The 2026 Jones Frontier 2.0 is a friendly freeride board built for all-terrain versatility and fun. Redesigned for this season, it features a tapered directional shape, a mellow flex, and a directional camber/rocker profile that makes it incredibly approachable whether you're carving groomers, slashing powder, or exploring the trees.

Why we like it:

We like the Frontier 2.0 because it takes a lot of the high-performance shaping from Jones’s freeride lineup and pairs it with a flex and profile that’s easier to access for a wider range of riders. It floats beautifully, carves confidently, and remains smooth and predictable in just about any condition.

Who it's for:

The Frontier 2.0 is great for intermediate riders who want to explore off-trail terrain without jumping into a stiff, demanding freeride board. It’s also a solid option for advanced riders who want something a bit more playful and surfy for resort laps, powder days, and all-around cruising.

Highlights:

This board features a directional rocker profile with camber underfoot for grip and response, rocker in the nose for float, and a subtle tail kick for easy slashing. The updated shape includes a medium 3D Contour Base with a 3D Flip Tip for added float and smooth transitions. Medium Traction Tech along the edges boosts control in variable snow, and the Master Core keeps the board light and lively without sacrificing durability. A Sintered 8000 base maintains speed across all conditions, while a premium topsheet adds a smooth, damp feel.

Things to consider:

With a flex rating of 2/5, the Frontier 2.0 is softer and more playful than most freeride boards. Riders looking for high-speed stability or technical descent power might prefer something stiffer like the Flagship or Stratos.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Frontier 2.0 is available in a wide range of sizes from 150 to 167W. It rides true to size with a float-friendly directional shape, ideal for everyday resort versatility and powder days alike.
