Jones BNG MERCURY FASE STEALTH BLACK Snowboard Bindings

The Jones BNG Mercury FASE Stealth Black is a quick-entry all-mountain freeride snowboard binding designed for intermediate to expert riders who want to combine technical performance with everyday comfort. It features the FASE® Fast Entry system, which streamlines the boot-in process to just a few seconds without sacrificing the support typical of traditional two-strap bindings. With a medium-stiff flex rated at 7/10, it’s ideal for riders seeking responsive edge control and precision in their turns, while still offering a helpful margin of error for those looking to improve their skills. The Stealth Black finish gives it a sleek yet bold look, and it’s available in sizes M and L to fit a wide range of shoe sizes.

FASE® Fast Entry: Easy on/off without compromising support

The FASE® Fast Entry system is the hallmark of the Jones BNG Mercury FASE Stealth Black. It allows for ultra-fast entry and exit—a valuable feature during long days on the mountain when every transition counts. Unlike a traditional rear entry system, this design retains the feel of support and precision found in two-strap bindings, while simply adding speed to the process. The result is a balance between the efficiency of a modern entry system and the control sought by technical all-mountain and freeride riders.

Flex and Energy Transfer: Edge-to-Edge Responsiveness

The Mercury FASE’s medium-stiff flex clearly positions this binding for riders who want to feel their board respond instantly. Hanger 3.0 technology pivots around the Kingpin, which acts as a central fulcrum to amplify energy transfer from edge to edge. SKATETECH technology reinforces this direct transfer by reducing energy loss between the rider’s movement and the board’s response. Two response modes are available thanks to interchangeable bushings: a soft bushing in Surf mode for a more relaxed ride, and a stiff bushing in Freeride mode for crisp response and vibration absorption suited to demanding terrain. The Control Flex highback rounds out the package by providing tailored rear support for edge grip in turns and stability at high speeds.

Adjustments and Fit: A Binding That Adapts to Your Body Type

The Jones BNG Mercury FASE Stealth Black features several adjustment systems designed for tool-free access. Here are the main adjustment points:

• Flip-It ankle straps with Hanger 3.0 and Power Spine: precise ankle support with optimized pressure distribution.
• Tool-free highback forward lean adjustment: lets you adjust your riding position to suit your style and body type.
• Tool-free adjustment of ankle and toe strap length: quick adjustment between sessions or when switching boots.
• Fusion XR Baseplate: made from a blend of four materials, it ensures uniform board flex thanks to a true baseplate-less design, with an EVA foam insole for cushioning.

All of these adjustments ensure a binding that adapts to your riding style without requiring any special tools on the slopes.

Compatibility and Mounting: Versatility Guaranteed

The Mercury FASE’s mounting discs are compatible with 4x4, 2x4, and Channel configurations, making it adaptable to the vast majority of snowboards available on the market. This broad compatibility is confirmed by a baseplate footprint identical to that of the traditional Mercury binding (294 mm in size Medium), making replacement or upgrades easy without any mounting complications. The binding is also compatible with all standard snowboard boots, with no specific boot requirements tied to the FASE® system. The baseplate components come with a lifetime warranty, reflecting their expected long-term durability.

For an intermediate rider looking to progress to the expert level, or an experienced rider practicing freeride and all-mountain riding who demands responsiveness and quick entry, the Jones BNG Mercury FASE Stealth Black is a solid and well-defined choice. Its medium-stiff flex, quick-entry system, and accessible adjustments make it a well-rounded snowboard binding, designed to evolve with your skill level and riding style.
