Sidehit hunters with that transition x-ray vision will love the new CAPiTA Mercury Snowboard. This weapon is happiest when carving through choppy snow, maintaining its stability and composure while laughing in the face of tracked-out terrain. It’s perfect for seeking out hidden stashes of powder and creative cat track transfers, where it can charge harder and boost higher than seems prudent. Designed for riders who seek boost and roost, the CAPiTA Mercury Snowboard is a versatile option that can handle any challenge the mountain throws at it.
Features
- Rocker Type: Resort V2 Directional 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
- ShapeL: 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.
- Directional Shape
- Core: Hover Core – An energetic core that is ultra light and strong with excellent dampening properties.
- Paulownia / Poplar
- Laminates: Amplitech V-Tech Amplifier – Amplitex is a next-generation natural flax fiber woven with carbon strands that is featured in high-end snowboard constructions. This fusion tape brings the best of two worlds: the reactive energy of carbon and the lightweight and dampening aspects of flax. The two fibers are highly compatible since they have similar properties regarding thermal expansion and failure strain, creating a uniformly flexing reinforcement that’s light, snappy and durable all in one.
- Magic Bean Resin – This advanced resin system has a bio-content of 60% renewable, agricultural raw material and is produced with no waste or greenhouse emissions. In production, it has a low-temperature requirement with a high yield output. Poppy, powerful, and extremely durable, MAGIC BEAN resin yields much stronger and more rigid qualities allowing a decrease in the wood core thickness. This means you get a lighter board while achieving higher energy return.
- Holysheet Fiberglass – 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. It features Triaxial fiberglass on top of the core and Biaxial fiberglass beneath, creating a perfectly blended ride while increasing strength and durability.
- Sidewalls: Full ABS1000 Sidewalls
- Base: Hyperdrive Base – Exclusively formulated, sintered, ultra-high molecular weight, ultra-high density polyethylene, custom engineered with special additives. Rated for the most depraved speed junkies only.
- Die-Cut Base
- Edges: 360 Degree HRC48 Steel Edges
- Topsheet: PAM16000 Topsheet with Metallic Underlay
- PLT Topsheet Technology – PLT technology is exclusive to CAPiTA MFG and magically bonds the topsheet to an already pressed snowboard.
- Graphics: Multitech Level 6 DeepSpace Silkscreen – The DEEPSPACE Design Theory takes advantage of the thickness of a transparent topsheet. Strategically layering ink on multiple levels from the top and the bottom imbues graphics with a sense of life through depth.
