Capita Aeronaut vs Jones Stratos

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Jones Stratos leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Capita Aeronaut has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Jones Stratos uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Jones Stratos is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Capita Aeronaut targets advanced riders while the Jones Stratos is aimed at expert riders.
