Details How do you improve a legend? You retain the features that made the ski famous and add the latest innovations, which allow progress where a year ago you couldn't see any room for improvement. The new Volkl Mantra M6 again comes with a multilayer wood core and tip and tail rocker. But in the coming season, the newly designed ski body will, for the first time, be adapted to a 3D radius sidecut concept with a tailored Titanal frame. By adapting the Titanal components to the various ski lengths and thus to the skier's proportions, not only can the tip and tail ends be weight-optimized, but the torsional stiffness can also be influenced, thereby improving the ride qualities. This retains the familiar stability of a Titanal ski while also making the Mantra M6 noticeably lighter and more agile to control. The new handling characteristics of the Mantra M6 are also enhanced by the tailored carbon tip. The dedicated positioning of the carbon fibres results in a precise tip response and vastly improves the ski's torsional stiffness. In summary, the Mantra M6 is even more versatile than its predecessor and once again offers maximum fun! Suggested Use All Mountain, Groomers Camber / Rocker Style Tip and Tail Rocker Shape Directional Shape Flex N/A Core Material Multilayer Woodcore: The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood around. Construction Tailored Titanal Frames: Positioned above the sidewall along the tip and tail area of the ski to provide the desired damping and torsional stiffness. The size of the frames is tailored to the skier's height, skiing ability and power. This means that longer ski models have a higher titanal content for more stiffness, more direct power transmission and stronger dampening. The result is the Tailored Titanal Frame technology provides an incomparable combination of agility and high speed control. Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibers onto a carrier material. The result is a light tip, allowing for an agile shovel reaction with less effort and quickly build up energy. The Tailored Carbon Tips thus reach a new level of precision, direct tip response and active skiing pleasure. 3D Radius Sidecut: Three radii in one ski for maximum turning and speed versatility in all mountain skiing. Sidewall Vertical Edges N/A Base P-Tex 2100 Binding Mounting System Flat Skis: Bindings are purchased separately and drilled to the skis to mount.
