Volkl M5 Mantra
For the upcoming season, Volkl has introduced the 5th generation of its versatile Mantra ski, making it more accessible for more riders, without losing its teeth in variable conditions or its playfulness in powder. Volkl arranged the dual layers of Titanal metal inside the ski in a frame instead of using two sheets. The metal sections follow the ski shape in the tip and tail, with an added carbon inlay in the tip. The layup is lighter, with the same damping properties as a full sheet of metal. The M5 is 134-96-117mm, with a tightened radius of 19.8m in size 177, as well as a tip and tail rocker design with camber underfoot and full sidewall construction. Since we demoed them, we think these will be some of our new favorite freeride skis next winter.
