DESCRIPTION
Detailed description - Jones Tweaker snowboard
- The fun hoggin' freestyler. Ideal for freestyle trickery and all-mountain ripping.
- The new Tweaker is a freestyle focused true twin that’s built to pop ollies, toss tricks, and carve creative lines in any terrain.
- Can you believe it?! It’s not fake news. We are finally making the most popular snowboard shape of all time - a true freestyle twin! A buttery, freestyle focused, true twin may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Jones, but that’s exactly why we seized the opportunity to develop one. The Tweaker is the result of many years of questioning how we could reinvent such a classic shape and flex. The true twin is a shape that a lot of brands have done well, so we had no intention of producing a status quo rendition just to expand into that space.
- The Tweaker came to life because we found a truly unique shape, profile and feature set that brought something new to the table. This board is not your average true twin.
- What sets the Tweaker apart are the subtleties of the tip shape and tip rocker profile. The tips feature a double radius rocker profile that lifts the tip more at the very end. Combined with the heavily blunted tip shape, the Tweaker has more surface area and a longer running length than usual for a board it’s size. The extra volume and running length improve board stability and stomp-ability which is crucial for a board that has such a freestyle focused flex. This is a board that butters as well as it carves which is not something you can say about many boards of this style.
- A True Twin shape, buttery flex and True Camber profile give the Tweaker a playful, evenly balanced board feel, but don’t mistake the Tweaker for your average freestyle twin. The Tweaker’s unique double radius nose and tail profile maximise the running length of the blunted shape and offer amazing float, while the V-core profiling on the Tweaker’s Classic Core makes the flex softer between the feet for nimble maneuverability and stiffer in the tips for supreme stomp-ability. The Tweaker has Traction Tech 2.0 edges for added edge grip riding through rough snow, and the spooned nose and tail edges on the 3D Contour Base 3.0 reduce edge catch and make it easy to butter and board slide. Finished with a Sintered 8000 base and an Eco-plastic topsheet, the Tweaker is a durable and high performance modern manifestation of a timeless true twin snowboard shape.
Tech info
- Base - Sintered 8000 - new super durable material made from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and carbon. Base is easily repairable, highly wax absorbent and wicked fast.
- Wend Natural Wax - multi-axis, stitched fiberglass laminate that offers a precise and responsive ride in any terrain or snow conditions.
- Biax Fiberglass - a dual-direction, dual-layer, stitched fiberglass laminate that provides a fun, forgiving and snappy ride.
- Forever Flex - is a new manufacturing process that helps stabilise the flex and rocker of a board for its lifetime.
- Bio Resn - is a bio-based epoxy made with 27% plant-based carbon instead of petroleum-based carbon. The organicc 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
- Recycled ABS Sidewalls - ABS Plastic is one of the necessary evils of snowboard production. We improve the sustainability of our snowboards by using only recycled plastic.
- 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.
- Eco-plastic topsheet - Bio-plastic topsheet made from Castor beans. This eco-material is ultralight, chip/scratch resistant and water/snow repellent (snow sticks less to topsheet).
- V-core 3.0 - Jones exclusive wood core profiling that offers a stable and playful board feel. The wood core is softer between the feet for easy turn initiation and stiffer in the nose and tail for stability riding through uneven terrain and landing airs.
- Flex - 6/10
