The friendly all-mountain binding
Ideal for all-terrain cruising, freestyle and surf slashing
The Meteorite binding is made for the all-mountain rider that wants a stable and comfortable binding with a tweak-able medium-soft flex. The Meteorite delivers precise response thanks to SkateTech technology that transfers energy directly to your edges and a Dynamic Flex highback that's stiff in the center for solid support and softer on the sides for friendly maneuverability.
KEY BENEFITS
- Mid-soft flex for playful feel and maneuverability
- SkateTech for ultimate energy transfer
- Dynamic Flex highback for tweak-able control
FEATURES
Universal Mounting Disk: All Jones bindings are compatible with any brand snowboard. They come with a universal mounting disk that works with 4x4, 2x4 and EST/ Channel mounting systems.
Hanger 2.0: Hanger pivots on the Kingpin like a lever allowing lightning fast edge-to-edge energy transfer. True baseless design that delivers the most even board flex of any binding on the market. Nylon reinforced with 30% fiberglass
Dynamic Flex Highback: Designed for playful response and flex. Mid-wide profile and friendly, ergonomic flex helps you turn, tweak and slash.
Power Ankle Straps: Power Ankle Straps are made of durable molded ABS and are wide + asymmetric for enhanced comfort and adjustable response. Flip-It Strap compatible (Freeride mode + Surf mode).
ZyTech Buckles: Ultra-strong levels made out of Zytel Fiber Composite material with strong stainless steel springs and axis. Triple action ratchet increase speed of entry.
Tool-less Strap Adjustment: Change strap length on the fly with just a flick and twist of your wrist.
Hinge Connector Strap Attachment: Hinge Connectors keep your ankle strap out of the way when you step in to strap in, and the new Curved Ladders make it easy to line up the buckle and quickly ratchet down.
Pre-curved Ladders: The new Curved Ladders make it easy to line up the buckle and quickly ratchet down.
SkateTech
The NOW Skate Tech system works like a skateboard truck and enhances board control + reduces foot fatigue by transferring energy input directly from the binding to the board edges through a dynamic design.
- Hanger 2.0 & 3.0: Hanger pivots on the kingpin like a lever, allowing lightning fast edge-to-edge energy transfer. True baseless design that delivers the most even board flex of any binding on the market.
- Kingpin: The kingpin is the fulcrum that the hanger pivots on. Design magnifies energy transfer and enhances board response through leverage.
- Post: The post attaches the hanger to the kingpin and is the connection between binding and board.
- Bushings: Bushings are the primary binding contact point and offer customizable response and dampening (Surf mode vs Freeride mode).
Riding Flat: Skate Tech bindings feature a built-in dampening system for ultimate control bombing flat on your base. The baseplate rests on rubber bushings that absorb vibrations as you ride over rough snow. The binding also follows your every foot movement without altering the flex of the board and offers unmatched board feel for making micro edge adjustments as you ride flat.
Unmatched Turn Power: Power is transmitted directly to the edge. When you make a hard heel or toe turn the force you place on your straps and highback is transferred directly to your edge through the hanger, kingpin and post. By using the mechanical advantage of this pivot and lever system, Skate Tech bindings are the most responsive bindings in the world. Once on edge, you are locked in.
No Comparison to Traditional Bindings: Power is transmitted through the center disk. When you make a hard heel or toe turn on traditional bindings the pressure you place on your straps goes into the fixed center disk and forces the binding baseplate to bend before power is delivered to the edges. Energy is concentrated at the center of the board with traditional rigid baseplates which decreases potential turn power compared to Skate Tech bindings.
