Jones Frontier 2.0 vs Ride Kink

How they compare

Both target all mountain and freestyle terrain, while the Jones Frontier 2.0 leans more freeride. The Jones Frontier 2.0 uses a directional shape while the Ride Kink is twin. The Jones Frontier 2.0 has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Ride Kink uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). Both are rated 3/10 flex (soft).
