Freeride by shape but all-mountain by nature, the Stratos is our Pro Team’s number one daily driver from storm cycles to spring sessions. On deep days it floats like a dedicated powder craft, but its short sidecut and lively flex are full of dynamic energy to stay out long after the mountain’s tracked. Proven from backcountry descents to banked slaloms podiums, there’s always a new line to ride when you’re on the Stratos.
Shape & profile
A snowboard's outline defines many of its characteristics, from how it turns or floats in powder to its performance riding switch. Shape affects everything from the width and taper of the nose and tail, to the position of the stance relative to the board's center.
Directional
Purpose-built to perform in one direction with a longer nose, shorter tail and setback stance that optimize float, maneuverability and edge power. Designed for riders who prioritize performance on groomers, variable terrain and in the backcountry over switch or freestyle riding.
Freeride CamRock
Versatile freeride profile featuring camber underfoot with an extended nose rocker and shorter tail rocker. This generates powerful edge hold, precise response and confidence at speed, combined with exceptional float and maneuverability in powder.
High Traction Tech
High Traction Tech features three bumps per edge (front binding, board center, back binding). The middle bump is bigger than the outside bumps for better grip and control.
Medium Tapered
A sweet-spot for directional shapes that need to float in powder but still hold their own across variable snow and terrain. Nimble in deep snow, precise on piste and versatile enough to handle a full day on the mountain. Any shape with 10–15mm of taper between the nose and tail.
Flip-Flop Base
Jones models with Flip-Flop bases are made in two base colorways to minimize P-Tex waste. Orders may be filled with either color and color does not vary by size.
Sintered 8000 Base
Premium sintered base material that’s ultra fast, highly wax absorbent, easy to repair and proven to be one of the most durable and long lasting base materials in the industry.
Wend Natural Wax
All Jones snowboards come factory waxed with WEND natural wax so they’re ready to shred straight out of the shop.
Biax Fiberglass
Biaxial fiberglass laminate made with a dual-layer, dual-directional construction that delivers a forgiving yet snappy board feel with a mid-soft torsional flex and quick energy transfer.
Bcomp Carbon Flax Stringer
Bcomp Carbon / Flax stringers offer the perfect performance balance as the carbon provides crazy pop and the flax sucks up chatter and reduces CO₂ emissions compared to a full carbon stringer. Developed in collaboration with the Swiss engineering firm Bcomp.
Premium Topsheet
Durable and scratch resistant premium topsheet engineered to endure rigorous daily use in extreme conditions.
Bio Resin
A bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon that reduces CO₂ emissions by 33% compared to conventional petroleum-based epoxy. Sourced from plant-based industrial by-products, its unmatched bonding properties deliver industry leading durability and performance.
Recycled ABS
Recycled ABS sidewalls with a rounded finish that are engineered to enhance durability by reducing topsheet chipping and impact damage.
Recycled edges
Bombproof steel edges made from recycled German steel, engineered for maximum strength and long-lasting durability.
Power Core
Advanced triple-density full wood core made from responsibly harvested Bamboo, Paulownia and Poplar. Centered Bamboo stringers enhance durability, pop and torsional stiffness, while the Paulownia keeps the core light and damp.
