Snowboard CAPITA Mega Merc 157 2025

Inspired by the Mercury series, the Mega Merc is its younger but supercharged high-tech version. The Capita Mega Mercury snowboard is designed for advanced riders who can handle any conditions.

The board features an ultra-light advanced core from the premium world - 3D THERMOPOLYMER STARSHIP CORE™ reinforced with wide bands of MEGA CARBON™, interwoven in the hybrid fiber HYBRID HOLYSHEET™ TRI/TRI for increased precision and reduced weight this season.

The RESORT V2 camber profile with raised tips and wide camber provides an incredible combination of control and off-piste fun.

This season, the Mega Merc is even faster with the factory's fastest sintered base CAPITA MFG - MEGADRIVE™ XT BASE, additionally supported by the MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™ structure. This structure facilitates water drainage, accelerating the board even more. The base is thicker than the previous version for increased durability. All this creates a cosmic effect, making it one of the fastest boards on the slope, with excellent edge hold and energy transfer.

The low weight of this board surprises everyone who comes in contact with it!

PROFILE:

• HYBRID/CAMBER: RESORT 2 DIRECTIONAL - The RESORT V2 Profile This revolutionary shape for all terrains provides the best of both worlds. It has camber in the middle of the board ending behind the inserts for good edge hold at high speeds in all conditions, and rocker outside the bindings giving us many possibilities in fresh snow.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• CORE: 3D THERMOPOLYMER STARSHOP CORE™ - Extremely lightweight and versatile core with high impact resistance and maximum pop. A hybrid core! The use of an advanced electronic sorting system allows selecting the highest quality poplar wood in terms of weight and grain density. All this, of course, from certified sources that care for reforestation. This core retains incredible springiness. Inserts of recycled material have been added to the wooden base. The combination of these materials creates a cosmic effect - excellent energy distribution to the edges and incredible pop! The core is cut in three dimensions - 3D. It is maximally slimmed down around the nose and tail, additionally profiled so that energy quickly passes to the contact points with the snow for incredibly quick turn initiation.

• FIBER: NEW! HYBRID HOLYSHEET™ TRI/TRI MEGACARBON™ - The latest type of fiber from the CAPITA MFG factory. Wide carbon fiber bands - MEGACARBON™, are woven directly into the triaxial fiberglass weave. This ensures weight reduction and more precise fiber alignment. The triaxial fiberglass weave on both sides of the core provides better vibration absorption and better energy transfer to the edge.
• RESIN: MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN - Capita uses eco-friendly resin for all its boards, produced with zero waste and greenhouse gas emissions. It also ensures high performance with reduced heat requirements, meaning less energy consumption in the snowboard production process. Thanks to it, the core can be lighter while maintaining the same board properties. That's why CAPiTA boards are among the lightest on the market!
• SINTERED BASE: NEW! NEW! MEGADRIVE™ XT BASE Specially developed sintered base. It is a pure, race surface made of UHMW polyethylene, modified with a high carbon content and special fluoro additives, ensuring light speed in various snow conditions. Designed ONLY for the most depraved speed demons. The base is thicker than the previous version for increased durability.

• EDGES: 360-degree HRC48 steel edges.
• SIDE CUT: NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE DEATH GRIP™ - an advanced edge cut combining the features of a progressive edge and Death Grip™ technology. The progressive edge consists of two or more radii, allowing for easier turn initiation, greater control, and maximum power when exiting the turn. Death Grip™ adds a reversed arc in the middle of the board, increasing the contact point, providing better ground hold and precise pressure application. The combination of these two technologies in the NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE edge makes the board exceptionally versatile, offering easy turn initiation, excellent control throughout the turn, and maximum power when exiting the turn, while providing an additional contact point and control thanks to Death Grip™ technology.
• SIDEWALL: full sidewalls with ABS1000 protection.
• INSERTS: stainless steel 4x2 inserts.
• LAMINATE: MEGALITE SKIN™ TOPSHEET - Great-looking multi-level laminate structure. The combination of matte with glossy elements and gold inscriptions makes an incredible impression. Additionally, Capita ensured that the laminate is very light, much lighter than classic boards coated with lacquer. MEGALITE SKIN™ is 60% lighter than classic laminate!

EXTRAS:

• MEGACARBON™ - wide carbon fiber bands woven into triaxial fiberglass on both sides of the core. Known for its rigidity, high-tensile strength, low weight, high-temperature tolerance, and low thermal expansion, carbon fiber is one of the most popular materials used in today's high-performance models.

MADE IN AUSTRIA! Capita manufactures and works on new technologies in its own factory, which is not a standard in the industry. This ensures access to the best technologies in the production of their boards. CAPiTA MFG – The Mothership is an example of how modern production should operate. ZERO CO2 emissions, energy drawn from renewable sources, and 98% of materials for board production are sourced from the nearest regions, thus not contributing to pollution resulting from transport. The factory has its own slope for testing new solutions!

Which bindings to choose for the CAPiTA MEGA MERC snowboard?

The CAPiTA Mega Mercury is a very versatile freeride board designed for technical riding in all conditions, both on the slope and in powder off-piste. Therefore, you can pair it with various bindings from medium stiffness to the stiffest ones, depending on your preferred riding style.

Our suggestions are:

• UNION Atlas Pro bindings - the stiffest and lightest freeride option, incredibly light and responsive.
• UNION Atlas bindings - a stiffer freeride option for the rider who knows what they are looking for in the mountains. Lightweight and responsive - a classic among freeride bindings.
• UNION Force bindings - versatile and advanced All Mountain bindings, the most technologically advanced binding of the proposed options.
