Snowboard Capita Mercury - 2024/25

The CAPiTA Mercury is an extremely versatile snowboard that performs well on both groomed trails and off-piste. It even finds its place in the park, on jumps! Thanks to its lightweight construction and the use of super-responsive bamboo rods combined with AMPLITEX™ V-TECH AMPLIFIER technology, the board offers high energy, excellent pop, and superb energy transfer to the edges. This season, the Mercury model has been further enhanced with a new, lighter, and stronger HOVER CORE™!

This board has been chosen by none other than Kevin Backstrom and French resort veteran Arthur Longo.

If you’re the type who doesn’t check the weather forecast but just shows up and rides in any terrain and any conditions, this board is for you.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• CORE: HOVER CORE™
  A lightweight and strong core made of poplar and paulownia with excellent dampening properties.

• EXTRAS:
  4 x 25mm CARBONFLAX™ AMPLIFIER – A modern blend of natural flax fiber with carbon fibers, used in our highest-quality snowboard constructions. This combination ensures exceptional lightness, flexibility, and durability, combining the best features of both materials: the energy of carbon and the damping properties of flax.

  Triax/Biax HOLYSHEET™ has a higher glass-to-weight ratio than standard fiberglass.

  Exclusive PLT™ technology from CAPiTA MFG that bonds the top layer to the snowboard during the pressing stage, eliminating the need for additional glue layers and toxic varnishes. The result is an exceptionally lightweight, smooth, and glossy finish that stands out among other boards. Additionally, CAPiTA uses digital printing and traditional screen printing, giving graphics a multi-layered depth.
