Jones Mercury FASE® Snowboard Bindings

Who are they for? Jones Mercury FASE® are versatile and dynamic all-mountain / freeride bindings for riders who want quick response, stable board control and all-day comfort. The 4/5 flex provides strong support for carving and faster riding while still leaving enough freedom for a more creative riding style. The FASE® system also allows fast entry and exit without requiring special snowboard boots.

FASE® – fast entry with traditional two-strap feel

Jones Mercury FASE® use the FASE® Fast Entry System, combining the convenience of fast entry with the secure hold and adjustability of traditional two-strap bindings. The system works with standard snowboard boots, so there is no need for dedicated footwear or a special boot interface. Once the straps are initially adjusted, riders can enter the binding quickly while still retaining the ability to fine-tune the fit when needed.

Fusion XR – quick response and versatile board control

The Fusion XR Baseplate is an asymmetric, low-profile baseplate made from a nylon and fiberglass composite. It is designed to transfer energy efficiently from the boot to the board and provide direct board feel during all-mountain riding. Combined with the medium-stiff AsymFlex Highback, it delivers the stability needed for fast freeriding and carving while remaining more versatile than very stiff, maximum-response binding constructions.

No. The FASE® system works with standard snowboard boots. You only need to choose the correct binding size and properly adjust the straps for your specific boot model.
