Capita Mega Mercury 2027 Snowboard
Beschrijving
The Capita Mega Mercury 2027 Snowboard, presented by the brand as MEGA MERC, is built for riders looking for a high-end all-mountain / freeride platform with a clear focus on precision, speed, and versatility across changing terrain. Its design follows the proven Mercury concept, then pushes it further with lighter and more advanced construction elements. The result is a board positioned for powerful resort riding, technical freeride lines, and riders who want one shape that can move confidently between groomers, variable snow, and powder days.
This board uses a directional shape with a 0.5 inch setback, paired with a Directional 7 flex. That combination points to a responsive ride with enough support for stronger input, higher speeds, and more committed turns, while still maintaining the versatility expected from an all-terrain board. The directional platform is backed by Capita’s Resort V2 Directional + Flat Kick Tech camber profile, which places camber through the inserts for edge hold and control, adds elevated contact points for better float and more forgiving landings, and uses Flat Kick tip and tail arcs for quicker transitions.
On snow, the Mega Merc is built to balance drive and adaptability. Capita positions it as a board for power when conditions call for it, and float when the terrain opens up. The New Age Progressive Death Grip sidecut supports that approach with added control through turns and variable terrain, while the premium construction package is intended to reduce weight and sharpen response.
Key build elements include the Megalite Skin topsheet, developed for significant weight reduction, and the 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core, which combines selected poplar with bonded thermopolymer channels. Capita also equips the board with a Hybrid Holysheet Tri/Tri fiberglass + Megacarbon layup and Magic Bean Resin, a package aimed at improving layup precision while lowering weight. Underneath, the Megadrive XT base and Moonshot Omni-Tune underline the board’s premium, speed-oriented character.
For riders who prioritise a lightweight but powerful directional snowboard for resort use and freeride crossover, the Mega Merc sits at the top end of the category. It is a technical, highly specified option for those who value edge control, stability, and fast base performance in one refined package.
