help Capita Mercury FAQ
What is the Magtek system on the Capita Mercury?
The Magtek system uses magnetic pins and channels to allow quick, tool-free binding swaps. Riders can change bindings in seconds without screws or tools, making it convenient for adjusting setup between runs.
Is the Capita Mercury good for beginners?
The Mercury is better suited for intermediate to advanced park riders. Its playful feel and forgiving rocker base help newer riders learn tricks, but the twin shape and lack of stability may challenge complete beginners.
How does the rocker base compare to camber for park riding?
The rocker base lifts the contact points, making butters and spins easier while preventing edge catches. However, it sacrifices some pop and edge control compared to camber, which experienced riders may notice at high speeds.
What size Capita Mercury should I choose?
The Mercury typically runs true to size for park riding. Choose your regular boot size, but consider sizing down 2-4cm if you prioritize quick spins and butters, or stay true to size for balanced all-mountain park performance.
