2021 Jones Snowboards Overview

Last Updated by 16 Comments

2021 Jones Snowboards

Below is a quick overview of the 2021 Jones snowboards lineup.

First I will take a look at any new boards for the 2020-21 season, and any old 2019-20 boards that aren't getting a 2021 model. 

Then I'll look at each board and put them into the categories where I see them fitting best.  

2021 Jones Snowboards

New 2021 Jones Snowboards

The new boards for 2020-21 are: 

  • Jones Stratos - This was a limited release in 2020, but essentially new for 2021.  
  • Jones Youth Flagship - New youth version of the Flagship
  • Jones Youth Solution - New youth version of the Solution
  • Jones Ultra Solution - This is the renamed Carbon Solution, but there have been some significant changes for this one. Both the Solution and Ultra Solution have taken on the shape changes that the Flagship and Carbon Flagship got in 2020 (the Solution and Ultra Solution being the split versions of the Flagship and Ultra Flagship, but were just one year delayed with the shape changes). 
  • Jones Ultra Flagship - This one is pretty much just a name change - the Jones Carbon Flagship (which had a 2020 model) renamed. It now has "float pack" inserts, like the Flagship got, but otherwise the same as far as I can tell  

Exiting 2020 Jones Snowboards 

The 2020 boards that aren't returning with a 2021 model: 

  • Jones Carbon Flagship - but essentially still there, just renamed the Ultra Flagship now, to be in line with their other naming (e.g. Ultracraft, Ultra Mountain Twin)
  • Jones Carbon Solution - Now renamed Ultra Solution with some significant changes (see above) 
  • Jones Discovery - the Discovery drops out but is replaced by the Youth Flagship 
  • Jones Discovery Split - the Discovery Split drops out but is replaced by the Youth Solution - so there is still a Youth split board in the line 

All 2021 Jones Snowboards by Category

I have categorized Jones's 2020-21 collection below. This is according to the categories here at SnowboardingProfiles.com and not necessarily the same as how Jones categorizes them.

Of course these are only broad categories as every board is different, but this is a rough guide. 

As you'll see below, Jones is really focused on the more freeride end of the scale. Lots of freeride, powder and split boards on offer. 

JONES BEGINNER SNOWBOARDS

As was the case for 2020, and previous years, Jones don’t really do beginner boards, IMO.

JONES PARK/FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS

There aren’t any boards in the Jones lineup that fit this category, IMO.

JONES ALL-MOUNTAIN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS

You could certainly argue that the Men's Mountain Twin and Women's Twin Sister fit in this category, but I see them fitting in the all-mountain category more succinctly. Otherwise there aren't any other Jones boards that might fit this category, IMO. 

JONES AGGRESSIVE ALL-MTN-FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS

You could argue that the Ultra Mountain Twin fits here, but, IMO, it fits best in the aggressive all-mountain category. Otherwise there aren't any other Jones boards that might fit this category, IMO.

  • Jones Youth Solution (splitboard) (comes in 137, 142, 147) | NEW for 2021

Summary

So there you have the 2021 Jones snowboards. 

As a side note, it's nice to see some more details in Jones' catalog in terms of specs. They're now publishing:

  • Both Contact Length and Effective Edge (where previously they just published effective edge)
  • Tip and tail width (previously didn't show this - but did show tip and tail length, which they still do - good to see them publishing both)

They now publish more specs than the averge brand, which is good to see. 

New Models and Changes

There are a couple of new models (Stratos, Youth Flagship, Youth Solution) and a couple of exits (Discovery & Discovery Split) for 2021. With the Youth Flagship & Youth Solution taking place of the Discovery and Discovery split for the youth boards. The Stratos is a pure addition. 

The Carbon Flagship and Carbon Solution have been renamed Ultra Flagship and Ultra Solution, with the latter undergoing significant changes - the same changes that the Flagship and Carbon Flagship (now Ultra Flagship) got for the 2020 model. 

The Mountain Twin and Ultra Mountain Twin both got tweaked too, with the most significant changes being the 3D Base Contour. Their shapes, including effective edge got tweaked as well.

Testing and Reviews 

I had the privilege to test some 2021 Jones boards (including the new Stratos and the tweaked Mountain Twin and Ultra Mountain Twin) and I'll release my reviews for those through the year.
