K2 Manifest vs Nidecker Merc

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. They share a directional twin shape — mostly twin with a slight directional bias—versatile for all-mountain and some switch. Both feature hybrid (rocker/camber) profiles — mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile. Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium). The K2 Manifest targets advanced riders while the Nidecker Merc is aimed at intermediate riders.
