Great info and overview Why such a gloss over on the Mantra M6?

[@blangeleven]

I've been on the previous Mantra 102 for a couple seasons and while I love how predictable and stable it is at really high speeds, I do love the idea of dialing it back a bit and making it a bit more accessible at slower speeds. I'm keen to try the new version.

Women buy skis too. No mention of the women's line?

[@MeanLaQueefa]

Most manufacturers like Fischer aren’t making different skis for women, they offer different colors but are the same ski.

[@Sokolva]

Agreed. Volkl does market and make skis specifically for women but didn’t talk about any of them. Fair enough if they do go unisex, but they haven’t. And I’d say “most” manufacturers have not gone unisex. Aside from Fischer being a prominent one that is vocal about that, I don’t know that many of the big or even smaller brands that do not offer a women’s line or several women’s lines.

@@Sokolvathe construction is the same. All being said applies equally to the secret line

Why are they admitting they make skis that too hard too ski? LOL
