Skate Tech: The technology that revolutionizes snowboard bindings

When we talk about progressing on a snowboard, we often think about lighter boards, more comfortable boots, or more durable materials. But what about bindings?
This is where Skate Tech comes in, a patented Jones innovation that is changing the way we feel every turn and every descent on the mountain.

What is Skate Tech?

Inspired by a skateboard truck , Skate Tech technology brings that same leverage and power principle to snowboarding.

• The “Hanger” (central support) acts as a lever.

• The “Kingpin” (pivot) functions as the fulcrum.

• Bushings absorb vibrations and transmit energy directly to the edges of the board.

Instead of losing power by bending the base of the binding, as with traditional bindings, Skate Tech channels your energy more directly, efficiently, and precisely to the edges.

Advantages of Skate Tech

🔹 More control on every turn

Thanks to the lever and fulcrum, the power transfer to the edges is immediate. This translates into more powerful and confident turns , even on hard snow or ice.

🔹 Less foot fatigue

By not having to tighten the straps or force your posture, your feet do less work. That means less pain, more comfort, and more hours of fatigue-free riding .

🔹 Vibration absorption

The bushings act as shock absorbers, reducing the board's vibration on uneven terrain. The result: a smoother, more stable, and fluid ride.

🔹 Natural board flex

Skate Tech allows for a more consistent flex, without any uncomfortable stiffness. This helps with both aggressive freeriding and creative freestyle .

Difference from traditional bindings

Who should use Skate Tech bindings?

• Freeriders who need maximum control on technical descents.

• All-mountain riders looking for comfort and versatility.

• Freestylers who value a binding that responds smoothly but without losing power transmission.

Bottom line: If you're looking for more power, control, and comfort , Skate Tech is the way to go.

Jones Models with Skate Tech

Some Jones bindings that integrate this technology are:

• Mercury → versatile, powerful and comfortable.

• Orion → medium flex, ideal for all-mountain and freestyle.

• Meteorite → friendlier and more playful, perfect for riders looking for fun without losing control.

Conclusion

Skate Tech isn't just marketing: it's a real innovation that changes the mountain experience. Less fatigue, more control, more comfort, and a more direct connection between rider, binding, and board.

If you're still using traditional bindings, this winter may be the time to take the plunge and discover how Skate Tech can transform the way you ride the snow.
