ON3P Jeffrey 112 (2026) – Review

Overview

The ON3P Jeffrey 112 (2026) blends playful freeride attitude with legitimate stability and class‑leading durability. Signature Rocker, Delta Taper, and a robust bamboo/glass/carbon layup create a ski that slashes, butters, and pivots with ease while staying calm when you open it up in chop and land real airs.

Who is it for?

Advanced to expert skiers who want a playful 112‑mm platform that still charges.
Riders mixing butters, slashes, and switch with drops and speed.
Anyone prioritizing damping and durability over the lightest possible feel.

On‑snow performance

Powder & trees: High tips, shorter contact length, and taper deliver excellent float and a loose, pivot‑happy feel. At 112 mm underfoot, it’s surfy yet maneuverable in tighter spaces.
Chop & crud: The above‑average mass (e.g., ~2200 g per ski in 186) plus bamboo/VDS damping let the Jeffrey 112 smash through tracked snow without getting twitchy. It stays loose but planted.
Groomers & firm: With a longer radius (25 m in 186), it prefers medium‑to‑long arcs. Edge hold is respectable when you commit to high edge angles, but the strong rocker and shorter effective edge make it no trench‑carver.
Moguls & tight lines: Delta Taper helps the tail release cleanly. For its width it’s impressively maneuverable, though the weight rewards good timing and balance.
Park & switch: The progressive shape/mount philosophy inspires confidence for switch takeoffs/landings. Swing weight is higher than on lighter park skis, but durability is a standout for rail wear.

Construction and what it means

Signature Rocker (rocker/camber/rocker with shorter contact length, lower camber, higher tips): boosts float and smear‑ability, trades a bit of locked‑in grip.
Widths (boxy tip/112/tapered tail by length): a lifting tip and quick‑releasing tail for easy pivots and slashes.
Radius (~23–26 m): stability at speed and smooth transitions; not designed for ultra‑tight carved turns.
Weight (~2.0–2.33 kg per ski): excellent damping and composure in cut‑up snow; higher swing weight and more fatigue than featherweight builds.
Bamboo core + hybrid glass/carbon: lively yet stout; supportive on landings and at speed.
Thick 1.8 mm base and 2.5×2.5 mm edges + VDS: standout durability and vibration control, with a weight penalty.

Pros and cons

Pros

Rare blend of playful, surfy feel with real stability in chop.
Bombproof construction (thick base/edges, VDS) resists season‑long abuse.
Hook‑free tail release in variable snow; easy to pivot and smear.

Cons

Heavier than many peers; not ideal for big touring days.
Less locked‑in carving on ice; needs commitment to bite on very firm snow.
Longer radius/strong rocker prefer speed for energetic turns.

Comparisons

ON3P Jeffrey 108: quicker edge‑to‑edge and better on firm, but with less float and plow‑through composure in deep/chop.
ON3P Jeffrey 118: surfier and more float in deep, but more specialized and less all‑round on mixed conditions.
Atomic Bent 110: lighter and looser, but less damping/durability when charging through crud.
Moment Wildcat 108/118: more directional with stronger tail finish and better hard‑snow bite; less smear‑y and playful.
K2 Reckoner 112: softer and jibby, great in the park; lacks the Jeffrey’s stability and burly build at speed.

Sizing and mounting

Length: size down (176/181) for trees/tight spaces or lower speeds; size up (186/191) for stability, airs, and higher speeds. Many advanced skiers of average build land on 186 cm.
Mount: ON3P’s recommendation is progressive; stay on the line for freestyle balance. Move back 0.5–1 cm if you want a touch more tip drive.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Who should buy the ON3P Jeffrey 112 (2026)?
A: Advanced/experts who want a playful freeride ski with real stability. The Jeffrey 112 blends surfy powder performance with damping and long‑term durability.

Q: How does it handle groomers?
A: Respectably, especially in medium‑to‑long arcs with strong edge angles. Still, the pronounced rocker and shorter effective edge mean it won’t carve trenches on boilerplate.

Q: Is it a good touring option?
A: Not really. The weight and burly construction favor inbounds/resort pow and sidecountry laps over long climbs. Short hikes are fine.

Q: What bindings pair well?
A: A stout alpine or hybrid freeride binding that matches the ski’s damping and intended use—think reliable retention for airs and speed.

Key takeaways

Surfy yet composed: playful feel with real crud‑calm.
Built to last: thick base/edges and ample VDS damping.
Not a carver or featherweight: favors flow, speed, and soft‑snow fun.
