2023 Volkl M6 Mantra

 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 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-optimised, 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.
