The Jones Mercury Snowboard Bindings blur the line between freeride and freestyle bindings. With a medium 6 out of 10 flex, you have just the right amount of stiffness to power through any all-mountain terrain and conditions while giving you the playfulness that is needed for progressive park riding. A full-length EVA foam footbed that maximizes binding comfort while minimizing foot fatigue. The 3D molded footbed surface offers supreme traction for any boot tread pattern and prevents snow build-up. A 3.0 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 and is Nylon reinforced with 30% fiberglass. A Progressive Flex Highback is designed for both precise and playful response. Great for carving the groomers regular or switch, or tweaking airs in the park. What makes the binding special is that you have two riding modes to choose from- Freeride Mode – Position the wide half of the strap above the buckle for more lateral support and board response. Use Hard Bushings for maximum response. Or a Surf Mode position with the wide half of the strap below the buckle for solid heel support but more ankle flexibility for getting loose. Use Soft Bushings for a looser, more dynamic surf feel. Whatever you choose, you have the proper tool to tackle the mountain like a Greek God and make all other Nay Sayers bow down to boots.
