Nidecker Merc vs Rome Mechanic

How they compare

Both boards are designed for all mountain riding. The Nidecker Merc uses a directional twin shape while the Rome Mechanic is twin. The Nidecker Merc 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 Rome Mechanic uses flat_rocker (lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel). Both are rated 5/10 flex (medium).
