Nidecker Micron Merc Youth is the all-round tool of choice ideal for riders who want to improve fast and have fun.

Flex: 4

A pint-sized version of Nidecker´s best-selling men’s model, the Micron Merc enables younger riders to explore the whole mountain in style.The versatile twin shape keeps every option open; it’s comfortable on the piste and great for learning to ride switch, but if you’re lucky enough to score a powder day, the addition of 3D SideKick™ technology at the wide points help it plow easily through deep snow.

Nidecker have dialled in a soft flex that’s easy for the lightest of riders to control, while the Flatrock profile keeps the board feeling planted when going straight but won’t hang up easily during edge transitions. Durable construction borrowed from Nidecker´s regular line – including a full wood core and N-5000 base – ensures the Micron Merc will still be going strong when the time comes for a full-sized board.
