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.
