MANUFACTURER’S OPINION

The Jones Stratos splitboard is an innovative board designed for riders seeking exceptional performance on all terrains. Here are the key elements of the Jones Stratos:

Hybrid design: The Stratos combines the characteristics of a freeride board with those of an all-mountain board, offering remarkable versatility. It is ideal for technical descents, big lines, and off-piste tours.
Directional camber: Featuring a cambered profile underfoot with a rocker at the tip and tail, it ensures excellent grip on hard snow and optimal float in powder.
FSC™ Ultra Core: Made of FSC-certified paulownia and poplar wood, this core is both lightweight and responsive, offering a lively feel underfoot.
Sintered 9900 Base: This ultra-dense and durable base ensures fast and consistent glide, even in the most varied snow conditions.
Carbon reinforcements: Carbon strips are integrated into the board’s structure to increase its torsional stiffness and responsiveness, thus improving downhill performance.
3D Contour Base 3.0 Shape: The board’s ends are slightly raised, making turns easier and improving float in powder.
Locking system: The Stratos is equipped with Karakoram Ultra Clips, which ensure a solid and play-free assembly of the two parts of the splitboard, thus improving performance in descent mode.

In summary, the Jones Stratos is a high-end splitboard designed for demanding riders who want a board capable of performing on all types of terrain, from steep slopes to deep powder fields. Its advanced construction and integrated technologies make it a top choice for alpine adventures.
