Technology
The Mercury KB LTD is Kevin Backstrom's limited-edition take on CAPiTA's award-winning all-terrain board, with a graphic Kevin designed himself as a nod to where his snowboarding started. Underneath it's the same Mercury he relies on for stylish airtime, effortless float and smooth landings, from powder and side hits to kickers and park laps. Directional flex 6.5. Made in limited numbers in 155, 157 and 159.
It runs the Resort V2 Directional profile: raised camber through the inserts for high-speed edge hold, elevated contact points to land and float in powder, and Flat Kick Tech arcs in tip and tail for quicker transitions. The directional shape with 0.5" setback and New Age Progressive Death Grip™ sidecut add extra contact points underfoot for grip on hard snow.
Construction
The paulownia and poplar Hover Core™ is CAPiTA's lightweight premium core with excellent dampening. Amplitex™ V-Tech Amplifiers, flax woven with carbon strands, add snap and calm chatter, laminated in HolySheet™ Tri/Bi fiberglass with Magic Bean™ Resin for durability and ollie power.
The sintered HYPERDRIVE™ Base, made exclusively for The Mothership in Austria, is built for speed, and PLT Topsheet Technology™ bonds the topsheet after pressing without solvent-based lacquers.
