Jones Tweaker Review

The Jones Tweaker is a fun, loose-ish playful ride that prefers moderate speeds to high speeds and favors maneuverability over stability.

It can rip short, quick turns at slower speeds with the best of them, has super easy to access pop and a very low-consequence, low-catch risk feel to it.  Making it great for trying new things with confidence. 

In this review, I will take a look at the Tweaker as an all-mountain-freestyle snowboard.

As per tradition here at SnowboardingProfiles.com I will give the Tweaker a score out of 100 (based on several factors) and see how it compares with other all-mountain-freestyle snowboards.

Who is the Tweaker Most Suited To?

The Tweaker is best suited to those who want a versatile board that is more freestyle inclined than anything else and is on the playful side, without being a full-on noodle or more specialized park board. 

Could make a good one-board quiver for someone who doesn't often see deep powder or overly icy conditions a lot and wants a more playful, on the loose side kind of a ride. Or a good companion in a quiver with a more powder specialized board and/or a more aggressive all-mountain ride.

As a quiver compliment, it could be the board you'd take out when riding with less skilled riders, so you can practice some create ground-tricks as you join them down easier slopes or days when you want to be in the trees, but there's no deep powder. Or could be used as your park/freestyle board in general for finding side-hits and smaller features in the park. 

While I did find the Tweaker a very easy going board, it's still not something I'd recommend for most beginners. Mostly, because it does have a looser feel and is likely harder to control than a more stable board for those starting out. 

TEST/REVIEW DetailS FOR THE Tweaker

O.k. let’s take a more detailed look at what the Tweaker is capable of.

Demo Info

Board: Jones Tweaker 2026, 156cm (254mm waist width)

Date: February 21, 2025

Carving

II found it carves OK when I didn't push it too hard, but the edge washed out fairly easily when I tried to really lean it over, especially at higher speeds. 

Turning

Ease of Turning/Slashing: Was super easy to initiate turns on and it slashed effortlessly. effortlessly. 

Maneuverability at slow speeds: It was a really quick turner at slow speeds and required very little effort to get it whipping from edge-to-edge. 

Catchiness: Very little catch risk. I felt the slightest bit of catch in the tail, but only when I was really looking for it. While it's a full camber profile it also has lifted edges (Jones' Medium 3D Contour base) and I always find that a softer torsional flex, which the Tweaker has, helps to make a board more catch-free. 

Speed

It's not super stable at speed. It can handle a moderately fast speeds OK, but gets pretty pretty wobbly at speeds faster than that. Expected with a softer flexing board like this. 

Uneven Terrain

Crud/Chunder: Again, not super stable and gets bucked around fairly easily. Not a complete noodle or anything, but also not super solid in rough snow. It is easy to make corrections when you do get thrown off your line though.

Trees/Bumps: I found this board super fun in the trees. Just so easy to do quick, sharp turns on this board. In the small pockets of powder I had it felt good, but wouldn't be amazing in deeper powder, I wouldn't imagine. 

Powder

There was some around on the day, but nothing super deep. It did fine in what we had and based on feel and specs it wouldn't be a complete submarine in deeper powder or anything, I wouldn't think. But will still be something that you'll have to work your back leg hard with to keep it floating above pow, when it's deeper. 

It does have that 3D contour base, which is the main reason it wouldn't be a full on diver, but there's not much else going for it for powder being a centered, true twin, full camber board.  

Jumps

For smaller jumps and side-hits, I found the Tweaker super fun, but had its limits when getting more air. 

Pop: I found the Tweaker's pop super easy to access - just really effortless. Not a ton of total pop - but not bad either. But most of what you could get was gotten easily - when you put in more effort to wind it up, there was only a touch more to get. But what you did get easily was pretty decent, so really fun and didn't have to work for it. 

Approach: Super easy to make adjustments to speed and line when approaching jumps and side-hits, etc, but not super stable, especially when needing more speed for bigger air.

Landing:  I found it nice and forgiving when my landings were off, but landing from bigger air wasn't as solid as I'd like it to be, when I landed a little off. Lots of flex in the tip/tail. But that wasn't an issue off smaller jumps/side-hits, so really zero complaints for smaller air - and super fun for that. Just not as good for bigger air. 

Switch

Felt really good riding the Tweaker switch. And transitions were really easy and very low catch-risk. . 

Spins

Spins were easy to setup and that easy to access pop meant getting the needed air time was nice and easy and you didn't have to focus too much on winding it up to get that air. Of course this is less important when doing big tricks, but for getting enough air to get your rotations around when doing flat land spins or spins off small jumps or side-hits, I really like this quality. 

I found it did have a bit of over-spin after landing but on the flip side easy to complete a rotation on the ground for under rotations - to a point that slightly under-rotating on purpose helped to account for the over-spin to ride out straight. 

Jibbing

I really liked the Tweaker for jibs. It was easy to maneuver and speed check on approach, easy pop to pop onto and off features and a nice amount of flex, Being very low catch is also something I like for rails. I'm not a strong jibber, by any means, but I felt confident hitting the easy boxes/rails on this board. 

Butters

I found it super easy to press the tip and tail on this board. Not the flexiest tip/tail ever or anything, but still really easy to flex but not easy that it was easy to over-flex. While it wasn't super easy to keep it locked in, you could and rotating the butter was nice and easy and low-catch risk. 

Score Breakdown and Final Verdict

Check out the breakdown of the score in the table below.

The Tweaker is a playful all-mountain freestyle board that allows you to get creative with a low-consequence easy going feel.

It's not a hard carver or overly stable when things get fast or rough, but it's certainly not completely hopeless there. However, it excels more at more moderate speeds, making tight turns, buttering around, spinning, and super fun for getting moderate air and weaving through trees.
