CAPiTA The Black Snowboard Of Death 157W 2023 Snowboard

Capita's legendary all-mountain and freeride machine

For 20 years, the Black Snowboard Of Death has been constantly refined, making it an absolute all-terrain icon. The balanced Directional Shape, combined with Capita's Alpine V1 profile, provides control, edge hold and uplift for steep lines in the backcountry or on hard slopes. The Black Snowboard Of Death has been tuned to perfection over time and will make you a better snowboarder no matter the terrain or conditions.

The Black Snowboard Of Death is made in Austria by hand in the first snowboard production facility powered by 100 % clean energy. It is a Good Wood and Best Of Test (Snowboarder Magazine) Award winner.

Riding style
An all-mountain/freeride board for experienced riders. A reactive, precise snowboard for high-speed turns and steep powder lines. This snowboard gives you the performance for expert-level snowboarding in any terrain.

Shape
The tapered directional shape is perfect for all-mountain and freeriding. The nose is slightly wider than the tail for controlled turns in any terrain. The offset of the bindings in the direction of the tail (setback) makes the nose a little longer for even more uplift in powder.

Profile
The Alpine V1 profile consists of a camber between the bindings, a large rocker area in the nose and a smaller rocker in the tail. This keeps the board extremely manoeuvrable in the pow and gives it enormous lift. The camber offers you good edge hold and fast power transmission.

Flex
The medium-stiff flex ensures precise control and fast board response.

Construction
The FC Hover Core™ is an energetic wood core with carbon strips that is extremely light and strong with excellent cushioning properties. The Carbon Fleece Power Shield™ is a blended fabric and is located in the binding area to improve overall performance and stability. Amplitex V-Tech™ Amplifiers are strips of carbon and flax. These strips run from the inserts to the contact points, stiffening the nose and tail while dampening vibrations. The sintered Hyperdrive™ base is very fast, hard and absorbs a lot of wax for more durability and more speed.

Snowboards er som regel leveret klar til brug med en vokset base og slebede kanter. Men denne såkaldte fabriksklargøring er ikke særlig holdbar og dit nye snowboard bør vokses efter et par dage og vedligholdes på regelmæssig basis.
