Jones Frontier 2.0 Splitboard

The Jones Frontier 2.0 Splitboard is a forgiving directional board for riders bringing their resort freeride experience into the backcountry. Its Freeride CamRock profile combines camber underfoot with extended nose rocker for powder float and grip on firm snow. At 156 cm, the board has 298-252-293 mm dimensions, a 7.6 m sidecut radius and 5 mm of taper. A dual-density paulownia and poplar core with biax fiberglass gives it a mid-soft flex, with a listed weight of 3,100 g per board in that size.

Why We Like It

  • Freeride CamRock combines camber underfoot with extended nose rocker and shorter tail rocker, balancing soft-snow float with grip on firm traverses and skin tracks.
  • Five millimeters of taper and a mid-soft flex make the Frontier 2.0 predictable and approachable while you learn to read backcountry snow.
  • Six sizes offer standard and wide waist options. The 159 has a 25.5 cm waist, while the similarly sized 161W has a 26.7 cm waist for additional boot clearance.
  • A dual-density core with a 2:1 paulownia-to-poplar stringer ratio balances damping and weight. The Sintered 8000 base retains wax for glide on long, flat exits.

Best Uses

  • First seasons of splitboarding
  • Powder days and tree riding
  • Lower-angle terrain and exploratory tours
  • Riders who want a forgiving board to progress on
  • A range of rider weights, with size-specific guidance in the specifications below

Splitboard Selection Advice

Choose a Frontier 2.0 size using both rider weight and boot size, rather than board length alone. The standard-width 156, 159 and 162 have waist widths of 25.2, 25.5 and 25.8 cm. The wide 158W, 161W and 164W measure 26.5, 26.7 and 26.9 cm, respectively. Compare the size-specific boot guidance below and check boot overhang with your intended stance and binding angles.

The reference stance is 56.0 cm on the 156 and 58.0 cm on all other sizes, with 2 cm of setback throughout. Skins are sold separately: the 156, 159 and 162 use pre-cut skin group B, while the 158W, 161W and 164W use group G. Confirm the correct skin group before purchasing.

Compare the Jones Frontier 2.0

Frontier 2.0 vs. Jones Howler Splitboard

These boards suit different riding styles. The Jones Howler Splitboard uses full tip-to-tail camber and a mid-stiff flex for steep, technical descents.

Frontier 2.0 vs. Weston Backwoods Splitboard

Both are freeride splitboards with rockered noses, but their taper differs. The Weston Backwoods Splitboard has 18 mm of taper compared with the Frontier's 5 mm, encouraging more tail sink in deep snow. The Frontier 2.0 favors a balanced, forgiving feel in mixed conditions.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Jones Frontier 2.0 Splitboard?
The Frontier 2.0 suits riders in their first seasons of splitboarding who want a forgiving, easy-turning board for powder and backcountry exploration. Its mid-soft flex, camber underfoot and extended nose rocker make it approachable on lower-angle terrain and in trees. The 156 cm size weighs 3,100 g per board.
What bindings and skins work with the Jones Frontier 2.0 Splitboard?
The Frontier 2.0 requires a splitboard-specific binding setup that transitions between touring and riding modes. Standard solid-board snowboard bindings are not compatible on their own. The board is sold separately from bindings, binding-interface hardware and skins. For pre-cut skins, the 156, 159 and 162 use group B, while the 158W, 161W and 164W use group G. A notched tail accepts tail-clip skins. Confirm your binding system's mounting compatibility before installation.
Do the wide sizes just mean a bigger board?
No. Wide sizes provide additional waist width for boot clearance without requiring a much longer board. For example, the 158W has a 26.5 cm waist compared with the 159's 25.5 cm waist. Both weigh 3,200 g and have a listed rider weight range of 140 to 190 lbs. Choose using both rider weight and boot fit, and check overhang with your stance and binding angles.
Is the Jones Frontier 2.0 Splitboard suitable for an expert rider?
It depends on the terrain and riding style. The Frontier 2.0's 5/10 flex favors forgiveness rather than high-speed composure. Experts riding steep, firm lines may prefer the stiffer Howler or Solution. For powder days and lower-angle tours, the Frontier remains an approachable option for experienced riders.
How much does the Jones Frontier 2.0 Splitboard weigh?
The Frontier 2.0 weighs 3,100 g per board at 156 cm, 3,200 g at 158W and 159 cm, 3,300 g at 161W and 162 cm, and 3,600 g at 164W. Always compare weights for the specific board size you are considering.
What are Karakoram Ultra Clips 1.0 and how do they differ from 2.0?
The Frontier 2.0 uses Karakoram Ultra Clips 1.0 to join the board's two halves at the seam. Their adjustable compression can be re-tensioned over time. The Ultra Clips 2.0 found on the Howler are lighter, have a smaller footprint and provide tighter clamping.

Our Verdict

The Jones Frontier 2.0 Splitboard is an approachable first splitboard for riders bringing resort freeride experience into the backcountry. Its directional shape, 5 mm of taper and Freeride CamRock profile balance easy turns, powder float and firm-snow grip. The paulownia and poplar core with biax fiberglass favors a forgiving feel over outright power. Choose among the six sizes by considering both rider weight and boot clearance, with standard and wide options available.
