Capita Mercury vs Nitro Prime Raw

How they compare

Both target all mountain terrain, while the Capita Mercury leans more freeride. The Capita Mercury uses a directional shape while the Nitro Prime Raw is directional twin. The Capita Mercury has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the Nitro Prime Raw uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The Capita Mercury is slightly stiffer, though both sit in the medium range. The Capita Mercury targets expert riders while the Nitro Prime Raw is aimed at intermediate riders.
