For 22/23 the Airheart has undergone a complete transformation, transforming what was a great all terrain board into probably one of the best performance ride-anything women's boards on the market. Stepping back a little bit from the freeride direction of the majority of the Jones range, the Airheart 2.0 takes a more freestyle-focused approach to all-terrain snowboarding without compromising the freeride ethos of the Jones brand. This ensures that the Airheart 2.0 is equally happy charging around the resort as it is lapping kicker lines in the park. Jam-packed with some of the most advanced design and technology currently available, the Airheart 2.0 gives you all the performance you could ever need. Built around a directional twin shape and featuring a combination of traditional camber and Jones 3D Base Contour 2.0, this board delivers true all-mountain versatility. However, when you match that ride anything shape with the Airheart 2.0's state of the art construction, the magic really begins to happen. This board comes alive and delivers a level of pop, response and control that has to be ridden to be believed.
Rider Style
Experienced riders who want the balance of a freestyle board with the power and response of a big mountain charger to take on absolutely everything on the mountain.
Shape Overview
This Airheart 2.0 all-new state of the art blunt-tipped directional twin shape has been specially designed to deliver a responsive and dynamic ride across the whole mountain without sacrificing that balanced feel that you only get with a more freestyle focused board. To this, Jones then add their state of the art Traction Tech 3.5 sidecut, which places 3 small bumps along the edges creating additional bite points (1). These bumps work like the serrations on a bread knife, increasing edge hold without sacrificing slow speed stability. At the far ends of the sidecut, the radius is incrementally increased as the edge reaches the contact point. Gradually increasing the sidecut radius towards the contact point delivers smoother turn initiation and exit as the edge tracks in and out of the snow with a less abrupt transition (2).
Profile
True Camber: The Airheart’s True Camber profile is a traditional full camber profile that offers the insane edge response of camber without the usual hang-ups. The camber radius tapers into the bevelled 3D Contour Base at the tips, which releases the edges where they like to hook and balances the pop and directional stability of camber with a looser, less-catchy feel.
3D Contour Base 2.0
One of the key ingredients to the Airheart 2.0’s versatility is the innovative 3D Contour 2.0 base profile. This state of the art base shape features an even balance of 4mm spoon bevel in the nose and 4mm spoon bevel in the tail. This delivers three distinct benefits to the rider, the first of these is that it creates a smoother transition from edge to edge. Secondly it lifts those contact points clear of the snow creating a smooth, buttery freestyle feel, and finally, it helps channel snow flow down under the board creating additional lift in the pow.
Construction
The Airheart 2.0 utilises some of the most advanced snowboard construction available to deliver its stunning ride. Heading up this advanced build is the state of the art Koroyd Power core. Using the high-performance Power Core as it's starting point, Jones then add Koroyd Zones into both the tip and tail. This combination of poplar, Bamboo and Paulownia, with the featherweight Koroyd zones creates a core that is super lightweight yet powerful and durable. This is then combined with powerful structural layers which blend tri-ax glass fibre with advanced Carbon/Innegra reinforcing and Flax/Basalt stringers. This unique combination of materials ideally suit snowboard construction they adding strength and durability to the board while giving unrivalled shock absorption. This ensures that the new Airheart 2.0 not only delivers stunning performance, but it still feels smooth and progressive to ride.
Base
Underlining the Airheart 2.0’s high-performance credentials, is the super-fast and super tough 8000 sintered base. This high-end base material is made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene and Carbon.
