The high-spec Orion is aimed at freeriders who are looking for a comfortable and durable freeride binding but with more of a freestyle-friendly medium flex. Utilising the advanced SkateTech-equipped Hanger 3.0 Baseplate, the Orion still delivers lightning-fast edge-to-edge transition and rock-solid stability. Hence, this is a more playful binding with no downsides for when you want to charge around. Now, keeping with that optimum balance of performance and rider-friendly feel, the Orion features Jones’s innovative Progressive Flex Highback. Stiffer at the bottom, getting progressively softer towards the top, it delivers a precise yet playful binding feel, keeping in sync with the Orion’s overall performance. The advanced Comfort Ankle strap can be set up to customise the feel of the binding. If you want a more relaxed ride, set the straps and bushings to surf mode, want a more responsive, freeride feel, flip the straps over, fit a stiffer bushing, and have a more responsive binding.

TECHNOLOGY
Skate Tech
The components of the SkateTech design mimic the function of a skateboard truck. The “Hanger” acts as a lever that transfers energy input from the straps to the “Bushings” and onto the board edges. The “Kingpin” is the fulcrum for the “Hanger” and magnifies the energy transfer through leverage. Traditional bindings lose energy when the baseplate flexes and bends unevenly. The energy loss forces you to crank your straps tighter and ride with more forward lean to gain the
same control. Uneven pressure and tight straps lead to more foot fatigue and pain. By evenly pivoting over the “Post”, the middle of your board flexes more uniformly, and your energy inputs are focused directly on your edge. Your feet stay more relaxed and more comfortable because the bindings transfer power to the board with less work.
Hanger 3.0
The Hanger 3.0 binding hanger design features a broader bushing footprint closer to the edges for enhanced board connection and faster energy transfer. The Hanger 3.0 is lighter and has a lower inner lateral wall for better ankle mobility and a high-volume boot fit.
Comfort Foam Foot Pillow
Full-length EVA foam footbed that maximises binding comfort while minimising foot fatigue. The 3D moulded footbed surface offers supreme traction for any boot tread pattern and prevents snow build-up.
Freeride Mode Vs Surf Mode
Jones bindings offer customisable dampening and response by switching between Surf Mode
and Freeride Mode. Surf Mode lets you tweak harder, while Freeride Mode keeps you locked in
for maximum response. Switch modes by changing the bushings from soft (Surf Mode) to hard
(Freeride Mode) and adjusting the Flip-It ankle straps. The Flip-It strap allows you to interchange
the ankle straps between the left and right binding to create a custom response. Ride with the
ankle straps in Freeride mode for more lateral support and board response, or flip the straps
into Surf Mode for solid heel support but more ankle flexibility for getting loose.
Comfort Flex Ankle Strap
Comfort Flex Ankle Straps are 3D molded to evenly distribute pressure and eliminate strap bite plus asymmetric for a customisable response. Flip-It Strap compatible (Freeride mode + Surf mode).
3D Flex 2.0 Toe Straps
3D Flex-Fit 2.0 toe straps dynamically stretch to fit any shape boot. The new minimalist design is even lower profile and every bit as comfortable, durable and responsive as the original design.
Asym buckles
Bombproof buckles made from aircraft-grade alloy featuring ultra-strong levers and springs. Triple-action ratchet design increase the speed of entry and release.
4x4, 2x4, EST/Channel disc
All Jones bindings include a mounting disc compatible with traditional 4x4 inserts, 2x4, and EST/Channel mounting system.
Hinge Connector
The Hinge Connector design allows the straps to move out of the way when stepping in and out.
It is strong and durable and helps reduce strap damage and wear.
