Test: Jones Solution Split
The champion of splitboards is back and reconfirms itself as one of the best ways to explore the zero-impact backcountry.
Words would not be needed to describe the Solution, which is now the splitboard par excellence, but we said: why deprive ourselves of the joy of seeing once again how much this board is the best that a guy could wish for in backcountry exploration? The shape of the Solution is perfectly balanced and gives a unique riding experience, with a disarming ease of control for the type of board and a liveliness of pop that is rarely found in split boards. The 3D Contour Base combined with the directional rocker make floating easy and intuitive, leaving only the joy of the experience to enjoy. It is surprising also on hardpack, where it is stable and rather agile, also thanks to the Traction Tech, considering that we are always talking about a board held together by hooks and not about an all mountain model. The Sintered 9900 Base is really fast, and by joining forces with the Ultra Core, it offers remarkable power. Obviously, eco-sustainability is an important aspect for Jeremy and in fact also the Solution, which is the symbol of sustainable snowboarding. It is made with sustainable materials and technologies, starting from the core and ending with the eco-plastic topsheet.
We Like: Its ease of control and the simple and fun floatation. The Sintered 9900 base that makes you fly at the speed of light.
