2025 Nidecker Merc Snowboard

Ideal for all-mountain freestyle.

In the past we have said that the Nidecker Merc is the best value snowboard on the market and not much has changed in that regard. This platform is approachable even for a promising beginner to a solid intermediate rider that wants to explore the whole mountain from park to powder. 

The Directional Twin CamRock profile means you can ride it in softer snow, but not miss out when getting some park laps in. The Triax glass means you get solid edge response without the board fighting  you back thanks to the middle flexing profile. If you want a genuine Quiver-Of-One and not break the bank then we couldn't think of a better platform. Plus the board looks pretty sweet!
