The Ultralight Butterfly Split is an ultralight split with a compact shape that's made for high alpine pursuits where the balance of weight and performance are hyper critical. By reducing the tip and tail size, but keeping the contact points pushed out, the Butterfly Split has a super long effective edge which maximizes edge power in variable alpine conditions.
Flex: 8/10
Shape: Directional Freeride - Directional shapes that maximize float, speed and response for supreme freeride performance and all-mountain versatility.
Low Taper - The tapered shape sinks the tail in pow for better float and quicker turns.
Bend: True High-Camber - A full camber profile that delivers exceptional edge response without the usual hang-ups. Designed specifically for groomers and piste-to-park riding, it offers unmatched pop and edge grip. Tip-to-tail full camber profile with 6 mm or more of camber between the bindings for supreme snap, pop and edge hold.
Sidecut: Progressive - 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.
Core: Fusion Core - High tech wood core crafted from select Paulownia with pockets of Poplar along the sidecut for added edge durability. Designed for Jones Ultralight models, it’s our lightest core ever and offers a perfect strength-to-weight ratio.
Koroyd - Developed from aerospace technology, award winning Koroyd synthetic core material is the lightest core dampening material we’ve ever tested. It absorbs vibrations and reduces tip swing weight, enabling quicker, smoother turns.
Fibreglass: Fusion Carbon - Ultralight Jones exclusive tip-to-tail carbon fiber and fiberglass construction that’s engineered to reduce weight without sacrificing performance and response.
Base: Ultra Base - Jones exclusive sintered base material with carbon additives for industry leading speed and wax absorption. Infused with multiple wax types for supreme glide in warm, wet and variable snow. Made in Austria.
EXTRAS
Ultra Carbon Construction - Ultralight Carbon is a state-of-the-art construction that minimizes weight without compromising performance. Featuring an ultra-fast base, tip to-tail carbon fiber and Triax fiberglass, plus Koroyd in the wood core, it delivers exceptional durability and response for its weight.
Medium Contour Base - 3D Contour Base tuned for all-terrain featuring 4mm spoon bevel in the nose and 0 to 4mm spoon bevel in the tail. Spoon bevel starts just before contact point.
High Traction Tech - 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 improves splitboard edge grip on ascent. Three side cut “bumps” on each side of your bindings keep you locked in on icy skin tracks no matter which way you are traversing.
Quick Tension Tail Clip - Built-in climbing skin tension system using pre-cut notch that eliminates the need for a traditional skin tail clip.
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.
Karakoram Ultra Clips 3C - Karakoram Ultra Clips 3C feature an ultralight and durable three-point tension system. They are adjustable so you can maintain even compression as your splitboard ages.
Ultralight Eco Topsheet - Ultralight version of our castor bean sourced, bio-plastic topsheet that’s engineered to be extremely durable and scratch resistant while minimizing environmental impact.
Recycled ABS - Recycled ABS sidewalls with a rounded finish that are engineered to enhance durability by reducing topsheet chipping and impact damage.
Recycled Edges - Bombproof steel edges made from recycled German steel, engineered for maximum strength and long-lasting durability.
Wend Natural Wax - All Jones snowboards come factory waxed with WEND natural wax so they’re ready to shred straight out of the shop
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.
