The new, playful binding that bridges the gap between freeride and freestyle The Jones Orion binding is made for the freestyle rider who is looking for good edge hold and still wants to manoeuvre and tweak his board easily. The Orion with medium stiff flex offers you an immediate conversion of your movements and, thanks to SKATETECH, transfers your power directly to the edge. Whether in surf mode or freeride mode, the Orion does it all. The new Hanger 3.0 creates space for wider boots and the Comfort Flex Ankle Straps provide more comfort with the best power transmission thanks to their 3D shaping. Highback The Progressive Flex Highback with a flex rating of 6 provides a balance of response and flex. The symmetrical highback gets softer towards the tip, providing you with the best tweakability and a playful feel. Of course, the highback can be adjusted without tools. Baseplate The baseplate with SKATETECH ensures the very best power transmission. While many bindings require unnecessary force due to the natural flex, SKATETECH is oriented towards skateboard trucks. This gives you a smooth flex, but the power is still optimally transferred to the edges of your board. Straps The Flip-It Straps can be ridden in two different modes: Surf Mode or Freeride Mode. The Surf Mode offers you maximum tweakability, while the Freeride Mode focuses on maximum response. To switch between the modes, you only have to turn the straps and insert the corresponding dampers into the strap. New to the Orion are the 3D Flex Fit 2.0 Toe Straps. They are slightly stretchy and therefore offer the best comfort and fit your boots perfectly.
