Nice one boys! It was a lot of fun filming Morrison on this thing. 10/10 would recommend this board and binding to anyone in the market, they rip.
such a rad video!! just ordered this setup and i’m stoked!! thanks guys
Just found your channel, great video guys. You have a new subscriber 😊
❤🌹 God bless you 🙏🙏
Another great video guys!👍 Picked up the Mega Merc last week, can't wait for some snow to try it out!
AAaaaaa cant believe to see Mark Fawcett... What a legend, met him while couching Paralympians, Top cat :-D Cheers
So glad to see you guys going again, can’t wait to make it to Nelson in December
Do the bindings have multiple positions for the heel riser? Or just one position?
The boys are BACK! 🙌🏼🤘💛
The bindings are compatible with the channel system from Ride splitboard?
Do you guys sometimes go camping when you split board? I having snowboarded in years and I want to put this and camping togetherness.
Quality review by Paul Rudd
Hey guys, in the Video with the Union explore, you said that you added it up with an Voile two stage. Is this also possible with the charger? Thx for the great video!
Great vid guys! Been interested in the Union Chargers for mechanized guiding, and this little edit got me more fired up on them. Thanks for the review
Glad to help!
Such a great video. Rode the 23' mega Merc and it is for sure my next solid. So hyped that im now in Nelson and you guys are the go to shop. Stuck between the Jones solution or hovercraft and the mega split but the Chargers will be my split bindings.
What did you end up getting?
@@slickdanger_ I really wanted the hovercraft but I wanted a split this year and the Hovercraft 2.0 is coming for the 2024 season. I ended going with the Stratos split to diversify my quiver because I have a flagship and the solution is basically the same board. The split is so awesome plenty of fun and not bad for climbing.
Loving the Chargers because I use them for my split (ditto) but I also use them on my flagship because they come with a solid board mount.
Overall wicked setup and you can't go wrong with a Jones split.
Great review, thank you! Please share what size of Capita Mega Splitboard Mark Morison tested and how tall he is? I am really straggling about the size of the splitboard to take, I am 178 cm tall and 90 kg.
Morrison was on the 59 - He is 5'10 and 165lbs
Great review folks and I also like your review of the Korua Transition finder split. I am torn between the two of them the premium look and feel, and the weight of the Capita Mega Split against the tapered directional shape of the Transition Finder and the mounting points in the nose and tail which must make it easier. which would be your recommendation if you had to make a choice please?
This is a difficult one - to simplify , T Finder is you KNOW FOR SURE its always deep deep powder .... Mega Split for a more all around touring machine :)
Awesome job guys.
Thanks again!
Hi guys, how is this compared to the amplid milligramm?
Really impressed with the channel fellas! In one of your videos you make a comment on mounting Union split bindings on a Burton channel split. I can’t find any info online about doing this. I can easily perform any required mods myself. I just don’t want to buy the bindings if it requires any mod that alters the integrity of the setup. Could you please elaborate on the mod to give me a brief overview of what’s required? I really want to go Union vs the Hitchhikers.
Sorry we just saw this one - the one time we have seen it did require some 'drilling" and 'voiding" of all warranties! haha .... im sure you are sorted by now - thanks for the support!
Great reviews guys
Nice one fellas. Beauty setup
Glad you enjoyed it
Starting to backcountry ride after years of snowboarding and I bought these do you think normal snowboard boots can do well? Or do you suggest any type that specifically can be bought? Thanks
Any snowboard boots will work. However, a few companies like Burton and 32 make boots with details that make them "split-touring" labeled boots. Namely the boot shel has less forward lean in them , allowing for a more comfortable and further forward stride. See burton "tourist" and the "Jones" boot line with 32.
Cant really see on the charger
, but does it offer a backward lean( negative foward lean) In hiking mode or its sit a 0degree ?
Its is a slight Negative lean when all the way back - really nice on a flat section with no quad burn!
I'd love to see a comparison review of all your splitboard or a top 5 list. Thanks.
That one is in the works !
@@tributeboardshop nice!! Looking forward to it.
Any follow up on these union chargers? Not much info out on them so far
We are
Loving ours - and the 2 demos sets in our rental fleet are holding up to the wear and tear of newer split riders usage ! Likely give a solid followup end of year!
How responsive are these if used with the the quiver pack on a regular snowboard? Can this truly be a do everything well binding?
Its pretty damn good actually!
What color are these?
Would you say the Chargers could be a good option for a solid board as well? So with using the quiver disc I could cover my split but also my solid Mega Merc and Golden Orca. Or what would be the downside with this?
Thanks for all your great reviews!
I wouldn't use them on a solid board. Mounting surface is higher off the top of the board, so you are elevated more compared to a regular binding.
Can you ski on these m?
😊
No, not everyone loved the previous union split binding system. I’ve only seen negative reviews on previous versions
It's obvious the pin was a bad idea or they wouldn't of changed it. Your board halves would literally move back and forth thanks to the "twist" design. They sucked for touring, made the board feel loose downhill and I think it's unfortunate they kept selling them despite all the complaints. I don't know if the new revision is any better but I do know Spark R&D has a solid system they've hardly been able to improve since the first revision. I've used all the brands pre 2021 and hands down Spark is the best affordable binding, Phantom is the best premium...you will find almost zero debate in the community as some like Karakorum.
That being said that Capita Mega Split is dope 😂 😂
I had the pin system but it did not jive with my swallowtail Prior split so I went with the Burton Hitchhiker (spark plate). All brands have issues, and for my Spark plates, the pin for the toe lock released and in turn pushed the bushing out of the toe strap. Luckily I was able to find the bushing, hammer the pin back into place, and get back to the car!
I am going to try the Chargers now that I have a directional twin! Reviews are mixed but I am going to roll the dice!
I have the explorers and can't stand the pin system! This is huge
Please... Anyone.... I feel Like Every one is wearing there Split Skis on the Wrong Foot. When you carve a Turn your weight is on the uphill inside of the turn and this is were you want the arc of the curved Edge...
The Weston Range is *edit: $700* cheaper than the Mega Split with almost identical ride characteristics. Basically identical shape and sizing, the Mega Split borrows HEAVILY from the Weston Range - basically a Range with Mega Merc construction
The Weston comes with Skins and a Structured Sintered base? Our research says it doesn't - Thats a 350$ Value right there !
@@tributeboardshop I was wrong, before I saw where the Mega Split was like $900, now i see its $1500 meaning its $750 more expensive or TWICE THE PRICE
@@markmorrison7342 that comparison makes absolutely no sense. a more accurate comparison would be a new corvette or a ferrari - the corvette has 90% of the power and features of a 488 or whatever replaced that, but for half the price. corvetttes sell like crazy, ferrari's dont. id also be way less concerned with crashing a corvette than a ferrari... so id rather own a corvette
Curious as to where you rode the Mega Split? What binding System did you use on it?
@@tributeboardshop curious as to where your weston range split review is?
Capita split and Union bindings? LMAO This the setup for people who don't actually split
Isn’t it ok for entry level split boarding, and short to medium long tours? Or it’s totally not even good enough for that
@@mattmitchell794 This setup could be very sick and very solid - but you should always be wary of the 1st iteration of new products. Union's split bindings so far have been absolute garbage. This looks like Capitas first split and essentially anyone who buys this 1st iteration is doing product testing. Also, from my experience, Capita's boards don't hold up very well over time. I don't think this is a good entry level setup because of these unknowns but also the price - $1,499.95 carbon deck with $500 bindings - $2000 doesn't sound very entry level to me. I'd recommend a company with a history of splits (Voile, Salomon, Nitro, Cardiff, etc) and Spark Arcs for bindings. I personally ride a Niche Fathom split (only $600 new! and zero-waste company) with Spark Arcs. It shreds hard and rides like a $1200 deck.
@@TurboMeatsVideos ok sweet thanks man, appreciate the reply
Hey@@TurboMeatsVideos, definitely not Capita's first split. Try looking into the Neo Slasher, it's been going strong for years.
@@TurboMeatsVideos Stop with the r/spliddit nonsense
capita split board is really suck
Why is it bad?
@@mattmitchell794 the binding only has connection in the center of board, when riding on the edges, the board splits
But the base plate once connected to the puck, and once you are strapped in the pressure it divided evenly across the base plate which coveres the width of the board ?? No
Board and bindings are a joke if you really want to splitboard. Ask people who used it!
What do you mean ask people who have used it? This dude has
:-D :-D 😀
Sorry, have you used it?
@@markmorrison7342 yes thats why i write this
Lol
