Shiro, Mantra 2016 vs 2015 (czy ktos testowal?)

[Burdoror]

Czy ktos mial okazje testowac oba nowe modele?

Nie wiem, czy warto czekac na nowe wersje 2016, czy kupic teraz przy obnizkach 14/15?

 

I nadal nie moge podjac decyzji, Ktora z obu nart kupic. W sumie na boisko mam RTM, to wszechstronnosc Mantry nie jest mi az tak potrzebna.

Ehh, za duzo tych modeli, opcji.. czlowiek glupieje od samego patrzenia.

Volkl always seems to be ahead of the pack when it comes to new innovations in the ski industry, and what they are rolling out for 2016 is certainly no exception.  One key theme you will start to notice in most of the Volkl ski line this year is the utilization of their 3D Ridge that started in the V-Werks Katana, and has been showing up on more models each and every year.  Five or six years ago, companies were all about refining their rocker stories and now it seems companies are focused on cutting as much weight as possible.  This is where the 3D Ridge technology really steps up the game.  This mold also reduces the inertia around the center of the ski to a minimum and significantly enhances agility.  The 3D Ridge that was used on the V-Werks Katana and BMT lines in the past, is now seen on the 100Eight, 90Eight, and the higher end RTM skis.

2016 Volkl RTM Skis

As you can see, the RTM line for 2016 has received a complete overhaul in just about every aspect.  First and foremost, these skis are no longer reverse camber, which most people will be quite thankful for, especially the traditionalist rider.  As previously mentioned, they also feature the 3D Ridge design which really helps cut weight on these often heafty and heavy carving skis.  Possibly the coolest innovation I have seen in a while is the integrated binding system.  I know your thinking, “integrated bindings, that’s nothing new.”  Take a closer look at the image and you will see the term “integrated bindings” has new meaning.

 

New RTM Integrated Binding System

The 2016 Volkl RTM line are the only skis where the track binding system is built into the core of the ski.  This will drastically improve the weight and also power transmission from boot, to binding, to ski.  The two highest end skis in the line, the RTM 86 UVO and RTM 84 UVO, both feature the Ultimate Vibration Object, or UVO.  This is essentially a free floating 360 degree vibration absorbing tool which allows the engineers at Volkl to use lighter weight ski construction without sacrificing any performance.  It is also worth noting that the V-Werks RTM from last year is no longer available in lieu of these high end RTM UVO models.  Next down the line we have the RTM 81 and the RTM 78, meant for the more casual. recreational skier.  These skis are powered by steel instead of Titanium and do not have the UVO piece, which will keep the cost down and ease of use high.

Some other major changes for this year are in the All Mountain line.  For this category, everything over 100mm underfoot is now reverse camber and anything under will have camber combined with tip, and sometimes tail rocker.  I am sorry to inform all of the lovers of the famed Volkl Gotama, it is no longer in the Volkl lineup — sort of.  While the popular name of the Gotama will no longer be in circulation, there is still a ski that is pretty much the same, the all new 100Eight.  You still get the reverse camber and 108mm footprint, but the 100Eight now offers a lighter package due to the 3D ridge technology mentioned earlier.  We have had some employees test this ski and the feedback is that it feels almost identical to the previous year Gotama.

From Left to Right: 100Eight, 90Eight, 100Eight W, Aura, Kenja

Next down the line is the 90Eight, which will essentially take over last years (reverse camber) Bridge.  Now with camber underfoot and rocker in the tip and tail, you get a more versatile ski, and in my opinion, will do much better on hard snow than the bridge.  Similarly for the women, the Kiku (women’s Gotama) has now become the 100Eight W.  The new design of the Volkl Mantra and Aura last year were such a hit, all they updated here were the topsheet graphics.  Next down the All Mountain line, the Men’s Kendo and Women’s Kenja have received major updates as well.  The older models, while having tip rocker, were incredibly demanding and in my opinion not the most fun to ski all day long.  Now, by blowing out the tip shape a little, adding a bit of width, and giving you tail rocker, the ski is now much more user friendly and playful.  There are still two sheets of metal in these skis, so they are still meant for the expert riders.  Just in case anyone was wondering, the only changes in the big mountain line are topsheet graphics.  So, the One, Two, Three, and Shiro are structurally the same for 2016 as they were for 2015.

Now that you know what is in store for 2016, finish up 2015 with a bang, and give us a call to talk new skis!
