PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These snowboards span 2 categories (All-Mountain, Park). Scores reflect each snowboard's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Mercury — riders who want a one-board quiver that excels at carving and all-mountain riding but can still hit park features.. Disaster — park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all boards on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.
| Dimension | Mercury | Disaster |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 9🏆 | 3 |
| Park | 6 | 10🏆 |
| Playfulness | 7🏆 | 7🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 6 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 7🏆 | 3 |
| Powder | 5🏆 | 2 |
Riders who want a one-board quiver that excels at carving and all-mountain riding but can still hit park features. Speed lovers who want edge hold and stability.
Beginners still learning to link turns. Dedicated park/jib riders — too stiff and directional. Deep powder specialists.
Park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. Riders progressing into park for the first time. Street-style riders. Anyone who wants a dedicated soft-flex park tool.
All-mountain riders who need one board for everything. Speed seekers. Powder riders. Advanced riders who need pop for big kickers — the Disaster is built for small-to-medium features, not boosting 40-footers.
Mercury is best for riders who want a one-board quiver that excels at carving and all-mountain riding but can still hit park features. Disaster is best for park rats focused on jibs, rails, boxes, and presses. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
CAPiTA Mercury has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 7/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
CAPiTA Mercury leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 9/10.
Bataleon Disaster has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
