Such an incredibly versatile ski. I own Kendo 88s with the same construction but different name and they’re fun on an icy groomed trail and do well in heavy Cascade concrete as long as it’s not too deep.
0:20 It's the exact same ski as last year with new graphics and name. Only the Mantra 96 M7 got updated for 2025. The other Mantras like this 88 and the 102 will most likely get those same updates for 2026 model year.

shovel looks cool and very light. I wonder if they're doing that hollow thing that Kastle does, removing material from the tip area...
It's a metal frame on top with carbon stringers in the shovel. I suppose it's similar in effect to Kastle, but a very different design.
How does it compare to last year's kendo 88?
