Capita Kevin Backstrom Mercury LTD 2027 – All Mountain Snowboard

The Capita Kevin Backstrom Mercury LTD 2027 is a limited-edition all-mountain and freeride snowboard built for riders who want one quiver-killer board that handles everything from groomed resort runs to open powder fields. Inspired by Backstrom's decade-long evolution toward smooth, effortless all-mountain riding, this board is made for intermediate to advanced snowboarders who value style and versatility above all.

Built on a directional shape with a 0.5-inch setback and Resort V2 Directional + Flat Kick Tech hybrid camber profile, the Mercury delivers a raised camber platform underfoot for locked-in edge hold at speed, elevated contact points for powder float, and flat kick tip-and-tail arcs for snappy, confident transitions. The flex rating is 6.5/10. Under the topsheet, a Hover Core paired with CarbonFlax Amplifiers and a HolySheet Tri/Bi fiberglass layup gives the board a lively, responsive feel with long-lasting pop. The sidecut uses Capita's New Age Progressive Death Grip geometry for precise, natural turn initiation across variable snow conditions.

Who It's For

This board suits the intermediate-to-advanced rider ready to explore beyond the groomed — someone who wants a single setup that charges hard on hardpack, surfs powder lines, and still looks good doing it. If your riding is gravitating away from park tricks and toward expressive, all-terrain snowboarding, the Mercury LTD is your match. The limited-edition graphic, a nod to Backstrom's first childhood snowboard, makes it a collector's piece as much as a performance tool.

FAQ

• Is this board suitable for the terrain park? The Mercury is primarily designed for all-mountain and freeride riding. While its pop and directional camber can handle occasional park use, it is optimized for open-mountain performance rather than park-specific tricks.
• What makes this a limited edition? This is a special release tied to Kevin Backstrom's tenth Beyond Medals film season, featuring a one-of-a-kind graphic personally designed by Kevin — quantities are limited and it won't be restocked once sold out.
