2014 Carbon Solution Video Review

The Specs:  

Jones Snowboard's Carbon Solution splitboard is for advanced big mountain riders who want to go deep in the backcountry in search of technical lines, spines, hips and cliffs. The highly-coveted board boasts an ultralight, all-carbon top-sheet that's extremely responsive and offers precise control. Carbon inlays improve pop and torsional stiffness. The directional rocker design provides camber between the feet and rocker in the tip and tail creating superior float-ability. The 'Mellow Magne-Traction' is built to give you multiple contact points, increasing edge-hold when you need it, and eliminating it when you don't. This deck also comes with Karakoram hardware-- the best split connection available on the market- making this the Cadillac of splitboards. Say goodbye to tip and tail chatter and hello to confidently sending it in down big-ass shoots deep in the backcountry.  

Reviewer's Insight: "This is for advanced big mountain riders. It's for people who like to point it at high speeds-- Larger, more aggressive riders who are going deep in the backcountry."

Riding-style: "This beast rides like a bat out of hell. Light and stiff. Hard to turn at slow speeds, but great at fast speeds. Stability in all conditions. Most comfortable splitboard I have ever ridden. Jones has a well developed big line slayer here. Camber/rocker shape felt amazing. Sintered base was fast strong."

Touring-style: "Light and easy to skin in. Mellow magna traction and stiff feel helped to hold edge on ice and crust. Camber/rocker shape very nice."
