Made from Aluminium alloy these poles are more than light enough for racing while the alloy mix ensures they retain plenty of internal strength. Small pole baskets and tacky race grips further enhance the race competence of these high-quality poles.
The explorer is the easiest going board in the Jones range and is aimed at riders who are looking for a softer and more forgiving freeride focused board, without that all or nothing feel of, say, a Flagship. Built around a fully directional shape it features Jones's freeride inspired Directional Rocker profile. This blends a longer rocker zone in the nose with a dynamic setback camber under the feet and short rocker in the tail to give effortless powder riding, but also giving the board a really solid and responsive ride when hitting the piste. But Jones has also been clever with this board. Instead of following the norm and adding a really stiff tail as you would expect on such a freeride focussed board, they've actually gone completely the other way, and have given the explorer a softer more freestyle inspired flex. This takes a lot of aggression out of the board and gives it a more playful and forgiving overall feel without sacrificing any big mountain performance, ensuring that the explorer really can be ridden by anybody.‡ For this season Jones has taken the opportunity to give the explorer a complete makeover and this is nowhere more obvious than in the new Magne Traction edge profile. This features mellow bumps in the sidecut under both feet and in the centre which creates additional bite points in the edge, improving edge hold and stability. Internally it's also all new and heading this up is high quality Slovenian poplar core. This delivers the perfect balance of stiffness and durability and works in perfect harmony with the boards easy-going Bi-Ax glass structural layers to give the explorer a more friendly and refined ride. Finally, the upgraded 7000 sintered base delivers great performance across a wide range of snow conditions.SizeNose WidthWaist WidthTail WidthSidecut RadiusRider weight156cm29.525.229.57.354-77kg159cm29.825.429.87.564-86kg162cm3025.6307.973-95kg158cmW30.526.230.57.564-86kg161cmW30.826.430.87.767-91kg164cmW3126.6318.177-100+kg
Sharing much of its DNA with the acclaimed Goliath, the all-terrain Whatever blends the playful nature of the very best freestyle boards with the go-anywhere versatility of a freeride board. Aimed squarely at anyone who is looking for an easy-going, all terrain ride, this versatile wonder opens up the whole mountain. With a slightly softer flex and an almost twin shape, the Whatever ticks all the boxes for the freestyle rider. However, by adding an extra bit of volume in the nose it liberates itself from the park and delivers great performance wherever you take it. Although the Whatever is easy to ride; thanks to its full-length dynamic camber it doesn't compromise pop or power ensuring that it still delivers great performance when cruising the piste or generally blasting around the mountain. As with the Goliath, the Whatever utilises Bataleon's freestyle 3BT profile. This splits the side base upturns and flat centre sections at the tip and tail into 3 equal parts. This creates a versatile profile that gives improved edge hold and bite, increased float in deep snow and a more playful hook freeride, in other words the perfect characteristics for riding every type of terrain. Internally the Whatever uses the same advanced Reactor wood core as used in the Goliath. This poppy and responsive poplar core adds beech stringers along the edges, not only beefing up the sidewalls but also delivering extra power through the turn. In addition, Bataleon also place carbon/kevlar inserts between the bindings adding an extra layer of pop without compromising the playful and buttery feel. Now to give the Whatever its trademark playful ride, the structural layers are formed from a torsionally softer Bi-Ax glass. Finally the Super Slick X base material is one of the highest molecular weight none-sintered base's available giving you a superfast glide and increased durability but with the low maintenance and easy repair characteristics that you only get with extruded bases.For 2017 the Whatever is available as board only or packaged with the matching Switchback Forever binding.
