Comfort Foam foot pillow: Full length EVA foam footbed that maximizes binding comfort while minimizing foot fatigue. The 3D molded footbed surface offers supreme traction for any boot tread pattern and prevents snow build-up.
Hanger 2.0 - Nylon reinforced with 30% fiberglass: Hanger pivots on the Kingpin like a lever allowing lightning fast edge-to-edge energy transfer. True baseless design that delivers the most even board flex of any binding on the market. Nylon reinforced with 30% fiberglass
Universal Mounting Disk - Compatible with 4x2, 4x4 and EST/Channel: All Jones bindings include a mounting disc compatible with traditional 4x4 inserts, 2x4, and the EST/Channel mounting system.
Nylon, 50% Glass fiber post
Freeride Mode Bushings: This binding comes equipped with Hard Bushings (Freeride Mode) for maximum board response.
Asym buckles: Bombproof buckles made from aircraft-grade alloy featuring ultra-strong levers and springs. Triple action ratchet design increases speed of entry and release.
Freeride mode / Surf mode ankle strap: Jones bindings offer customizable dampening and response by switching between Surf Mode and Freeride Mode. Surf Mode lets you tweak harder, while Freeride Mode keeps you locked in for maximum response.
Tool-less strap adjustment: Change strap length on the fly with just a flick and twist of your wrist.
3D Flex Fit 2.0 toe straps: 3D Flex Fit 2.0 toe straps dynamically stretch to fit any shape boot. The new minimalist design is even lower profile and every bit as comfortable, durable and responsive as the original design.
Power ankle straps: Power Ankle Straps are made of durable molded ABS and are wide + asymmetric for enhanced comfort and adjustable response. Flip-It Strap compatible (Freeride mode + Surf mode).
Hinge Connector strap attachment: New Hinge Connectors keep your ankle strap out of the way when you step in to strap in, and the new Curved Ladders make it easy to line up the buckle and quickly ratchet down.
Power is transmitted directly to the edge.
When you make a hard heel or toe turn the force you place on your straps and highback is transferred directly to your edge through the hanger, kingpin and post. By using the mechanical advantage of this pivot and lever system SkateTech binding are the most responsive bindings in the world. Once on edge, you are locked in.
No comparison to traditional bindings. Power is transmitted through the center disk.
When you make a hard heel or toe turn on traditional bindings the pressure you place on your straps goes into the fixed center disk and forces the binding baseplate to bend before power is delivered to the edges. Energy is concentrated at the center of the board with traditional rigid baseplates which decreases potential turn power compared to SkateTech bindings.
Freeride mode VS Surf mode
Jones bindings offer customizable dampening and response by switching between Surf Mode and Freeride Mode. Surf Mode lets you tweak harder, while Freeride Mode keeps you locked in for maximum response. Switch modes by changing the bushings from soft (Surf Mode) to hard (Freeride Mode) and adjusting the Flip-It ankle straps. The Flip-It strap allows you to interchange the ankle straps between the left and right binding to create custom response.
Freeride mode: Position the wide half of the strap above the buckle for more lateral support and board response. Use Hard Bushings for maximum board response.
Surf mode: Position the wide half of the strap below the buckle for solid heel support but more ankle flexibility for getting loose. Use Soft Bushings for a looser, more dynamic surf feel.
