Construction and technologies:
- Core: Power Core – Advanced triple-density wood core made from sustainably sourced bamboo, paulownia, and poplar. Central bamboo stringers enhance durability, pop, and torsional stiffness, while paulownia keeps the core lightweight and damp.
- Koroyd: Developed with aerospace technology, the award-winning Koroyd synthetic material is the lightest damping core we’ve ever tested. It effectively absorbs chatter and reduces tip weight for faster, smoother turns.
- Fusion Carbon: Ultra-light, exclusive Jones carbon and fiberglass layup running from tip to tail. Designed to reduce weight without compromising performance or board response.
- Ash Wood Veneer: Lightweight and highly dampening ash wood veneer topsheet that eliminates chatter, provides even flex, and enhances torsional stiffness.
- Base: Ultra Base – Exclusive sintered Jones base infused with carbon for maximum speed and wax absorption. Saturated with a blend of wax types to ensure top glide in warm, wet, and variable snow. Made in Austria.
- Pro Construction: Designed for advanced riders, the PRO construction features triax fiberglass and carbon stringers for a stiffer flex, better vibration damping, and superior durability at high speeds and hard landings.
- Resin: Bio Resin – Eco-friendly epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon, reducing CO₂ emissions by 33% compared to petroleum-based resin. Derived from industrial byproducts of plant processing. Offers exceptional adhesion, durability, and long-lasting performance.
- Recycled ABS: Recycled ABS sidewalls with a rounded finish, designed for greater durability by minimizing topsheet chipping and impact damage.
- Recycled Steel Edges: Ultra-durable steel edges made from recycled German steel, built for maximum strength and longevity.
