How to mount your snowboard binding
SkateTech Technology
Bindings are the critical link between your body and your board. The perfect binding hugs your boot with no pressure points and transfers every movement to your edges with maximum efficiency.
Jones bindings are designed to deliver such unmatched comfort and response. At the heart of both models is the NOW Skate Tech pivot system. NOW SkateTech rethinks how your binding moves with your board. Traditional bindings lose energy when the baseplate flexes and bends unevenly against the rigid baseplate. The energy loss forces you to crank your straps tighter and ride with more forward lean to gain the same control. Uneven pressure and tight straps lead to more foot fatigue.
NOW SkateTech transfers energy directly from your binding straps to your board edges by actively pivoting the binding over the baseplate. Your feet stay more relaxed and more comfortable because the bindings transfer power to the board with less work.
1. Hanger 2.0 and 3.0
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.
3. Post
The Post attaches the hanger to the kingpin and is the connection between binding and board.
2. Kingpin
The Kingpin is the fulcrum that the Hanger pivots on. Design magnifies energy transfer and enhances board response through leverage.
4. Bushings
Bushings are the primary binding contact point and offer customizable response and dampening (Surf Mode and Freeride Mode).
Unmatched power
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 Flip-It ankle straps.
The Flip-It strap
The Flip-It strap allows you to interchange the ankle straps between the left and right binding to create custom response. Ride with the ankle straps in Freeride mode for more lateral support and board response or flip the straps into Surf Mode for solid heel support, but more ankle flexibility for getting loose.
Flip-it strap - 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.
Flip-it strap - 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.
Durability
Jones offers the original binding purchaser a lifetime warranty on the baseplate components (Hanger, Post and Nylon disc), along with a one year limited warranty on all other binding parts. This warranty is non-transferable and Jones reserves the right to repair or replace defective binding parts. For more information, visit our warranty center.
Please ensure all your screws are tight before heading out.
