The CAPiTA Mega Mercury is the pinnacle in versatility, being the ultimate snowboard for powder, freeriding, and powerful in resort performance. Inspired by the groundbreaking Mercury snowboard, the Mega Merc takes the proven construction and ability of the Mercury and upgrades it with space-age tech you won't find on any other snowboard. Boasting a brand new, unique 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core with ultralight recycled plastics, an array of Megacarbon, and a Megalite topsheet that is barely there but as strong as ever, the Mega Merc is one of the most advanced, most versatile, and most premium boards to hit the snow. If you ride anything and everything, and do it with power and precision, you can trust the Mega Merc to deliver power when you want it, float when you need it, and a game changing experience all over the mountain. Board Type: All Mountain-Freeride All Mountain snowboards are versatile boards that excel across various terrains, from groomed runs to off-piste. These boards offer solid edge control and responsiveness, making them a great option for riders who want one board to do just about everything. Freeride snowboards are built for steeper, off-piste terrain. These boards are ideal for aggressive riding and usually for more advanced riders. Flex: 7/10 (1=soft, 10=stiff) Offering a balanced blend of flexibility and stiffness, mid-flex boards are versatile and suitable for all-mountain riding. They provide enough responsiveness for carving while maintaining some forgiveness for playful or casual riding. Ability Level: Advanced Advanced snowboards are stiffer and more responsive, designed for high-speed control, precision riding, and handling challenging terrain or tricks. Shape: Directional A directional snowboard has a shape designed for riding primarily in one direction, with a longer nose and a shorter, more compact tail. This design provides better control, stability, and float in powder, making it ideal for freeride and all-mountain riding. It offers optimal performance when riding forward, with a focus on carving and downhill runs. Camber Type: Resort V2 Directional + Flat Kick Tech CAPiTA's Resort V2 Directional + Flat Kick Tech is a groundbreaking all-terrain shape offers the perfect balance of performance and versatility. A raised camber platform through the inserts ensures reliable edge hold at high speeds on variable terrain, while elevated contact points enhance float and stability in powder. Flat Kick tip and tail arcs enable quicker, more aggressive transitions for a dynamic ride. Sidecut: New Age Progressive + Death Grip CAPiTA's New Age Progressive + Death Grip sidecut delivers optimal control and performance. The Progressive sidecut blends two or more radii to accommodate the three stages of a turn, ensuring smooth initiation, enhanced control, and maximum power when exiting. Meanwhile, the Death Grip features a reverse sidecut arc in the board’s midsection, providing a contact point for pressure application and consistent control throughout the turn, making it ideal for both freestyle and freeride riding. Width: Standard, Wide Standard width boards deliver exceptional edge-to-edge quickness and responsiveness while providing enough platform space for riders with average boot sizes. Wide boards are for those with large boot sizes and provide extra flotation, reduced drag, and never feel clunky or cumbersome underfoot. Inserts: 2x4 Inserts These offer a tighter hole pattern, allowing for more precise stance adjustments. Board Construction Topsheet: Megalite Skin Topsheet - Digital and Screen Print with Chrome Silver Underlay CAPiTA's Megalite Skin Topsheet is a super thin but incredibly durable and strong matte lamina used in topsheets that reduce the weight 60% compared to regular topsheets. CAPiTA creates their incredibly detailed and vibrant topsheet designs using a combination of digital and hand screen printing methods. Their PAM16000 Printing technology utilises 16,000 individual inkjet nozzles to produce flawless digital graphics with solventless, water-based UV ink—delivering exceptional accuracy, quality, and speed. Additionally, every CAPiTA topsheet includes a portion that is silkscreened through a hand screen printing process, adding unique texture and depth to the final design. Laminate: Hybrid Carbon Holysheet Tri/Tri and Megacarbon Magic Bean Resin The Holysheet fiberglass construction utilises fiberglass weaves designed for high tensile strength and low elasticity. By incorporating a greater roving count without increasing weight, this configuration enhances board strength and responsiveness. For peak performance, tri-axial fiberglass layers are strategically positioned above and below the core, with carbon additives interwoven into the actual fiberglass laminate offering the highest level enhancement in the durability, stability, and ride quality of the board while reducing the weight significantly. The Megacarbon Magic Bean resin system, developed over three years, is plant-based with high bio-content, zero waste, and no greenhouse emissions. It requires low production temperatures while delivering high yield, strength, and durability. Its enhanced rigidity allows for a thinner wood core, reducing weight while increasing energy return for a lighter, more responsive board. Core: 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core CAPiTA's 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core is made of a 3D cut, mega-premium, reforestation-certified Poplar, which is graded for weight and grain consistency. By having a strength-to-weight ratio similar to Paulownia, this core preserves the lively "poppiness" of Poplar and reaches high level performance level by incorporating bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels, creating an advanced hybrid core offering unparalled performance. Base: Megadrive XT Base - Moonshot Omni-Tune, Die-Cut Using the most advanced and premium base materials, the Megadrive XT base is a pure sintered race base made of UHMW polyethelene with carbon content and fluro additions for the fastest base CAPiTA can make. This base is extra thick for enhanced durability. CAPiTA's Moonshot Omni-Tune is a high-performing race base that disperses water at an angle of 45 degrees making the board slide across the snow faster than anything else. CAPiTA uses advanced laser-guided die-cutting technology to ensure razor-sharp edges and exceptionally bold, vibrant colors for their bases.
