2027 Jones Snowboards Lineup Overview

It's mostly business as usual for Jones for their 2027 line snowboards. There's a few updates and some new boards and some retirees, but nothing too extreme. 

It's their bindings line where things are a little more interesting, with the introduction of 2 new FASE models. 

New Jones Snowboards and Retiring Models 

* Tweaker/Tweaker Pro/Women's Tweaker are naturally replaced by Tweaker 2.0, Tweaker Pro 2.0 and Women's Tweaker. Mind Expander replaced by Mind Expander 2.0 and Mind Expander Twin replaced by Twin Craft.  

OK, with technically 7 new boards and 10 retiring, it feels like more change than I eluded to in the intro, for Jones '27 snowboard line. However, when you take out the Tweakers and Mind Expanders, which are like for like swaps, it's more like 2 in and 5 out. And for the purposes of this website, which doesn't focus on kid's/youth boards or split boards, the 2 in and 5 out are less relevant for us.

If you are in the market for a youth/kid's board or split board, then these changes are likely more relevant for you. 

Now, while the 5 snowboards that swap in and out are mostly just name changes, and only subtle name changes in 4/5 of them, they aren't purely just name changes - they have all been overhauled and while the general personality/purpose of each board remains the same, there have been pretty significant updates to all of them. 

See the section on "details of new boards" below to see what's changed for those 5 boards.   

New Jones Snowboard Bindings and Retiring Models 

Jones, as other manufacturers of FASE bindings are, expanded their FASE line from 1 to 3. The existing Mercury FASE returns and is accompanied by the Nebula FASE and Zenith FASE. 

Zooming right out, we can see that the Nebula is a softer flexing, more mellow FASE option and the Zenith is a stiff flexing FASE option - positioning themselves either side of the existing Mercury on the flex scale. 

For more details on the new FASE bindings, see the "new bindings details" section later on this page. 

Jones Snowboards 2027 Full Lineup By Category

The categories I place Jones's 2027 lineup in below is according to how we at SnowboardingProfiles.com categorize and not how Jones themselves categorize them. 

We have a neutral stance and are completely independent of any snowboard brand. So, our categories have nothing to do with marketing the boards. They are based purely on what we think the best use of each board is.

We have included a beginner category below as well, but note that all boards in the beginner category will also be included in one of the other categories (the category that the board is most relevant for, according to our categorization).  

JONES BEGINNER SNOWBOARDS

Jones do not currently have any snowboards in their lineup that we would consider to be beginner boards.  

JONES FREESTYLE SNOWBOARDS

Jones do not currently have any snowboards in their lineup that we would consider to be purely Freestyle boards.  Though you could certainly make a case for the Tweaker 2.0, Women's Tweaker 2.0 and Tweaker Pro 2.0 to be here. However, we felt they were better suited to the All-Mountain-Freestyle category.

JONES SNOWBOARD BINDINGS

Details of New Models

JONES introduced 5 new snowboards, 2 new split boards and 2 new bindings for the '27 line.

Since we don't review or specialize in split boards, we won't include info for them below, but we will for the 5 new boards and 2 bindings. 

Because the snowboards are all replacements (4 of the 5 even sharing a name but with a "2.0" added on) I thought it would be more useful to describe the differences between the new model and the model that they're replacing, rather than general specs. 

Note that we tested all 5 of the new snowboards and 1 (Nebula FASE) of the new bindings and will publish our full detailed reviews of those, as soon as we can.  

Jones Tweaker 2.0

 <> Drops size 146

Summary of Jones 2027 Snowboards Lineup Changes

Jones didn't make any brand-defining moves for their '27 lineup or anything. And, IMO, didn't need to.

They made significant updates to a number of snowboards and brought in two new FASE bindings models. 

The 2 FASE models - now give them a stiff flexing and soft flexing option that use FASE, through the Zenith and Nebula models - complimenting the existing mid to mid-stiff Mercury FASE. 

While we don't specialize in split-boards it's worth mentioning, given they have probably the largest number split-model options in the industry,  that they also dropped 3 split-boards and added 2 new ones.
