongest, lowest profile splitboard clips in the world. Karakoram Ultra Clips are also adjustable so you can maintain compression as your splitboard ages.
Karakoram Tip-Lock Tip Clips: Goodbye open tip clips. Karakoram Tip Lock Tip Clips quickly lock the tips of your split with the flick of the lever. Never watch your clips pop open on rough snow again!
Quick Tension Tail Clip: Jones exclusive climbing skin tension system that attaches to precut tail notches and eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.
Flax/Basalt Stringers: Sustainable strength. Jones exclusive Flax/Basalt stringers are made with 100% natural fibers and help transfer power to the edges and absorb board chatter.
Triax Fiberglass: Multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.
Sustainably Sourced Woodcore: All Jones woodcores are made from wood species that have been sustainably grown and harvested.
Premium Sintered base: Life's too short to ride slow bases! All Jone's boards have hyper fast sintered bases made from super durable and wax absorbing premium P-Tex.
3D Contours Base: Welcome to the future. 3D Contour bases are next level tech that enhances glide + float and delivers unmatched turn flow and fluidity in any snow condition.
