MERC SNOWBOARD - 2024

Progression begins with confidence, and the Merc’s playful feel will inspire you to take your riding to the next level, whatever the terrain. The secret sauce is the Standard Camrock profile, a combination of classic camber beneath your feet with extended rocker towards the tip and tail. This gives great edge hold without being too aggressive; it also smooths turn initiation and adds useful float in powder. Nidecker has paired it with a mellow flex pattern that doesn’t need superhuman strength to load presses, but thanks to Pop Carbon inlays at each end you can still generate a ton of ollie power. It’s a truly versatile model and a favourite of Nidecker's team, whether they’re launching off the pro line or exploring deep in the backcountry. You won’t find a better value quiver killer.

FEATURES:

• CAMROCK PROFILE: CamRock represents the best rocker/camber combination in snowboarding today. This proven profile is perfect for riders who want to enjoy all aspects of snowboarding. With camber between the bindings and rocker evenly distributed in the nose and tail, this is the all-mountain, all-condition profile that will leave you stoked and smiling from ear to ear.
• DIRECTIONAL TWIN SHAPE: The best of both worlds, a directional twin shape has a slightly longer nose which gives it more float and stability, but a much longer tail allowing you a more balanced riding position and easier switch riding. That makes it a great choice for freestyle-leaning riders.
• PREMIUM SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION: A step up from Nidecker's standard sandwich construction that adds carbon stringers for more pop, quicker edge response and improved shock absorption.
• ABSORBNID TOP: An innovative top layer designed to absorb unwanted vibrations. Enjoy a smooth ride with less fatigue.
• 4/2-5 INSERTS: 5 rows of inserts at 2 cm intervals is the industry standard pattern and works with any binding on the market.
• TRIAX PLUS: Fiberglass is woven in three directions at 45° for maximum stiffness. The result of extensive testing with Nidecker's riders and engineers, Triax Plus uses different glass densities above and below the core to deliver more consistent torsional flex, better pop, and lightning response.
• MASTER CORE: Nidecker's Master Core is the culmination of decades of experimentation in materials and woodcraft. Two species of wood (poplar and paulownia) are combined to give the best of all worlds: light, strong and responsive.
• N-5000 BASE: Nidecker's extruded N-5000 base sets the standard. It's exceptionally durable and stays fast even without regular waxing.
