Jones Project X Snowboard 2020

Product Description

THe FUTURe OF SNOWBOARDING IS He Re TODAYOver the past few years, we’ve seen a steady increase in the number of boards over £1000 coming to the market. However, the problem with the majority of them is that they are nothing more than a vanity project designed to take large sums of money from unsuspecting wealthy consumers. The Jones Project X though is an entirely different animal. Without a doubt, the most advanced snowboard on the market, this unique snowboard is a complete game changer when it comes to snowboard manufacturing. It’s revolutionary construction, originating out of the lab at SWS delivers a game changing snowboard that redefines all terrain board performance. Aimed at experienced riders who are looking for a high-performance freestyle inspired all-terrain board, the unique Project X delivers class-leading levels of performance combined with a smooth & fluid ride, shattering that myth that you need a stiff & aggressive board to access that ultimate level of snowboard performance. So, if you’re one of those riders that like to ride the whole mountain, who loves to lay down those perfect lines from first lift until last, then the Jones Project X could just be the board you’ve been waiting for. Rider Style Advanced to expert riders who want a high-performance all-terrain board, but who still want a smooth & relaxing ride. Shape Overview The Project X utilises the same Twin directional shape as Jones’s highly acclaimed Aviator. This innovative all-terrain outline has been specially designed to deliver a responsive & dynamic ride across the whole mountain without sacrificing any of the boards more balanced freestyle feel. To this, Jones then add their state of the art Traction Tech 1.0 sidecut. This places small bumps along the sidecut, creating additional bite points for the edge. These work, in the same way, the serrations on a bread knife work by creating more of a cutting edge. However, because of Traction Tech’s low profile, it doesn’t hook up at slow speeds like most manipulated sidecuts. Profile The Project X’s Power Camber profile could best be described as an evolution of the traditional camber profile. By tapering the camber radius to flat at the tip & tail, Jones have created a board that has that powerful, solid & locked on feel through the turn, but one which won’t bite you if you want to back it off. Those flat zones also create a stable platform just before the tail kick helping you to pre-load ollies for the ultimate pop off kickers.3D Contour Base 2.0 One of the key ingredients to what makes the Project X so versatile is the innovative 3D Contour 2.0 base profile. This state of the art base shape features an even balance of 4mm spoon bevel in the nose & 4mm spoon bevel in the tail. This delivers three distinct benefits to the rider, the first of these is that it creates a smoother transition from edge to edge helping give the Project X’s luxury ride. Secondly it lifts those contact points clear of the snow creating a smooth, buttery freestyle feel, & finally, it helps channel snow flow down under the board creating additional lift in the pow. Construction Although the Project X looks like other high-end boards, when you get to the nitty-gritty of what’s inside it, that’s where things get a little bit special. Heading up this ground-breaking construction is the all-new lightweight Ultra core. This is the lightest core that Jones has ever made & consists mostly of featherweight paulownia, reinforced with poplar stringers to give the perfect balance of durability & power. However, what sets the Project X apart from other boards is the advanced structural layers. These are formed from multiple layers of the advanced Spread Tow Textreme Carbon fibre, reinforced with fibreglass in critical areas. In marked contrast to all other construction methods, these layers have been pre-cured in the lab to ensure absolute consistency & zero imperfections. These finished layers are then bonded to the finished core to deliver the most consistent performance available. It’s this final stage of construction that is unique in snowboard manufacturing & is paving the way for future snowboard design & production. Base As you would expect when it comes to the base material the Project X doesn’t cut any corners. So, to ensure that this is one of the fastest boards on the hill, Jones use their stunning Sintered Ultra Base. This super high spec world cup proved base is manufactured from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-Pe) modified with special Fluoro & Paraffin based additives for better glide & increased durability. ULTRA base is harder & faster than any other sintered base.
