Consumer Reports

The Volkl M6 Mantra has truly earned our approval as the best all-mountain ski, keeping the Mantra series atop the podium once again. With high scores across all testing metrics, the M6 transmits a magnetic and confidence-inspiring ride to the skier through all types of terrain and snow conditions. Whether the forecast is unclear and snow conditions uncertain, staying true to your “Mantra” is what we recommend. With three of Volkl’s Tailored Technologies underfoot, be prepared to tackle anything the mountain throws your way.
This year Volkl introduces their 3D Radius Sidecut technology to the M6 Mantra. Boasting three different turn radii within the side of the ski, the M6 can achieve a different turn outcome depending on skier input. This new technology admittedly took some getting used to. However, we found the tech especially helpful when merging onto a new run with more traffic or exiting a mogul field back onto the groomer. The M6 Mantra is on the damp side of the spectrum for skis. But we can’t complain when the overall result is the superior combination of stability and maneuverability that this ski offers through icy groomers, afternoon chop and slop, and deep pow days.

Switchback Travel

On the heels of the extremely successful and well-loved M5, Volkl hasn’t rocked the boat too much with the new M6 Mantra. It remains an extremely powerful and precise all-mountain option that’s perfectly happy in the hands of hard chargers at speed. Volkl did make some tweaks to the Titanal Frame construction: shorter skis now have less metal and are a little softer, while longer options are stronger with more metal. You also get the brand’s 3D Radius (also found in the Kendo below), which effectively gives the ski three different turn radii. In practice, it’s pretty impressive, and the M6 feels comfortable at everything from tight and quick turns to wide GS sweepers.

It’s a close call between the M6 and Nordica Enforcer above, and both are versatile, standout models. In parsing out the differences, the Mantra is noticeably wider at the tip (by 8mm), and its stiffer build gives it the advantage in terms of stability. But the Nordica is more comfortable in tight spaces with its nimble, easier-to-manage flex (this also makes it a better option for intermediate-level skiers). Both are excellent one-quiver options for riders that spend the majority of their time on groomers or in regions with moderate snowfall. We think the Nordica is a bit more well-rounded, but if you prioritize unflappable performance in nearly all conditions, the M6 Mantra is hard to beat.See the Volkl M6 Mantra  See the Women's Volkl Secret

 Today, i'm here to talk to you about the volkl m6 mantra baby. It'S a brand new ski this year, we're pumped they actually utilized some newer technology from the volkl kendo that came out about two years ago and introduced it into the m6 this year. Some of that technology consists of 3d radius, beach, poplar core and the space frame. Poplar beach poplar your fun poppy playful wood, beach, stable stay on the snow charge through crud, two sheets of metal around the space frame, two full sheets of metal throughout the center and two sheets around the space frame and the tail

2022 Volkl M6 Mantra Product Review

6'0 270lbs here. Volkl M6 Mantra 184 is what I ski, and before that I was on an older pair of Matra's. This is what you want, or something similarly stiff like a Nordica Enforcer etc.

I recently switched from boards to skiing again and am looking for a solid all mountain ski that will actually let me carve instead of just folding and sliding sideways.  I don't have much faith in the Amazon sponsored lists, and every manufacturer seems happy to say that their ski will work great, so I'm looking for real world info.

I am 6'3" and presently 260lbs and falling (down from 300).  I intend to reach a 230lb goal weight by next season.  I am mostly on 184 k2 poacher twin tips, but the whole twin thing isnt as fun as I had expected.  I have a worn out pair of 193 salomon xscreams that are old and shitty.  I ski midwest groomed/ice 95% of the time 2+ times a week with occasional real snowfall and 1-2 trips west.  I'd say I'm solid intermediate maybe a little advanced, sometimes I like to go 25-30mph according to gps.

I have been told to get skis with metal, and avoid the capped ones for ones with more rigid sidewalls.  Hoping to look late or off season because I just spent alot on proper boots.  Anyone have advice?

Any real world heavy (230lb+) skiers?

 Buy the Volcomantra M6 if you want a slightly wider, hard-charging, powerful feeling ski that maximizes frontside performance.

2023 Volkl M6 Mantra - Ski Review

 I love charging but am realizing the  value in finesse with a few more years on my legs. I  was thinking Volkl Mantra m6s (191cm), Rossignol Sender TI (194cm),  Fischer ranger FR102s (191cm), or K2 Mindbender 108Ti (193cm), Armada Declivity 102Ti (188cm).

 So it's going to feel really comfortable across all different snowpacks. Again, great option for that advanced level skier.

 The Titanol frame and the new Carbon Tailor tips that you can see in this make for a ski that really enters the turn with a lot of dampness and a very, very smooth feel. Tons of edge hold on this thing and just smooth is the name of the game here. It's not going to do anything that's unpredictable. It's not going to throw you

 Totally overhauled this year with a couple of cool new updates. But this ski is really going to be aimed at your advanced to expert level skier that's looking to have one really powerful ski to tackle the entire mountain. The Titanol frame and the new Carbon Tailor tips that you can see in this make for a ski that really enters the turn with a lot of dampness and a very, very smooth feel.

Thom's Review-Volkl Mantra M6 Skis 2022-Skis.com

A lot hasn’t changed for this winter, but the Nordica Enforcer 100 got an update and I’m intrigued.

<div class="md"><p>A lot hasn’t changed for this winter, but the Nordica Enforcer 100 got an update and I’m intrigued.</p>
</div>

Anyone else as stoked as I am for all the new equipment? What skis are you most excited to demo this winter?

 So we get tailored titanal frame and we get tailored carbon tip. Tailored titanal frame is pretty darn cool. Simply they took some metal out of the tip of the ski. So if you're to compare m5 mantra, m6 mantra the metal frame, especially just right in the end of the ski or only in right, in the end of the ski and in the tail as well

 Something that really kind of jumped out to me is. Is this morning we skied with uh, with a local local skier named christy who's who's, very, very good. At skiing racing background, she's been with vocal for a long time as like an athlete ambassador type position, she normally skis something like a 170 secret. I had her test the 177 m6 mantra this morning and watching her

 You know you're, probably going to take this ski off trail from time to time, just because, if you're choosing this width chances are you're going to be skiing, something other than just a groomer. So it's achieving that high level of carving performance, high level, precision and responsiveness and edge grip, while still being a relatively versatile ski. So all of that stuff carries over to this new mantra. They did a really good job of retaining what was already great about it, and to me that the highlighting characteristic of this ski has always been its precision

 So taking some swing weight out of the tip of the ski and what makes it tailored is it changes per length? So this is kind of similar to, or at least reminds me of what blizzard's doing with their true blend wood core. Basically, the the engineers at vocal are looking for ways to kind of custom, tweak the performance for each length of the ski, which i think is really cool and, and i think something that we'll probably see work its way into more and more brands in the ski Industry so take this 184 take the 184 and the 177 m6 mantra. This 184 has a longer thicker part of the metal. You know, essentially, the this portion is very similar, but this portion is longer and you know without measuring

2022 Volkl M6 Mantra Ski Review with SkiEssentials.com

 These are really great and they were super fun today for me to ski in all types of different conditions. Anyone on the west coast, especially on the east coast, this would be a great ski and holds a really great edge on any harder packed snow as well. Skis work differently for different types of skiers. If you need help finding the right skis for you, please reach out to myself or any of my fellow Curiated experts and we'll set you up on the right gear

 I've helped thousands of people find the right gear for them. Today we're at Powder Mountain here in Utah and we're testing the Volkl M6 Mantra. Just so you know, we're not sponsored by any of these ski brands. All of these reviews are completely unbiased

 It was very stable underfoot as well. The tailored T-Nil frame, which is something right along the edge of the ski here, makes it so the ski does not chatter throughout the turn and it's very stable as well. So I had a really fun time out there making my shorter radius turns and my longer radius turns. I really didn't experience any chatter whatsoever

2023 Volkl M6 Mantra Ski Review | Curated

Hey guys, 

i need some help deciding which backcountry skis to buy. I have been skiing the Volkl Gotama the past seven years, and they are totally fine for what they are - i only use them for resorting and off-piste. The Gotamas are really nice in deep powder, but they aren’t that playful and fun. I find them a bit to stiff, and not very agile. Its also worth noting that we don’t get deep powder every week, so it would be nice to have something that also works for harsher conditions. I currently have a pair of Salomon QST pro 100 boots that works fine for skinning, and i have decided on the Salomon Shift bindings. I will probably use them 70/30 resorting and skinning. Im 180cm and weight in at 80kg. I don’t have much experience skinning and i know weight is important, but i don’t feel like going narrower than 95 (feel free to argue against me). 

These are the skis that are currently available in my area:
- Volkl Mantra M6
- volkl Mantra 102
- Volkl Blaze 106
- Black Crows Navis Freebird
- Black Crows Camox Freebird
- Atomic Backland 100
- Atomic Backland 107
- K2 Wayback 106
- K2 Wayback 96
- Blizzard Zero G 105
- Blizzard Zero G 95
- Salomon N QST 106
- Salomon N QST 98

Thanks!
