...The Solution has earned itself an enviable reputation as the ultimate all-terrain splitboard, delivering unrivalled backcountry performance in any snow condition. As the best selling split on the market, it’s the go-to choice for riders who want performance & reliability. Completely re-designed last season, the Solution features a directional freeride shape, directional rocker profile & a mid-stiff flex. This makes it playful in soft snow, yet confidence inspiring on steep, hard snow. For better float in pow, the Solution’s tapered shape sinks the tail & the 3D Contour Base makes every turn more fluid & effortless. For added response, the Solution is built with our premium Ultra core, Flax/ Basalt Power stringers & an e CO-plastic top sheet. For added edge grip, the Solution features Inner/ Outer Traction Tech 3.0, & new for 21/22, the Solution is now equipped with the smaller & lighter, Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 Rider Style Advanced to expert riders who are looking for the ultimate in split board performance for high mountain touring. Shape Overview The Solution features an all-new fully directional shape which utilises an innovative blunt diamond nose & tail profile. This state of the art shape tricks the board into thinking it has a longer nose, which helps channel the flow of snow under the front, increasing both float & lift. However, as the nose length is still relatively short, the new Solution has a surprisingly low swing weight, giving the rider a more controllable & balanced overall ride. Now as the new Solution is all about performance, Jones fit it with their innovative Traction Tech 3.0 sidecut profile (1). This adds small bumps along the length of the sidecut, creating additional traction points at the edges. These deliver a more stable & secure ride without the unpredictability of other manipulated side cuts. To enhance turning performance even further, the Solution features the advanced Progressive Sidecut. By gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact points, the Solution delivers smoother turn initiation & exit as the edge tracks in & out of the snow with a less abrupt transition. Profile The Solutions freeride specific profile combines an extended rocker zone at the nose with a setback camber between the inserts & a shorter rocker at the tail. This profile allows the board to float effortlessly in deep snow while still delivering a powerful & dynamic ride on hardpack terrain. The shorter rocker at the tail when combined with the stiffer flex helps create a more responsive & stable feel at the back of the board while increasing power out the back of the turn.3D Contour Base 3.0 One of the key features that set the new Solution apart is the innovative 3D Contour Base profile. This unique design adds an even balance of 7mm spoon at both the nose & tail running from the start of the board's rocker zone. Although this bevel doesn't look much to the naked eye, it transforms the way the board rides. Turn initiation becomes smoother & more fluid while float at the nose increases, thanks to the way the profile funnels the snow down & under the nose. Boltless Bridge (4) The Bolt-less Bridge eliminates split clip attachment hardware from the base of the board by re-profiling the wood core at the clips. The wood core under the clips is thicker providing better torsional stiffness & a more powerful connection at the split clips. Internals Heading up the Solutions all-new construction is the advanced 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. To this, Jones then add structural layers formed from multi-axis, tri-ax glass to deliver a responsive ride in all types of terrain. To this, Jones then add Flax & Basalt stringers which not only transfer more power to the edges but also help reduce chatter at higher speeds. Now to deliver a smoother overall feel, Jones fit the new Flagship with an FSC approved engineered Veneer top sheet. Not only does this look great, but it also helps dampen out unwanted vibrations to deliver a more comfortable ride. Base As you would expect for such a performance inspired board Jones don't hold back when it comes to the base. Featuring a super high end 9900 sintered material, it's one of the fastest boards out there.
