The Jones Mercury is a powerful, versatile freeride binding for riders who want response without giving up comfort. Its medium-stiff flex delivers precise, energetic control for creative freeriding and all-terrain freestyle, staying nimble enough to play around on. A supportive highback and canted footbed keep you locked in and comfortable through long days on the hill. Maneuverable, responsive, and easygoing to live with, it's a do-everything freeride binding with a freestyle streak.

Why we like it:

We like that it does it all, since the medium-stiff flex is responsive enough to drive a hard carve yet maneuverable enough to stay playful.

Who it's for:

It's for expert freestyle-minded freeriders who want a responsive, comfortable binding that can do a bit of everything. Riders mixing carves, side hits, and all-terrain laps will love its blend of power and playfulness.

Highlights:

A medium-stiff flex sets the Mercury's tone, balancing precise response with maneuverability across the mountain. A Control Flex highback supplies solid support, Power Spine ankle straps and a matching 3D Flex Fit toe strap lock the boot in, and a 3-degree canted foot pillow keeps the stance comfortable. Skate Tech sharpens energy transfer underfoot, with the Flip-It strap switching between Freeride and Surf modes.

Things to consider:

The medium-stiff flex leans toward response and support, so the most playful park riders may find it firmer than they like. It's tuned for all-terrain freeride more than dedicated jib sessions.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Go by your boot size in the three men's sizes; the L is built for 10.5 and up while S and M handle the smaller ranges. The mounting disk works with EST/Channel, 2x4, and 4x4 systems.
