Summary
The Mercury binding is designed for the all-mountain rider who needs supreme edge control and comfort balanced with a more maneuverable, medium stiff flex. The Mercury will respond instantly to your every move thanks to NOW Skate Tech technology that transfers your energy directly to your edges. The Mercury’s new Control Flex highback offers solid support while absorbing chatter and eliminating calf-bite. The Mercury can be set up in Surf mode or Freeride mode by switching bushing and swapping the Flip-It ankle straps. Surf mode offers maximum tweak-ability, Freeride mode offers maximum response. New for 2021, the Mercury has a new Control Flex highback plus low profile Auxtech toe straps and ergonomic buckles.

Baseplate
NOW Skate Tech – The components of the NOW Skate Tech design mimic the function of a skateboard truck. The "Hanger" acts as a lever that transfers energy input from the straps to the "Bushings" and onto the board edges.
Kingpin – Creates a fulcrum that magnifies edge to edge energy transfer through leverage. Made from stainless steel with 4mm allen key hardware.
Hanger 2.0 Nylon Reinforced with 30% Fiberglass – Creates a lever that pivots on the Kingpin. Transfers energy input from straps to bushings onto board edges. Baseless design allows for even board flex.
Swappable Bushings (Soft and Hard Bushings Included) – Jones bindings offer customizable dampening and response by switching between Surf Mode and Freeride Mode. Surf Mode lets you tweak harder, while Freeride Mode keeps you locked in for maximum response. Switch modes by changing the bushings from soft (Surf Mode) to hard (Freeride Mode) and adjusting the Flip-It ankle straps.
