Jones Mind Expander vs Jones Ultra Flagship

How they compare

the Jones Mind Expander leans more all mountain, while the Jones Ultra Flagship 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 Jones Mind Expander has a rocker profile (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel), while the Jones Ultra Flagship uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Jones Ultra Flagship is noticeably stiffer at 10/10 versus the Jones Mind Expander's 6/10, suiting more aggressive riding.
