Jones Stratos

Description

The new Stratos is a hybrid all-mountain board built with the body of a directional freeride board and the spirit of a freestyle board.

The Stratos has a playful board feel thanks to a narrow sidecut and friendly flex, but the 10mm of taper and 3D Contour Base 3.0 give it the float and turn performance of a pow board. The directional rocker profile and Traction Tech 3.0 keep the Stratos locked on edge accelerating into carves and the textured Eco-plastic topsheet and Basalt stringers add torsional response and reduce board chatter in rough terrain. The Stratos also features our new Float Pack inserts. The Float Pack offers a setback stance option for the deepest days. For improved sustainability, the Stratos is built with Bio Resin instead of standard petroleum-based epoxy and an Ultra wood core.

Board Personality:

Freestyle / Park: 3/5
Deep Powder: 4/5
Slow Speed Slashing: 4/5
High Speed Carving: 3/5
Steeps / Technical: 2/5
Icy Edging: 3/5

Flex:  7/10 (Playful)

S+W Verdict:

“An interesting hybrid board that could be a perfect fit if you want a slightly softer and more playful feeling directional freeride shape.”
