2024 CAPITA MEGA MERCURY SNOWBOARD
PLANET SIZED POSSIBILITIES
The MEGA MERC is the ultimate all-terrain board for any time and any place. It is inspired by the Mercury series, which is known for its versatility and performance. The MEGA MERC takes it to the next level with some serious upgrades in its construction. It has an FSC® Certified 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core™ that combines premium wood with recycled plastics for a super light and strong core. It also has a MEGACARBON™ Array and a MEGALITE Skin™ topsheet that make it even more powerful and durable.
The MEGA MERC has a new feature for 2024: a high-speed MEGADRIVE™ base with a factory direct Moonshot Omni-tune™ that makes it fast and smooth in both regular and switch riding. The MEGA MERC is designed to give you power and float in any conditions. It is the premium board that can do it all.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Resort V2 Profile – This revolutionary all-terrain shape provides the best of both worlds. It has a raised camber platform through the inserts to retain high-speed edge hold through variable terrain, elevated contact points to land and float in powder, and Flat Kick tip and tail arcs for faster, more aggressive transitions.
Flex
Flex Rating – 6.5 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional Flex
Shape
New Age Directional – NEW AGE DIRECTIONAL sidecuts are progressive sidecuts, which also incorporate a reverse sidecut arc in the midsection of the board. Due to a reduced effective edge as a result of hybrid camber shapes, this reverse camber arc provides a point of contact to retain control throughout the turn and is affectionately referred to as DEATH GRIP™.
Core
FSC® Certified 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core™ – Utilizing an advanced electronic sorting system allows Capita to select mega-premium, reforestation certified, Poplar graded by weight and grain consistency. Comparable to Paulownia in strength to weight ratio, this core retains the poppiness of Poplar, and then achieves a signature feel by adding bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels to form an advanced hybrid core. This mega-premium core will blast you into space and beyond.
Laminates
Triax/Triax Holysheet™ – The HOLYSHEET™ fiberglass configuration features fiber weaves with a high tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity. With a higher roving count in the same weight of glass, you can have a stronger and more responsive board without adding extra weight. Triaxial fiberglass is placed on both the top and bottom of the core providing maximum strength, durability and performance.
Megacarbon™ Array – Mega-wide carbon tape on both top and bottom of the woodcore = four times the power and response of previous carbon additives.
Sidewalls
Full ABS1000 Sidewalls
Base
Die-Cut Base
Megadrive™ Base – Striving to kit out the MEGA line-up with the most advanced and premium components, the all new Megadrive™ base is as fast as science can make it. This is a pure race base composed of HMW polyethylene modified with high carbon content and special fluoro additives for lightspeed gliding in a wide range of conditions.
Moonshot Omni-Tune™ – Aftermarket performance stone grind structure straight from The Mothership, optimized for regular and switch riding.
