The Ultralight Technical Objective Splitboard - ideal for high alpine expeditions and technical backcountry riding
The new Ultralight Butterfly Split is an ultralight split made for high alpine pursuits where the balance of weight and performance are hyper critical. By drastically reducing the tip and tail size, but keeping the contact points pushed out, the Butterfly Split has the effective edge of a board 10cm longer than its length. The long effective edge is matched wih a true camber profile for maximum edge power in variable alpine conditions. For added float, quick edge-to-edge response and unmatched torsional board lock, the Butterfly Split features 8mm of taper, a 3D Contour Base 3.0, Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0, the Boltless Bridge, Karakoram Tip Lock Tip Clips and Karakoram 3C Clips. The Ultralight Butterfly Split is also built with our Fusion Carbon construction including a new eco-topsheet and a wood core made with two sections of Koroyd that absorb chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood. The Ultralight Butterfly Split matches a revolutionary shape concept with cutting edge ultralight materials to become the key for pioneering riders to unlock game changing new lines in remote terrain.
SPECS
Terrian: Backcountry / Freeride
Board Shape: Directional
Flex: 8/10
Camber: True Camber
3D Contour Base 3.0:
Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.
Base:
Ultra Base - Jones exclusive base material that sets new performance standards. Lab results and snow testing show 25% better wax absorption, better glide in warm/wet snow and better durability for grinding. We’ve also doubled the amount of wax and mixed multiple wax types for a faster factory wax in a wider range of conditions.
Core:
Fusion Core - The Fusion Core is our lightest wood core yet. Core is made from mostly paulownia with specifically positioned pockets of poplar for improved durability and response
Fusion Carbon - This cutting edge board lay-up process is the latest evolution of our previous Fusion Tech construction and reduces board weight and improves durability by combining board materials in two stages.
Koroyd - Award-winning synthetic core material developed for the aerospace industry. Koroyd is the lightest and dampest core material we’ve ever tested. Koroyd absorbs vibrations and adds response at a fraction of the weight of wood which enhances board control and riding confidence.
Ultra Construction - Ultra Construction is the redefinition of what it takes tobuild a snowboard. We’ve tested every inch of the board to precisely position materials exactly where they are needed while eliminating all excess materials. Combining these innovative construction techniques with superlight wood cores and carbon fiber deliver revolutionary results. Jones Ultra boards are the lightest, yet most durable snowboards on earth.
Ultralight ECO Topsheet - Super damp, durable and lightweight topsheet material made from organic plant material.
Hardware:
Boltless Bridge - The Boltless 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 and a more powerful connection at the split clips.
Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 with Tip-Lock - Redesigned Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 are lighter weight, clamp tighter and have a smaller footprint than the original Ultra Clip. They are also adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.
Other Features:
Bio Resin - Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organic raw materials used to make bio-resin are co-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy.
Oversized recycled edges - All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
Recycled ABS Sidewalls - ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
Factory Tuned - All Jones Snowboards are factory de-tuned at the tip and tail so you can go right from the shop to the mountain.
Forever Flex - Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.
Inner edge Traction Tech - Inner edge Traction Tech improves splitboard edge grip on ascent. Three sidecut bumps on each side of your binding keep your locked in on icy skin tracks no matter which way you are traversing.
Progressive sidecut - At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.
Quick Tension Tail Clip - Built-in climbing skin tension system using pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.
Tapered Shape 8mm - The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.
