Jones Men’s Ultralight Project X Snowboard 2024

The Ultralight Project X is a hybrid all-mountain board that rides smooth and powerful like a luxury sports sedan. It is the same shape as the Stratos, but it’s built with ultralight, premium materials and Fusion Carbon construction. The tapered shape drops the tail in pow for more float and the 3D Contour Base, narrow sidecut and mid-stiff flex offer the perfect balance of turn performance and stability at speed. The directional rocker profile and Traction Tech 3.0 keep the Ultralight Project X locked on edge accelerating into carves. The nose and tail sections of the Ultralight Project X’s Ultra core are built with Koroyd, a super damp composite material that is lighter than any wood. The Ultralight Project X also features two layers of Carbon stringers for insane pop, and new for 23/24, an ultralight eco-topsheet.

Features:

• 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.
• Fusion Core: The Fusion Core is Jones lightest wood core yet. Core is made from mostly paulownia with specifically positioned pockets of poplar for improved durability and response.
• Ultra Construction: Ultra Construction is the redefinition of what it takes to build a snowboard. Jones 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.
• Carbon Stringers: Carbon stringers add torsional stiffness for improved response and increased pop. Carbon layer keeps flex profile dimensionally stable for a consistent ride for the lifetime of the board.
• Koroyd® Core: 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 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.

Profile:  Directional Rocker (Multi-Camber)

A hybrid rocker/camber flex pattern defined by more tip rocker than tail rocker and camber between the bindings. The rockered tips floats the board’s nose and improves maneuverability while the camber underfoot provides edge hold and response. A slightly rockered tail maintains the power and stability of a traditional board but helps keep the tail catch-free initiating turns and landing switch.
        

Shape: Directional

These shapes thrive in an all-mountain environment, as they possess the ability to ride more smoothly than their twin-tip counterparts and behave more reliably in variable snow conditions, anywhere from choppy snow to deeper powder.

Flex:  8 (Scale 1 – 10)

Power. Precision. Control.

Base: Sintered

High-end base material that is harder, more durable, and faster than extruded bases.
