Volkl Mantra V.Werks Ski Review - VIDEO

  • Online
    2020-02-16 06:31:14
    Volkl's new Mantra V.Werks Skis are a combination of the aggressive performance found in the V-Werks Katana Skis and the tourability and lightweight of the V-Werks BMT 109's. This qualifies the Mantra V.Werks as a ‘quiver of one’ ski that can rip resort laps as good as it can session backcountry bowls all the while making every turn as fun as the last.
     
    While not technically designed as a backcountry-specific ski, the Mantra V.Wekrs carbon jacket and wood core are light enough to keep you happy even though this is a high-performance freeride ski at heart. More on this in the rest of the review here.
