WHETHER PARK LAPS OR POW RUNS - WITH THE CAPITA MERCURY YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT BOARD UNDER YOUR FEET

An all-mountain board could hardly be more versatile. Powder or park, kicker or sidehits - the Mercury offers you absolute versatility. The FSC®-certified Panda Core™ with Bamboo Power Rods™ provides stability and ollie power, while the Resort V2 profile offers maximum float and edge grip. With this board, you don't need to check the weather forecast - the Mercury can handle anything.

The Mercury is handmade in Austria in the first snowboard production facility powered by 100 % clean energy. It is a Good Wood Award and Platinum Picks winner.

Riding style
All-mountain freestyle for experienced and advanced riders - you want to have fun all over the mountain? This board can handle everything from sidehits at the edge of the piste to powder runs in the backcountry and fast carving turns.

Shape
With the directional shape the nose is slightly longer than the tail. The bindings and the sidecut are slightly offset to the back. This increases the stability at higher speeds and the lift in powder.

Profile
The Resort V2 profile combines a classic camber between the bindings with a rocker in tip and tail. The rocker increases uplift in powder. The camber offers you good edge hold and fast power transmission on hard slopes.

Flex
The medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and fast board response.

Construction
The FCS® certified Panda Core™ is extremely lightweight. The core features bamboo power rods and is strong enough to meet the demands of any all-terrain rider while saving weight. Amplitex V-Tech™ Amplifiers are strips of carbon and flax. These strips run from the inserts to the contact points, stiffening the nose and tail while dampening vibrations. The Holysheet™ triax-fibreglass gives you a better glass to weight ratio than regular fibreglass and is built into the Mercury with high performance, plant-based Magic Bean™ resin for powerful and dynamic performance. The sintered Hyperdrive™ base is very fast, hard and absorbs a lot of wax for more durability and more speed.

Snowboards are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new snowboard should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.
