Jones Freecarver 9000s vs Jones Frontier

The Jones Freecarver 9000s has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Jones Frontier uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Jones Freecarver 9000s is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Jones Freecarver 9000s targets expert riders while the Jones Frontier is aimed at advanced riders.
