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.

In summary, the Mantra M6 is even more versatile than its predecessor and once again offers maximum fun!

I have skied every era of Mantras dating back to 2005 so I am well-versed in what this ski is supposed to do. It's supposed to be a ski with no speed limit, endless stability, and demanding good form. While I don't think since the inception of this ski that has drastically changed (well, maybe those couple of years, which,... Read more
Ideal for
  • With good form this is an easy ski to master. Not as punishing as I was expecting.
  • Very cool use of metal that allows for great edge engagement and finish
  • This thing absolutely rails on groomers
Not ideal for
  • Not super versatile with a low amount of rocker for compared to most modern skis
  • Interesting edge engagement at different speeds, I sometimes found myself between radiuses
  • Punishing if not skied with good form

Henry Kvietok tested this product
The Volkl Mantra series is an icon in the world of skis. Often called the "Porsche" of the ski world, this one lives up to the brand's claims quite well. It feels consistently planted and smooth in various terrains and even at the fastest speeds. With a titanal frame, carbon stringers, and a wood core, this is a heavier and stiffer... Read more
Ideal for
  • Advanced to expert skiers will get the most out of these skis
  • A balance of piste to off piste skiing
  • Skiing fast, carving hard, and blasting through crud
Not ideal for
  • Heavier ski overall (which can be a pro or con depending on style/preferences)
  • Not the quickest edge to edge and not the best float, more a middle ground ski
  • Not ideal for beginner to intermediate skiers

Leo is a legend!
5 /5
I really appreciated Leo’s honestly as most online reviews of the ski equipment I was looking for were far too positive, and really very few people willing to admit or call out truths about various options, however Leo was spot on and understood exactly what I was experiencing with my current skis which perhaps weren’t the best choice for where I ski. That said we had a huge downfall of snow today and my skis performed absolutely brilliantly, but with Leo’s help I decided to upgrade my skis anyway and also needed bindings for my new Atomic Maverick 88ti skis, following Leo’s advice I opted for the Marker Griffin 13 ID Bindings.

Parker was so helpful with sending me recommendations and even created a personalized video that explained why he was making the recommendations. I definitely didn’t expect such great service from an online ski salesperson! I’ve been looking for skis for months now and Parker helped me decide in one afternoon! I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to purchase skis!

Zach pays attention to your needs!
5 /5
Zach was great at listening to my request and desires out of equipment. As a 1wk/yr skier. He coulg have just said yep here is your weight, ht. budget and here is your gear. Instead he really paid attention to the issues I have had with gear in the past. The desires I had out of my future gear. Look forward to maybe giving an additional review and feedback when I use this gear in a few weeks.

My first time making a snowboard purchase. Brenden’s on point he took the time to find out my skill level, and was where I was planning on going. How much I was willing to spend. He gave me a lot of recommendations broke them down to me and even gave me advice on where I should go around my area. If you need help he is the guy.
