Völkl Mantra M6 (Powder Ski 2023/2024)

Product Summary

The Völkl Mantra M6's full retail price is €800. The Ski costs roughly €120 more than the average price of all Powder Skis, making it a real premium Ski. Skilled skiers will enjoy both relaxed cruising and pushing the ski to its limit. The Mantra M6 is a more off-piste oriented ski which rides great in deep powder. Thanks to its versatility however, it is also fun on groomers from time to time. Available lengths for the ski are ranging between 163 and 191cm. The ski is very agile and performs well in all sizes of turn radius - both long and short. The radius ranges from 45.93 ft to 68.9 ft (depending on the length of the ski).

The ski in details

There’s only one ski that’s better than the Mantra M5: the Mantra M6.

How do you improve a legend? You retain the features that made the ski famous and add the latest innovations. The Mantra M6 again comes with a multilayer wood core and tip and tail rocker. But the ski body will 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 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!
