Description
If you were looking for the one ski that you can take everywhere, the Mantra has always amongst the chosen few. In the upcoming season, Volkl dared to re-design the ski and develop a highly sporty all mountain freeride setup with carbon tips, a titanal frame and full sidewall. This years' Mantra is actually 4 cm narrower under the boot than the previous model. The new dimensions are built around a multi layer wood core and feature a moderate taper tip & tail rocker, allowing to ride the ski in a playful way or with full force whenever needed.Additional Information

Features
MULTI-LAYER WOOD CORE
Völkl freeskiing models feature a multi-layer wood core with two different densities of wood. In the binding attachment area, a dense, ash core is used, while in the rest of the ski, the core is poplar. The more dense wood creates secure screw retention and stability, while the softer poplar section allows for resilience and snap. The flex pattern can be tailored to each ski model to match the desired performance characteristics.TITANAL
Titanal is a high strength hardened aluminum wrought alloy with excellent compression strength to weight ratios.P-TEX 2100
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.MODERATE TAPER
Moderate setup of tapered tips for an all-mountain oriented combination of precision on piste and easy handling off piste.

On average, your skis should fall somewhere between your chin and forehead when held upright. There are a few additional details that play a significant role in determining which ski size is best fit for you. After consulting the size chart, be sure to consider your weight, skill level, skiing style and the type of terrain you’ll be frequenting.
Here are some reasons for sizing up or down:
Weight
- Size up if you are closer to the high end of your weight range or above average weight for your height.
- Size down if you are closer to the low end of your weight range or below average weight for your height.
Skill Level and Style
-
Size up if you are an advanced/expert skier who prefers
to be fast and aggressive in style.
- Longer skis tend to have a more stable feel.
-
Size down if you are a beginner/intermediate skier who
prefers skiing at a more leisurely pace with quick turns.
- Shorter skis offer higher overall manoeuverability.
Terrain
- Size up if you love to explore the backcountry. Most off-piste skiers lean towards longer skis.
- Size down if you prefer carving your way down a well-groomed mountain or hard pack snow.
