Volkl keeps up with the classics, there's no doubt about that. The 2021 Volkl M5 Mantra remains the same all-mountain ski that generations of skiers have come to embrace as really the flagship model of the all-mountain ski category. It's influential in terms of history and in a modern sense, it's still writing and re-writing the rules for what a ski can do. With the Mantra, the answer is quite simply, everything. Best suited for advanced and expert skiers who prefer high speeds and aggressive turns, the Mantra is a strong ski, but with a light and maneuverable personality. Thanks to the titanal frame and the wood core, Volkl's Mantra has all the basics down to take skiers all over the hill at high speeds and with minimal vibrations. The carbon tips and tails ensure a lighter swingweight while the ski as a whole makes some of the cleanest and roundest turns out there on the mountain. They have a metallic sound to them but when you get going fast, the skis quiet down and settle in for the ride. They love being pushed through turns, trees, bumps, and bowls, and they love to do it with little to no speed limit in sight. The faster they go, the calmer they get, and that's one of the enduring themes of the Mantra as a brand within a brand, and it carries through to the 2021 version as well.
