Capita AERONAUT vs Capita MEGA MERC

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Capita MEGA MERC leans more freeride. They share a directional shape — different nose and tail; built to ride forward with better float in powder and drive on groomers. The Capita AERONAUT has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Capita MEGA MERC uses hybrid (camber/rocker) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Capita MEGA MERC is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. At $649.95 vs $999.95 MSRP, the Capita AERONAUT is the more budget-friendly option.
