Jones Ultralight Hovercraft 2.0 Split

The Ultralight Hovercraft 2.0 Split is the new edition of the renowned Ultracraft Split. It remains one of our lightest, most advanced splitboards as its been redesigned with cutting edge 3D Shape Tech and new materials. The Ultralight Hovercraft’s new shape features the floaty nose, compact tail, directional rocker profile and long sidecut that made the original shape so versatile, but its been updated with 12mm of spoon bevel in the nose for lightning fast turn initiation and a speed boosting 3D hull in the tail. The Ultralight Hovercraft is built with Fusion Carbon construction including a new eco-topsheet and a wood core made with two sections of Koroyd that absorb chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood. For added edge grip and torsional board lock, it’s built with Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0, the Boltless Bridge, plus Karakoram Tip Lock Tip Clips and 3C Clips. The Ultralight Hovercraft is also now a unisex model with sizes to fit most riders.

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

Core
FSC™ Fusion Core: The new 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.We’ve 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.

Koroyd® Core: Koroyd sections in the nose and tail absorb chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood.

3D Contour Base 3.0: Freeride focused 3D-base contours featuring an even balance of 7mm of spoon bevel in the nose and 7mm of spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts at the rocker point.
Fiberglass
Fusion Carbon Construction: Multiple layers of aerospace grade carbon fiber are fused with the wood core and pressed with as little epoxy as possible. Fusion Carbon construction produces the most damp, durable and responsive board from Jones’ lineup.

Fiberglass Reinforcement: Fiberglass layer improve pop in nose and tail plus increases the longevity of the flex profile. This lightweight layer helps the board perform the same on day 100 as it did on day one - precise and playful.
Base
Ultra Base: New 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.
Edges
In. & Out. Traction Tech: Like serrated knife slicing into the snow, Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running legit of your board. The Traction Tech on the inner-edge improves splitboard edge grip on ascent to keep you locked in on icy skin tracks.

Progressive Sidecut: At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition.

Oversized Recycled Edges: All Jones boards are made with oversized recycled steel edges for added durability and improved production sustainability.
Topsheet
Ultralight Eco-Plastic Topsheet: Super damp, durable and lightweight topsheet material made from organic plant material.

Recycled Rounded ABS: New rounded sidewall finish that improves board durability by protecting topsheet from chipping.
Additional Details
Quick Tension Tail: Built-in climbing skin tension system using pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.

Bolt-Less Bridge: Eliminates split clip attachment hardware from the base of the board by re-profiling the wood core at the clips. The wood core under the clips is thicker providing better torsional stiffness and a more powerful connection at the split clips.

Karakoram Ultra Clips 3C with Tip-Lock: Karakoram Ultra Clips 3C featuring a three point tension system. Ultralight and exclusive to Jones, these clips are adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages. Clamps perpendicular, parallel and vertically to seam for tightest connection in splitboarding.

Karakoram Tip-Lock Tip Clips: Using Active Joining Technology, the Karakoram Tip-Lock Tip Clips quickly lock and clamp the tips of your splitboard with the flick of the lever.

Bio Resin: All Jones boards are now built with bio-based, renewable epoxy instead of petroleum based epoxy.

Wend Natural Wax: Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
