The Frontier Split is the ultimate splitboard for playful riders looking for a directional freeride shape without a stiff flex. The Frontier features a floaty, freeride nose for pow crushing and crud busting matched with a freestyle tail that’s perfect for popping pillows and stomping cliff drops. On icy skin tracks or firm descents, the Directional Rocker profile and Inner/Outer Traction Tech 2.0 edges provide confident stability and edge grip. The Frontier Split offers high performance without skimping on materials as it’s built with a Sintered 8000 base, an Eco-plastic topsheet and a Classic V-Core that is specially profiled for added pop between the feet. The Frontier Split is also equipped with Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0, and new for 22/23, the Boltless Bridge that eliminates hardware in the base.

Profile: Directional Rocker
Terrain: Powder/Back Country
Response: Medium

Features:

• Classic Core: Full wood premium poplar core that offers fun pop, even flex and solid durability.
• Biax Fiberglass: A dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
• Sintered 8000 base: Super durable base material made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Base is easy to repair, easy to wax and super fast.
• Eco-Plastic Topsheet: Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This ecomaterial is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet).
• Karakoram Ultra Clips 2.0 with Tip-Lock: 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.
• Oversized recycled edges: 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. Jones improves the sustainability of their snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
• Wend Natural Wax: Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop
  and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
• 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 manufacturing process that helps stabilize the flex and rocker profile of a board for it’s lifetime. Our boards now finish the first stages of production slightly overbuilt and then we “break them in” using specialized machinery that mimics extreme riding use. By flexing the fresh board fibers and epoxy at the factory the materials settle in to their final arrangement within the board layup much the same as if you rode the board for 20 days. This process helps us narrow our production tolerances so the board you buy has a more accurate specified flex and rocker profile that will change less as you ride it more.
• Flip Flop Base

Profile: Directional Rocker

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

A smooth, reliable ride.

Directional shapes generally feature a longer, softer nose and a shorter, stiffer tail. 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. More twin-looking directional shapes where the difference between nose and tail appear minimal will perform best as crossover freestyle snowboards for those looking to still access the park, while more exaggerated differences will excel for additional float in deep powder.

Flex: 6 (Scale 1 - 10)

Versatility at its finest. 

Base: Sintered

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