@SnowboardRobot2 ай бұрын
Sorry for the late reply. I realised I have never written a review on them, but I have ridden the Ultra on a few boards now. I like them a little bit more than my Stratas, even though they aren't technically much different at all. They have a good medium flex, nice ratchets and low profile straps, and pretty damp overall. They are softer and more playful overall than the Cartel X, I found that the close equivalent to Cartel x from Union was the Atlas.

150+ days and mine are now too soft, apart from the flex, the boot is still perfect. do not advise the 2024 Infuse, vans tweaked the model and now the boa jams after a couple of days riding and they now don't fit me very well and give ankle pinch, same for the Verse.

@@SnowboardRobot looks very similar but they seem to be having lots of problems with their boa systems. The cable jams in the runner and then damages the cable and jams up the boa. I have found some older 2023 Verse boots on sale which seem ok and don’t give any ankle pinch. The new Verse pinched my ankles in the shop straight away, I believe it’s the front tongue of the boot causing the problem. Hopefully the 2025 infuse have been rectified

It is heavier, and noticeably wider than the Mercury, and has a bit more support in the tail. The Mercury is a solid all round choice, but a pretty plain/boring shape. If you want to carve, have better float in powder then go for the Korua.

Bought the 23/24 version of the Jones Frontier, just had my first few days on it and I am in love! We had almost half a meter of fresh powder Sunday/Monday in the Alps and I had more fun snowboarding than ever before. Now it’s getting warmer every day, conditions are challenging (bumpy and slushy on the groomers, a bit frosty on what was nice powder just a few days ago) but the board doesn’t even care and cuts through everything like butter… I came from an old Burton board and the difference feels like switching from a hard tail Mountainbike to full suspension. Season is over soon, I have only a week or so left but I can’t wait to ride this board daily next winter!

After two seasons of riding, the cable (which holds the heel arch) broke! The warranty was denied. Bindings are more than three years old from the production date. There is no trust in these bindings. The technology where the cable is used is not reliable! Be careful! Choose any other bindings but not Salomon. This technology is used in models: Salomon Hologram, Salomon Highlander, Salomon District. I wish you all safe riding! God bless you that this does not happen to you on the mountain slopes!

Fantastic review man - been watching your videos for some years now and must have seen this one 10 times! I'm a firmly intermediate rider, stick almost exclusively to groomers, love riding fast and carving trenches but not into park much bar the odd kicker. Really considering the Mercury but just wondered how forgiving it is at low speed, and how agile it feels? I'd be coming from a Never Summer Ripsaw, which I enjoy riding at pace but is a chore at low speed or when navigating rutted out terrain with care. How would the Merc compare? Big thanks, man!
