I have the 184 cm M6. I discovered how good they are within the first 100 yards skiing on them. They really do it all. Bumps, Trees, Bowls, carving the front side, no problem. Highly recommended!
I bought these a few weeks ago. I used to primarily ski racing slalom skis, east coast ice. These skis are fun. I’m still not yet fully appreciating the 3 different radii, but I’m looking forward to getting into them.
Mantra in 1995? That was the Explosiv. The first Mantra (black) came out in 2005/06. The 2006/07 Mantra with red background and white sword graphics is the first Mantra I bought. Those 2 plus the 2007/08 are the M1, 94mm underfoot. The 2012/13 Mantra with the dragon graphics is my all-time favorite 98mm underfoot ski. It is one of the 3 skis of the M3 family.
Hi Phil! How does M6 Mantra compare to K2 Mindbender? I am looking for tighter sharper high speed control (as compared to my Volkl Blaze 2021 108 underfoot at long 186cm). PS I have 184 Volkl Vertigo for 10 years of high performance all mountain. WHich is the modern version of that ski???
How would it compare to the Decon...... I felt the Decon sucked in the moguls & tree runs ..but absolutely balls to the wall insanely awesome on the flats
i don’t know what 1m78 is i’m sorry, but i’m 6 foot 1 and i ski with 177s, i have been since i was around 5’10. i always reccomend a 177 for grown male adults because it is just an excellent universal size, but if you really wanted to find your sweet spot, most ski resorts that have ski shops in them will let you demo skis for a very small fee, and you will more than likely be able to demo them for a full day. hope this helped
The concept of three side cuts is a ridiculous attempt at marketing while ignoring the fundamentals on a how a ski works. While a ski manufacturer may establish such measurements in the tip, waist and tail, it is still going to have only one basic turn radius. The manufacturer is actually suggesting that if you adjust your stance to the forward, middle or rear, the ski will turn at a different radius which is absolutely 100% false. This is nothing more than another version of the tapered shovel that has been in powder skis for over a decade. Manufacturers will be constantly playing with the minds of skiers, 99% percent of whom could never spot the difference in a blind review.
All you people on UA-cam who are always promoting the latest product as the Best is starting to become boring and not believable why don’t you just film a TV commercial 😂

M6s are the best skis of 21-22

For experts, yes?
I got a chance to ski the Mantra 102 last year and I really enjoyed it... I am going to try to get on this ski this year..
