The ultralight, technical objective splitboard
Ideal for high alpine expeditions and technical backcountry touring
The new Ultralight Butterfly Split is an ultralight split made for high alpine pursuits where the balance of weight and performance are hyper critical.
By drastically reducing the tip and tail size, but keeping the contact points pushed out, the Butterfly Split has the effective edge of a board 10 cm longer than its length. The long effective edge is matched with a true camber profile for maximum edge power in variable alpine conditions. For added float, quick edge-to-edge response and unmatched torsional board lock, the Butterfly Split features 15 mm of taper, a 3D Contour Base 3.0, Inner/Outer Traction Tech 3.0, the Boltless Bridge, Karakoram Tip Lock Tip Clips and Karakoram 3C Clips. The Ultralight Butterfly Split is also built with our new Ultralight construction including a new eco-topsheet and a wood core made with two layers of carbon and multiple sections of Koroyd that absorb chatter at a fraction of the weight of wood. The Ultralight Butterfly Split matches a revolutionary shape concept with cutting edge materials to become the key for pioneering riders to unlock game changing new lines in remote terrain.
The Butterfly is designed to be ridden 4-6 cm shorter than your standard freeride board.
True Camber
A traditional full camber profile that offers the insane edge response of camber without the usual hang-ups. The camber radius tapers into the beveled 3D Contour Base at the tips which releases the edges where they like to hook and balances the pop and directional stability of camber with a looser less-catchy feel.
Shape Tech
1. Inside & outside Traction Tech 3.0
Like a serrated knife slicing into the snow Traction Tech improves your edge grip by adding multiple contact points along the running length of your board.
Inner edge Traction Tech
Inner edge Traction Tech improves splitboard edge grip on ascent. Three sidecut bumps on each side of your binding keep your locked in on icy skin tracks no matter which way you are traversing.
2. 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.
3. Quick Tension Tail Clip
Built-in climbing skin tension system using pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.
4. Boltless Bridge
The Boltless 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.
Tapered shape 8 mm
The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.
Double Radius Tips
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.
About 3D Contour Bases
3D Contour Bases are designed to make every run smoother and every turn more effortless by reducing the drag of the board tips. 3D Contour Bases enhance glide and improve float helping you ride faster and with better flow.
Built with the finest tech and materials
100% of our adult models feature high-end materials construction technologies and sustainable manufacturing process. We accept no compromises in producing the most durable and sustainable snowboarding gear.
Base
Ultra Base
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. We’ve also doubled the amount of wax and mixed multiple wax types for a faster factory wax in a wider range of conditions.
Wend Natural Wax
Jones boards are ready to shred straight out of the shop and are factory waxed with WEND natural wax.
Construction
Fusion Carbon
This cutting edge board lay-up process is the latest evolution of our previous Fusion Tech construction and reduces board weight and improves durability by combining board materials in two stages.
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.
KoroydNEW
Koroyd is the lightest most advanced damping core material we've ever tested. Koroyd absorbs vibrations and adds response at a fraction of the weight which enhances control and confidence.
Extra hardware
Karakoram Ultra clips 3C with Tip-LockNEW
All new Karakoram Ultra Clips 3C featuring a three point tension system. Ultralight and exclusive to Jones these clips redefine split clip technology. They are also adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.
Other features
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.
Inner thin recycled edges
Advancement in ski edge durability allow us to use thinner edges on splitboard inside edges to save weight. Outside edges are 2mm inside edges are 1.5mm.
Outer oversized recycled edges
Advancement in ski edge durability allow us to use thinner edges on splitboard inside edges to save weight. Outside edges are 2mm inside edges are 1.5mm.
Stainless steel reinforcement
Stainless steel plates are embedded into the nose and tail for improved board tip durability.
Recycled rounded ABS
Rounded sidewall finish that improves board durability by protecting topsheet from chipping.
Forever Flex
Forever Flex is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.
Bio Resin
Bio Resin is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organic raw materials used to make bio-resin are co-products or waste products of plant-based industrial processes. Bio-resin requires 33% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than conventional epoxy.
Topsheet
Ultralight Eco-Plastic Topsheet
Super damp durable and lightweight topsheet material made from organic plant material.
Woodcore
Fusion Core
The new Fusion Core is our lightest wood core yet. Core is made from mostly paulownia with specifically positioned pockets of poplar for improved durability and response.
Sizing Details
Choose your ideal board size range using your body weight and boot size.
To decide between two sizes choose the smaller size if your priority is maneuverability and freestyle performance choose the larger size if you're focused on riding fast and powder performance. A shorter board will be easier to turn and a longer board will offer better float and stability riding off-piste.
