The new Mantra 102 is a tank. We were excited to test these skis after they got updated with a carbon tip and size specific metal. The old Mantra 102 (before 2022) wasn't worth writing home about, it lacked energy, was difficult to initiate a precise turn with, and felt heavy underfoot. The 2023 Mantra 102 is none of those things. It's nimble and quick enough to slash and slarve through tight terrain or softer snow but is by no means nervous. It feels stable at speed, but not dead, and has good power undefoot to lay down some mean turns for a ski over 100mm. In comparison to the more narrow Mantra M6 the Mantra 102 is a bit less precise, slightly more playful and it pivots better. If you really do like exploring terrain all over the resort there aren't many skis that can offer this kind of power or stability in a wider waisted platform.
- Rocker Type
- Tip & Tail Rocker – Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
- Sidecut
- 3D Radius Sidecut – Three radii in one ski shape deliver maximum versatility - long radii at the tip and tail for stability and smoothness, and a short radius in the mid-body allows the skier to switch from long arcs to short turns at will, at any speed.
- Core
- Multilayer Woodcore – The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood surrounding it.
- Laminates
- Titanal Frame – A Titanal Frame with a thickness of 0,7 mm is integrated along the sidewall and into tip and tail area of the ski. This way the ski provides the stability and dampening that every experienced skier expects, at the most critical spots on the tip and tail of the ski. A second thinner Titanal layer (0,3 mm) under the binding delivers the necessary strength to the ski.
- Carbon Tips – Tip material layup for high reliability/stability at the lightest possible weight.
- Sidewalls
- Full Sidewall – Direct and strong power transmission with full length sidewalls.
- Base
- P-Tex 2100 – A sintered high-density and high molecular weight polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
- Binding Compatibility
- We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
