Jones Mercury Men's Snowboard Binding

For freeriding creativity and versatile freestyle performance

Top freeride binding that will satisfy the demands of experienced riders. Whatever terrain you've got in front of you, you'll experience premium comfort, high responsiveness and a medium level of stiffness with the Jones Mercury binding. Thanks to special SKATETECH technology, energy is transferred directly to the edges of the board for responsiveness, aided by a sophisticated highback that provides great support as well as shock absorption. With more flexibility on the sides, you won't be pushed in the calf. Adjustable asymmetric straps then let you fine-tune the binding to suit whether you need freestyle freedom or firmness for sharp carving.

Features

• Comfort Foam Foot Pillow – A full-length EVA foam footbed that maximizes binding comfort while minimizing foot fatigue. The 3D molded surface of the footbed offers excellent traction for any boot tread pattern and prevents snow accumulation.
• Flushcup Technology - Relax your legs and feel the real surf vibe by riding without a highback on fresh powder days.
• Universal Mounting Disk – All Jones bindings include a mounting disk compatible with traditional 4x4, 4x2 inserts and the EST/Channel mounting system.
• Hanger 3.0 – New binding hanger design featuring a wider bushing footprint that's closer to the edges for enhanced board connection and faster energy transfer. The Hanger 3.0 is also lighter weight and has a lower inner lateral wall for better ankle mobility and high volume boot fit. Nylon reinforced with 30% fiberglass.
• Freeride Mode Bushings – This binding features hard bushings (Freeride Mode) for maximum board response.
• New Asym Buckles - Durable ratchets made from aerospace grade alloy with extra strong levers and springs. The ratchet design increases the speed of engagement and release.
• Tool-less strap adjustment – The length of the strap can be changed on the fly with a simple movement.
• 3D Flex Fit 2.5 Toe Straps - Bottom straps dynamically expand to adapt to any boot shape. The new minimalist design is even lower and just as comfortable, durable and responsive as the original design.
• Power Spine Ankle Straps - The new molded ankle straps are made up of two parts - a softer base for flexibility and comfort and a stiff center spine for great responsiveness. The straps are compatible with the Flip-It system (Freeride/Surf mode).
• Hinge Connector Strap Attachment – New hinge connectors keep the ankle strap out of the way when you want to tighten the binding and make buckle adjustment and quick fastening easier.

Skate Tech

The NOW Skate Tech system works like a skateboard truck and improves board control + reduces leg fatigue by transferring energy directly from the binding to the board's edges thanks to its dynamic construction.

• Hanger 3.0 – The Hanger pivots on the Kingpin like a lever, allowing lightning-fast energy transfer from edge to edge. A true baseless construction that delivers the most consistent board flex of any binding on the market. The new hanger is lighter than the previous generation. A blend of nylon and 30% fiberglass.
• Kingpin – The kingpin is the fulcrum on which the hanger rotates. The design increases energy transfer and improves board response through leverage.
• Post – The post attaches the hanger to the kingpin and is the connection between the binding and the board. 50% nylon, 50% fiberglass.
• Bushings – Bushings are the primary point of contact between binding and board and offer customizable response and damping (Surf and Freeride modes).
