Volkl Mantra Skis 2016
In its first year, the new Mantra earned Ski of the Year honors, excelling in any snow conditions - from powder to ice. Thanks to early taper in the tip, a 100mm waist width, and Full Rocker, soft snow performance was improved, with more overall foregiveness and no loss in edge grip. The best Mantra EVER comes back in year two at the top of the heap.
Features
Full Rocker – Völkl Full Rocker is a smooth, gradual bend from tip to tail, with matching sidecut and a symmetrical flex pattern. All the benefits of extra maneuverability in soft snow while delivering smooth, sexy arcs on groomed terrain. The matching flex and sidecut on the full rocker gives you full, uninterrupted edge contact. The more the ski is on edge the more effective that edge becomes, and the resulting smoothness and predictability is uncanny.
Tapered Tip & Tail
Multi Layer Woodcore – Völkl freeskiing models feature a multi-layer wood core that features 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 more secure screw retention, preventing binding pull-out, and the soft, supple poplar section allows for resilience and snap. The flex pattern is tailored to each ski model, depending on the desired performance
Power Construction – Construction utilizes traditional vertical sidewalls and a torsion box internal layup. Used in racing skis as well as all the freeskiing models, this versatile, proven construction provides tremendous grip, stability, and a smooth ride.
Titanal Laminate Layer – There's nothing like a layer of metal to make a ski damp and stable at speed . . .
