evo.com | Jones Snowboard Bindings > The Jones Mercury Bindings are built for riders who blur the line between freeride and freestyle, offering the perfect combo of nimble power and all-terrain versatility. With Skate Tech for lightning-fast edge-to-edge response and Power Spine Ankle Straps featuring Flip-It technology, these bindings are as responsive as they are comfortable. Whether you're slashing powder or launching side hits, the Mercury gives you the control to ride creatively and confidently. They're the go-anywhere, do-everything bindings for riders who want performance without compromise. 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. Personality / Flex: Stiff & Lively 4/5 (1 = Soft and Forgiving, 5 = Stiff and Lively) Power Spine Ankle Straps Two part molded ankle strap with a wider bottom section for flexible comfort and a stiffer center spine for unmatched response. Flip-It Strap compatible (Surf mode vs Freeride mode). Control Flex Highback Designed for balanced response and flex. Mid-wide profile and mid-stiff flex let you lock in turns or tweak airs. Carbon Injected 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. | Jones Mercury Snowboard Bindings 2026 - Large in Black
