Snowboard CAPITA Mega Death 161 Wide 2025

Mega Death is definitely a board for the advanced freerider who knows how to make the most of the gear's performance.

Inspired by the legacy of the Black Snowboard of Death but designed specifically for unparalleled lightweight and powerful riding. Introducing the CAPiTA MEGA DEATH - an exclusive, technologically advanced freeride machine like no other.

Fully equipped with construction technology and design philosophy developed in the world's most advanced manufacturing facility, THE CAPiTA MOTHERSHIP, this ultra-light construction is based on the certified THERMOPOLYMER STARSHIP CORE™ and unique build with incredibly lightweight PURE MEGACARBON™ fiber.

This impressive product aligns with the Black Snowboard of Death's concept as an all-mountain freeride board, but powered by the fastest sintered race base MEGADRIVE™ XT with factory structure MOONSHOT OMNI TUNE™, which further drains water and accelerates the board even more.

MEGA DEATH is simply the board that everyone desires but not everyone will have the chance to own. It’s a truly versatile, high-performance freeride machine ready to take on any descent you dare to point it at.

The lightweight of this board surprises everyone who comes into contact with it!

PROFILE:

• CAMBER: ALPINE V1 - The ALPINE V1 Profile design features a camber in the middle, with a flat tail and reverse camber on the nose. This allows for plenty of pop and stability on hard snow while increasing float and landing power, expanding the rider's capabilities in deep snow. The camber is longer in the tail, providing extra power during approaches or for larger riders seeking a wider board.

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• CORE: THERMOPOLYMER STARSHIP CORE™ - Incredibly lightweight and versatile core with high impact resistance and maximum pop. A hybrid core! Utilizing an advanced electronic sorting system allows for selecting the best quality poplar wood in terms of weight and wood density. All of this, of course, comes from certified sources that care for reforestation. This core retains incredible resilience. Recycled material inserts have been added to the wooden base. The combination of these materials gives a cosmic effect - excellent energy distribution to the edges and incredible pop!

• FIBER: PURE MEGACARBON™ GLASS - Triple ```html weave carbon fiber (instead of glass) on both sides of the core provides better energy transfer to the edge and the best stiffness-to-weight ratio!
• RESIN: MAGIC BEAN™ RESIN - Capita uses eco-friendly resin for all their boards, which is produced without waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it provides high performance with reduced heat requirements, which means less energy consumption in the snowboard manufacturing process. This allows the core to be lighter while maintaining the same board properties. This is why CAPiTA boards are among the lightest on the market!
• SINTERED BASE: NEW! NEW! MEGADRIVE™ XT BASE - Specially developed, sintered base. This is a pure, race-ready surface made from UHMW polyethylene, modified with high carbon content and special fluoro additives that provide light-speed performance in various snow conditions. Intended ONLY for the most depraved speed demons. The base is thicker than the previous version for increased durability.

• EDGES: 360-degree HRC48 Steel Edges.
• SIDECUT: NEW AGE PROGRESSIVE DEATH GRIP™ - This advanced sidecut combines the characteristics of progressive sidecut with Death Grip™ technology. The progressive sidecut consists of two or more radii, allowing for easier turn initiation, greater control, and maximum power at the exit of the turn. Death Grip™ adds a reversed arc in the middle of the board, increasing the contact point, providing better grip, 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 at the exit 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 - A beautifully presenting multi-layer laminate structure. The combination of matte, glossy elements, and gold lettering makes an incredible impression. Additionally, Capita ensured that the laminate is very light, much lighter than classic lacquered boards. MEGALITE SKIN™ is 60% lighter than classic laminate!

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

• INLAID ALLOY NOSE + TAIL SKID PLATE - Additional reinforcement of the board's ends, ultra-light and durable to not only enhance durability but also reduce weight.

MADE IN AUSTRIA! Capita produces and works on new technologies in their own factory, which is not the norm in the industry. This gives them access to the best technologies in manufacturing their own boards. CAPiTA MFG – The Mothership is an example of how modern production should operate. ZERO CO2 emissions, energy sourced from renewables, and 98% of the materials used in the production of the boards come from the nearest regions, so they do not contribute to pollution caused by transportation. The factory has its own slope for testing new solutions!
