Nidecker Merc Men’s All-Mountain Snowboard. The Merc’s playful feel will inspire you to take your riding to the next level. Its secret sauce is the CamRock profile that smooths turn initiation and gives great edge hold without feeling too aggressive. It’s a super versatile model and a constant team favorite, from the park to the backcountry. With 5 rows of inserts every 2 cm, this combination is the industry standard and works with all bindings on the market (middle position reference stance). The N-5000 is Nidecker’s universal base that’s designed to absorb wax to retain it longer. The Master Core construction provides the perfect harmony of different wood densities and varieties (Poplar, Beech, Spruce, and Paulownia), resulting in a superior weight-to-performance-to power ratio, and an ultra-strong, extra-responsive, lightweight core. Carbon fiber laid up in an X-pattern just outside both insert packs creates a playful and snappy feel as energy is directed straight out to the contact points, and it’s able to create an extremely precise torsional stiffness pattern that adds insane pop for ollies that’ll boost higher than ever. Carbon inlays are added towards the nose and tail to dampen chatter and give your ollies more snap. The relaxed flex from nose to tail is counterbalanced with triax glassing, which makes it feel responsive edge-to-edge and stable at high speed.
