evo.com | Jones Snowboards > The Jones Stratos Snowboard is a high-energy, all-terrain freerider built to carve, float, and charge with style. Its tapered directional shape and short sidecut make it ultra-nimble, perfect for quick turns and effortless float in deep snow. Whether you're laying trenches on hardpack or slashing through trees, the Stratos delivers a lively, surf-inspired ride that thrives everywhere on the mountain. 2 x 4 Insert Pattern 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 Sintered 8000 Base New super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene and carbon. Recycled ABS ABS plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. Jones improves the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic. Traction Tech 3.0 Traction Tech 3.0 features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is slightly bigger than the outside bumps for better grip. The Jones Orion Bindings are your guide to a galaxy of freestyle fun, delivering playful yet precise control with a versatile medium flex. With a progressive flex highback and Skate Tech for smooth energy transfer, the Orion is ready to boost side hits, tweak grabs, and carve clean lines across the mountain. Light, responsive, and built for creative riding, these bindings are dialed for those who want to send it into orbit. Skate Tech The components of the SkateTech design mimic the function of a skateboard truck. The "Hanger" acts as a lever that transfers energy input from the straps to the "Bushings" and onto the board edges. The "Kingpin" acts as the fulcrum for the "Hanger" and magnifies the energy transfer through leverage. Traditional bindings lose energy when the baseplate flexes and bends unevenly. The energy loss forces you to crank your straps tighter and ride with more forward lean to gain the same control. Uneven pressure and tight straps lead to more foot fatigue and pain. By evenly pivoting over the "Post", the middle of your board flexes more uniformly and your energy inputs are focused directly on your edge. Your feet stay more relaxed and more comfortable because the bindings transfer power to the board with less work. Progressive Flex Highback Designed for precise and playful response. Symmetric mid-wide profile and medium flex for carving, tweaking airs and riding switch. Hanger 3.0 Binding hanger design featuring a wider bushing footprint that's closer to the edges for enhanced board connection and faster energy transfer. The Hanger 3.0 is also lighter weight and has a lower inner lateral wall for better ankle mobility and high volume boot fit. Nylon reinforced with 30% fiberglass.
