Völkl Mantra (Page 6)
Strengths:
Long turns, spring snow, cushions, steep
Weaknesses:
Well, my delamed. Heard about several people with the same problem, both with Mantran and with Precursor Explosive. Have sent them to Völkl now and hope I can get next year's model. The living must see.
Summary:
Bought them at the start of the season in Chamonix. Have gone on them since then and like them well. Have driven just about all conditions, possibly bottomless to be unrecognized for when it came a meter there was good bearing on the snow. If it is icy, windpack and crowd as far as you can see, there is little chance of getting them fixed. However, if it is softer it is no problem at all. As previous reviewers write, it is easy to accelerate from the turn and you get a nice kick out of the skis. I am also very pleased with the vibrancy. I had the opportunity to compare with a pair of heavier, wider Apache Cheif, and the difference was great. Both of them feel more or less like taking a train when they set them in the drop-down, with the difference that Mantran had the same control over me as the briot train when you were little, the apache as a 200-ton freight train at full speed when the beard stuck in the rails. This is obviously due to my riding technique, which could be described as marginal under development. The fact remains; a fun skiing for most conditions.

Weaknesses:
to be the ski it's so I can not find any weaknesses ...
Certainly there are skis that are better offpst skiing, there are better piste skis. BUT, as an all-round ski, it's so far the best thing I've had the pleasure to try.
Well, it's a weakness .. I'm in love but can not afford o buy !!!

Strengths:
Good grip, wonderful flowing both in 4 dm pads in Gopshus and raised slaughtering piste, you can drive really fast with these, after all, some swing in the skidorma also ....
Twisty and quite hard to get a really nice feel to the surface
Weaknesses:
The skis come a little short when you get into a really hard piste, they feel like they're a little fat in that situation.
But on the other hand, like these skis, you probably do not have to be the only couple if you're doing so badly, so they really have problems or
Summary:
I do not regret replacing the old XX-arna even though the economy was a bit tight.
Have not had such fun late ...... do not remember when
The disadvantage is that you want to go out as soon as they get a little new, come in well for the workmoor ....
Model year: 2006
Riding style: telemark pist pads, other skis in the case are old race skates Salomon 2V and 3V
Length on the ski: 177 cm
Riders weight: 80 kg

Strengths:
a beautiful skate in the loose lane and soft ground goes like the train ...
Weaknesses:
Not the world's funniest in hard pist, but it's not meant to be used to :) :)
Summary:
Went on it for 9 days during a tour of Canada, the ski is a cannon in fog and pist as long as the surface is not getting too hard. Felt like a ski ride on earlier .. not so much carving feeling which made the speed of stability the cannon even without "lying" on the turn.

Strengths:
Seems it is a relatively easy slope considering the measurements. Have a fantastic much better kangrepp and stiffness compared to other skis in the same dimensions. Works terribly well as alpine layer m naxo binding and as telescope (184cm) with 22design binding. The absolute best team I tested this year that can drive all over the mountain with the kick in the turn even when it's a bit harder. Additional extra points for the porniest sound of all of them!
Weaknesses:
N / A
Summary:
Sweeping the banana with all the others I tested this year (Scott, Salomon, Ross, Extrem ...) Highly recommended to those who want a ski that returns when pressed properly.
Model year: 2006
Riding style: Burnt and hard, Pillows

Strengths:
even me who is not so good thought it was a really fun skiing :-)
took me safe and fast down the hill.
have never been on such wide skiing before, but it was easier than I thought. The groundwork was admittedly easy.
Weaknesses:
no what i discovered.
Summary:
became a bit in love with it and would like to try it again. I tested it in the piste (only a bit outside) and just a few yokes.
have for me that it was 184 i tested, may have been 177 ..

Strengths:
Good grip
Incredibly witty side to side to be 94 under foot.
speed Stable
Lightly wired, it's no problem to slash the back end if it gets crowded. 191 did not feel too far.
Weaknesses:
In spite of the braid grip, it will be difficult in high lumps on hard surfaces (think frustrated manchester) but it is obvious that the ski is for.
The middle mark felt well behind me, could have mounted a few cm, but it may be due to the habit.
Summary:
Only tested in the piste of the seal and trysil
Very fun skiing! Gets to press hard if you want to, but go on to slow down and still have fun.

Strengths:
Even with my x number of kilos, these as on rails in the ground go so much knit and "soft" forsky. Just to sit down, give gas and drive laaange swings at high speed.
If you have something to do with it, then it works well as crusing skiing for big turns.
Weaknesses:
Do you forget that this will be a kind of compromise between the broadest powder planks and the toughest speed machine, I have not noticed a single weakness.
Maybe I would like an even longer skiing .... chipset ...
Summary:
Unfortunately because of the miserable weather here in Norway, so there has not been a powder, often dull yet. But considering the second ski I drove a lot of powder with the Alps last year, this should be a winner like all-round skiing. Not too specialized, can be used for "everything" and is relatively easy run. So undehamed to run that I MUST even if it's crappy artificial snow is in the piste. And then they look cool, not too glorious, but anonymous and cool design. So, of course, I went to the purchase of a pair, so after 13 or something like skiing ... just a little breiere skiing than typical bakkeski!

Strengths:
+ Stable
+ Torsional rigid
+ Easily genuine
+ Good flow in pillows and even in worse offpist conditions
+ Works incredibly well in the pistemap. waist circumference
+ The remarkable metal sound is damn tough
Weaknesses:
Given what the ski is meant for, ie. the whole mountain, I have nothing to complain about! Of course, my Stöckli Laser SC with 63 mm below the foot has better edge grip, but on the other hand they are worthless off the piste ...
Summary:
Absolutely beautiful skiing for the whole mountain! Have a rather aggressive rider style and preferably drive long turns at high speed, which I thought fit perfectly, regardless of the surface! In summary, the skis exceeded my expectations both inside and outside the piste.
And for those who think of purchasing a pair of Mantra, I can say that they are worth every penny !!!
Thank you Völkl!
