Unleash chaos on the mountain with the Capital Mega Merc Snowboard, an all-mountain freeride weapon built for riders who charge hard and don’t look back. Featuring a powerful 3D Thermopolymer Starship Core for ultra-responsive control and a lightning-fast MegaDrive XT base, it delivers explosive speed and precision on any terrain. Dialed and ready to shred hard right out of the box, the Mega Merc is your ticket to full-send freedom.
Resort V2 Directional + Flat Kick Tech – This revolutionary all-terrain shape provides the best of both worlds. It has a raised camber platform through the inserts to retain high-speed edge hold through variable terrain, elevated contact points to land and float in powder, and Flat Kick tip and tail arcs for faster, more aggressive transitions.
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional 0.5" Setback
New Age Progressive Death Grip – DEATH GRIP™ is a design theory that incorporates a reverse sidecut arc in the midsection of the board. This reverse camber arc provides a point of contact to apply pressure and retain control throughout the turn in both freestyle and freeride settings.
3D Thermopolymer Starship Core – Utilizing an advanced electronic sorting system allows us to select mega-premium, reforestation certified, Poplar graded by weight and grain consistency. Comparable to Paulownia in strength to weight ratio, this core retains the poppiness of Poplar, and then achieves a signature feel by adding bonded post-consumer recycled Thermopolymer channels to form an advanced hybrid core. This mega-premium core will blast you into space and beyond.
Hybrid Carbon Holysheet Tri/Tri + Megacarbon Magic Bean Resin – The HOLYSHEET™ fiberglass configuration features fiber weaves with a high tensile strength and low modulus of elasticity. With a higher roving count in the same weight of glass, you can have a stronger and more responsive board without adding extra weight. At the highest level, Triaxial fiberglass is placed on both the top and bottom of the core providing maximum strength, durability and performance, while many of our most sought after models feature Triaxial fiberglass on top of the core and Biaxial fiberglass beneath, creating a perfectly blended ride while increasing strength and durability. Combine one of these three layups with the MAGIC BEAN™ resin and one of the many additives we have available, and you get an incredibly high performing board tailored to meet your style of riding.
Moonshot Omni-Tune – The MOONSHOT OMNI-TUNE™ is an aftermarket high-performance race-base structure that wicks water from your base at a 45-degree angle making these boards super fast to the lift line or to the finish line

The all-new Union Source FC Snowboard Binding is a freeride-forward revolution, built with the cutting-edge Direct Connection system that ditches the traditional disc, slashes baseplate height, and sheds serious weight. This design transforms the way energy flows from rider to board, delivering lightning-fast response, ultimate board feel, and featherlight performance. Precision-engineered and high-end to the core, the Source FC is here to change everything — get stoked and ride harder than ever!
Binding Flex Edge-to-Edge – 9/10
Binding Flex Side-to-Side – 7/10
S10 Halo Duraflex XB – Two-Layer Baseplate construction allows two individual layers: the Core [1] and the Frame [2]. Each layer has the possibility of using a unique material and stiffness to achieve the desired ride feel of the binding.
Forged Carbon DCS Baseplate Core – The all-new Forged Carbon DCS Baseplate Core is stiff, responsive, and ultra-lightweight. Through extensive rounds of R&D the Union Lab was able to reduce the baseplate height by 10% getting you as close to the topsheet as possible. This baseplate layer allows for the fastest possible transfer of energy from the rider to the snowboard that Union has ever achieved. Made possible by Union exclusive Forged Carbon.
XB Halo Baseplate Frame – The XB Halo Base Frame is lightest baseplate Union has ever created, while still maintaining the mandatory strength-to-weight ratios needed to pass Union’s strict durability tests. The frame also plays the critical role of connecting the baseplate core, bottom bushing, heelcup, ankle and toe straps together. Made with partially sustainable carbon injected Duraflex XB Nylon.
Hi-Flex EVA Bushing – More durable and more cushioned than traditional thermoformed EVA. Hi-Flex EVA bushings act as an additional layer of dampening and shock absorption between you and your snowboard and never lose shape over time. Your knees and feet will thank you. This all-new reduced volume bushing design allows the rider to be as close to the topsheet as possible.
S18 Source Forged Carbon Highback – The S18 Source Forged Carbon highback is 40% lighter than Union's standard nylon highbacks and extremely responsive edge-to-edge. Made in Italy using Union exclusive Forged Carbon.
Forged Carbon Heelcup – Lightweight, responsive, and made in Italy. Union’s Forged Carbon heelcups are 45% lighter than our standard Extruded Aluminum heelcups and still just as bombproof. Backed by Union’s lifetime warranty guarantee.
Phantom Slim Ankle Strap – 25% lighter than Union's standard Exoframe 4.0 Ankle Strap and still just as comfortable. The new Phantom Slim Ankle Strap features a smaller ratchet, smaller ladder, and a new streamlined lightweight ankle strap design to help reduce weight and materials as much as possible. You won’t even notice that it’s there.
TS 6.0 Toe Strap – TS 6.0 toe straps keep you locked in for the ride down without letting you know they're there. A new, shorter buckle base helps to reduce weight and pressure points. Easily adjust to any boot with the quick turn of a lightweight titanium screw. This is the lightest toe strap on the market.
Ratchets – Magnesium S1 w/ Aluminum Base
Direct Connect System – Union’s all-new Direct Connect System is just that — a direct connection between you and your snowboard. By fully removing the disk from the baseplate, Union has been able to drastically improve the reaction speed between the rider and the snowboard, increase baseplate strength, and simultaneously reduce the overall weight of the binding. Disks are a thing of the past. This all-new mounting system only relies on two screws and two washers to get the job done.
