Jones Frontier 2.0 Men's Snowboard
The new generation of the popular all-mountain board is equipped with features for an even better freeride experience, while maintaining the friendly and fun nature that made this board so popular.
This year's Frontier 2.0 features a completely new directional shape and 3D contours that make it easier to initiate turns and float beautifully in powder. It retains its softer flex, so it's still pure love for riders that will now offer you a slightly better riding experience, whatever the conditions.
Specifications
- Flex: 2/5
- Level: advanced
- Destination: Freeride 9/10, All-mountain 10/10, Park 6/10
- Directional Low Tapered shape: longer nose and shorter tail combined with a tapered tail profile brings agility when floating in powder.
- Directional Camber/Rocker Profile: A dominant camber complemented by rocker in the front and minimal or no rocker in the rear. The rocker in the front improves floating and control in deep snow, while the camber from the front binding to the tail offers solid edge grip, precise response and stability.
- Sintered 8000 base: extra fast base, highly absorbent, easy to repair and proven to be one of the most durable.
- Biax Fiberglass Lamination: a biaxial and two-layer fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, nimble ride and fast energy transfer.
- Medium 3D Contour Base: 3D contours with 4mm bevel in the nose and 0-4mm bevel in the tail. The spoon-shaped bevel starts at the contact points where the board lifts into rocker. This 3D shaping is used for dynamic and smooth descents, intuitive turn entry and better float in powder.
- Premium Topsheet: premium scratch-resistant surface designed to withstand tough everyday use in extreme conditions.
- Master Core Wood Core: Dual density wood core; 1:1 ratio of paulownia and poplar keeps the core light, flexible and durable.
- Forever Flex: a new manufacturing process that helps maintain the same level of flex and rocker throughout the life of the board
- Medium Traction Tech: A serrated knife-like edge that cuts into the snow. Traction Tech improves edge grip by providing extra contact points/bumps along the entire length of the board.
- 3D Flip Tip: special raise at the nose maximizes buoyancy in deep snow, improves board glide, turn initiation while reducing nose catching on uneven terrain.
Sustainability
- WEND Natural Wax: All Jones snowboards are factory waxed with WEND natural wax, so they are ready to ride right away.
- Bio resin: using a greater proportion of resin from natural raw materials, instead of petroleum. The production of bio resin reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 33%.
- Strong recycled edges: oversized edges made from recycled German steel are more sustainable and stronger.
- Sidewalls made of recycled ABS
- Solar Power: the energy for the production of all Jones snowboards is now 100% derived from the sun.
- Sustainable wood sourcing: all cores are made from wood species that are grown sustainably.
- 1% For The Planet: The Jones brand is part of a program through which 1% of every sale goes to environmental organizations.
- Fair Trade Certified: Jones snowboards and splitboards are the first on the market to boast Fair Trade certification, which guarantees that the people who made the boards received a fair wage for their work.
How to choose a snowboard
When choosing a snowboard, it is important that it matches the level and experience of the rider and his overall physical constitution - i.e. height and weight. A beginner with no previous experience should choose a snowboard that is not too specific in its parameters for a specific snowboarding style.
Advanced riders usually prefer a specific style – freeride (freeride / pow), freestyle (park riding on obstacles, jumps) or universal/allround (riding on the slope).
VIDEO: How to Choose a Snowboard
The Length of the Snowboard
The length of the snowboard should generally be up to the chin. If the rider is still expected to grow, the size should be chosen between the chin and the nose. For freestyle you can choose a slightly shorter board, but this is not a rule. A board that is too short could make you oversteer in a turn, while a board that is too long makes it difficult to transition into a turn and is generally harder to control.
Weight of the Rider
Each snowboard has a specific weight tolerance - the range of minimum and maximum rider weight. When choosing a snowboard, it is important to consider whether the rider is within this weight tolerance or not. If the rider is too light for the chosen snowboard, they will not flex enough in the turn, will not ride the full length of the effective edge and will not take advantage of the board's characteristics. Riders weighing above the weight tolerance risk overloading the snowboard or damaging it.
If you're not sure if the snowboard you've chosen suits your weight, ask us!
The Width of the Snowboard
The width of the snowboard is also an important parameter. It is important that the rider does not reach the toes or heels of the boots to the slope when riding in an arc. Riders with a boot size of UK 10.5 (EUR 45) and larger should look for wide versions of snowboards. With such a board they will be able to cut arcs without grinding the slope with their toes. There are also snowboards in mid-wide (slightly wider boards) and superwide (wide boards for really big feet) versions.
Flex (Stiffness and Flexibility) of the Snowboard
Softer boards are more suitable for beginners, are easier to control and forgive more mistakes. They are also sought after by freestyle riders who spend most of their time jibbing (riding over obstacles). However, at faster speeds, a soft snowboard is no longer obedient in the arc and cannot bounce as nimbly as a stiffer board.
Stiffer boards require experienced, fast to aggressive riding. When ridden fast, it holds better on edge and overall on frozen surfaces. The choice of a very stiff snowboard depends on the rider's experience, riding style as well as weight - lighter riders should opt for a softer snowboard instead. Not sure how stiff your snowboard is? Ask us!
Women's Snowboards
Women's snowboards take into account the specifics of the female figure. Girls have a different centre of gravity than men, their feet are smaller and their height/weight ratio is also different. All these differences are reflected in the geometry and construction of women's snowboards.
Women's snowboards are narrower, usually softer, and inserts are moved a few millimetres closer to the centre compared to the men's version.
Types of Snowboard Bends
Another criterion when choosing a new snowboard is also the type of bend, such as camber, rocker, flat and various hybrid bends such as 3D camber, double camber etc. The best way to know the type is to put the snowboard on a flat floor and look at its profile to see where it is bent and which parts of the base are touching the ground.
A beginner will be most comfortable with a rocker that is more forgiving of mistakes. The opposite camber bend is better suited for more experienced riders, as it can bite the edge more easily, so it's good to have the snowboard under maximum control, and it has more pop and more precise control over the rocker. The flat shape with almost zero flex provides stability in all terrain, but is most used in snowpark. The hybrid flex is a combination of camber and rocker together, making it a versatile all-mountain board.
Balance of Components
The individual components of the snowboard equipment should be balanced. High-end snowboard assumes a higher model of bindings and snowboard boots. The equipment should be a balanced unit. Manufacturers often list recommended combinations of components in their catalogues and websites.
If you're buying a whole set of gear, it's a good idea to start by choosing your boots. Depending on the size, shape, thickness and possibly the brand of the snowboard boots, the appropriate bindings will be chosen.
For the maximum life of your snowboard, it's a good idea to follow a few rules and tips - these can be found in the article Snowboard maintenance: base and edge care.
