Ultralight, Durable, High Performance

When you're earning your turns and pushing the limits of your stamina in the backcountry, the lighter your board on the way up, the more energy you have for the way down.

The Jones Ultralight Series is a new collection of cutting edge splitboards for those adventures that demand bringing lightweight gear to maximize your muscle power. All four of the Ultralight models offer the perfect balance of performance vs weight and are made for expert backcountry riders who break trail and rip lines in the most challenging and complex terrain around.

The Ultralight series is defined by our desire to constantly improve the performance of our boards by redefining what it takes to build a board. We test every inch of every model to precisely position materials exactly where they are needed, while eliminating all excess materials.

Combining these innovative construction techniques with state-of-the-art cores, stringers, bases and topsheets delivers revolutionary results.

Jones Ultralight splitboards are the lightest, yet most technically capable splitboards we've ever produced.

Ultralight Hovercraft Split 2.0

The Ultralight Hovercraft 2.0 Split is the lightest split in the Jones line and designed for expeditions and high alpine assaults. Featuring a tapered directional shape and a long sidecut, it charges in any snow and offers surprisingly diverse performance for its compact size.

Key characteristics

  • Floaty nose, compact tail for nimble maneuverability.
  • Directional rocker profile and long sidecut for stability at speed.
  • 12mm of spoon bevel in the nose for improved glide.
  • Fusion Carbon construction including Koroyd in the wood core that absorbs chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood.
  • Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0 edges for enhanced grip and Boltless Bridge plus Karakoram 3C Clips for ultimate torsional board connection
  • Ultralight Hovercraft Split 2.0 156 board weight =  2.7 kg / 5.94 lbs

The Ultralight Hovercraft Split feels light underfoot when you’re skinning, but I really notice the weight savings bootpacking. When you strap it to your back it feels way lighter than a standard split.

Ultralight Butterfly Split

The Ultralight Butterfly Split is the most advanced split we’ve ever produced. It’s made for high alpine pursuits where the balance of weight and performance are hyper critical. By reducing the tip and tail size, but keeping the contact points pushed out, the Butterfly has a super long effective edge which maximizes edge power in variable alpine conditions.

Key characteristics

  • Long effective edge + full camber profile for max edge power
  • Dual Radius Tips, 15mm of taper and a 3D Contour Base for added float
  • Fusion Carbon construction including Koroyd in the wood core that absorbs chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood.
  • Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0 edges for enhanced grip and Boltless Bridge plus Karakoram 3C Clips for ultimate torsional board connection
  • Designed to be ridden 5-10 cm shorter than your standard freeride board.
  • Ultralight Butterfly Split 154 board weight =  2.7 kg / 5.94 lbs

The Butterfly is built for going far and high past your preconceived boundaries, where weight reduction is critical to climbing more vert than you ever have in a day, or pushing further into a range than ever before.

Men's Ultralight Stratos Split

The Ultralight Stratos Split is an ultralight split built for extending your range and pushing your riding potential in the backcountry. A tapered directional freeride shape matched with an energetic freestyle board feel make this split incredibly versatile and agile in mixed conditions.

Key characteristics

  • Tapered directional shape + short sidecut for effortless slashing
  • Directional rocker profile for power and grip
  • 3D Contour Base for ultra fast glide and fluid turn initiation
  • Fusion Carbon construction including Koroyd in the wood core that absorbs chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood.
  • Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0 edges for enhanced grip and Boltless Bridge plus Karakoram 3C Clips for ultimate torsional board connection
  • Ultralight Stratos Split 159 board weight =  2.7 kgs / 5.94 lbs

Ultralight Stratos Split is my favorite board for adventure. I personally love this board for making difficult or scary situations manageable. This summer in Argentina I had a lot to learn in terms of splitboarding icy and unforgiven terrain, the Ultralight Stratos Split was my saving grace.

Men's Ultralight Solution Split

The Ultralight Solution is an ultralight yet high powered directional freeride split with a mid-stiff flex that's built for pushing the limits of what’s possible in the backcountry. It's the ideal split for powerful riders who like to rip turns at top speed and ride committing technical terrain.

Key characteristics

  • Tapered directional shape + long sidecut for stability at speed
  • Directional rocker profile for power and grip
  • 3D Contour Base for ultra fast glide and fluid turn initiation
  • Fusion Carbon construction including Koroyd in the wood core that absorbs chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood.

I’d go anywhere with the Ultralight Solution. Simply the best splitboard I’ve ever used. Great for uphill and when riding, holds speed so well. I also love the fact that I can trust the board in any conditions.
