 There's really not much tail rocker back there whatsoever. Just a tiny little bit of rise in this ski, but then very squared, flat tail, inspired by a race ski for sure. And then up here in the tip, we get a little bit more tip rocker than tail rocker, really helping to smooth out turn initiation. Just gives this ski a really good tip in performance

 You don't see it in the sidewall construction. The construction of this ski is a little bit different than those TI80 and the Bold models. And the performance of this ski is kind of relying more on tri-axial fiberglass that's woven through the ski. Very proven material in skis, gives good vibration damping, good torsional stiffness, but doesn't have the weight of metal

 But with ski performance, it's not really that cut and dry. Sometimes you really have to think about the intention and the performance of each model and think about what's right for you, what's most beneficial for you as a skier. And I think there's a lot of people out there where this ski is going to be more beneficial than those stiffer, heavier skis. So that's the S-Force FX80 from Salomon

 It doesn't feel like it needs to go like 40 miles an hour to come alive. It performs really well at moderate speeds, on moderate pitches, stuff like that. So say you're exploring the whole mountain and you don't ski super, super fast, this may actually be a better choice, even though you know, it's not at the top of the line. I think sometimes as consumers, it's easy for us to think like, that one's the best because it's at the top

2022 Salomon S/Force FX.80 - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

 Hey skiers, I'm Jeff from SkiEssentials.com.

 Right here we've got the Salomon S-Force FX80.

 This ski takes the performance and the characteristics of kind of the flagship S-Force models, the

 Bold and the TI80 and repackages it with a slightly different construction, makes it

 a little bit more approachable for a less aggressive skier or maybe somebody in the

 So definitely still in the kind of crossover frontside slash all-mountain category at

 Pretty much everything else about the ski, its shape, its design elements, all that kind

 of stuff, does lean more towards the carving side of things than versatility.

 It's not like a super versatile all-mountain ski, but it's a fantastic wide carving ski.

 So we get a popular wood core in this ski.

 Unlike the Bold and the TI80, you don't get two sheets of metal in this ski.

 Salomon still lists it in their catalog as having a single metal laminate.

 You don't see it in the sidewall construction.

 The construction of this ski is a little bit different than those TI80 and the Bold models.

 And the performance of this ski is kind of relying more on tri-axial fiberglass that's

 Very proven material in skis, gives good vibration damping, good torsional stiffness, but doesn't

 So it makes the ski a little bit more approachable.

 In terms of shape, 80 underfoot, somewhat obviously.

 This 177 has a 17 meter turn radius, so a nice middle-of-the-road turn radius there.

 They're going to make a nice round turn shape, mostly camber underfoot in these skis.

 There's really not much tail rocker back there whatsoever.

 Just a tiny little bit of rise in this ski, but then very squared, flat tail, inspired

 And then up here in the tip, we get a little bit more tip rocker than tail rocker, really

 Just gives this ski a really good tip in performance.

 When you put it on edge, it's going to enter a carving turn, loves to carve, loves to turn.

 So performance of these skis, like I said at the beginning of this video, they do share

 a lot of characteristics with the Bold and the TI80.

 You don't get quite as much power, you don't get quite as much vibration damping out of

 So it's not quite as tiring, it's a little easier to manipulate.

 And those two things are really valuable characteristics for a less aggressive skier or somebody kind

 of in the intermediate ability level range.

 Say you're still working on your carving turns, you know, you don't feel like you've perfected

 I think this is a really, really good ski for a skier like that.

 Or you know, you have very accomplished technique, you're a really good skier, but you don't

 You know, you don't need the two sheets of metal in those stiffer, heavier models.

 This ski may be a better choice for you, a little bit more responsiveness at slower speeds.

 It doesn't feel like it needs to go like 40 miles an hour to come alive.

 It performs really well at moderate speeds, on moderate pitches, stuff like that.

 So say you're exploring the whole mountain and you don't ski super, super fast, this

 may actually be a better choice, even though you know, it's not at the top of the line.

 I think sometimes as consumers, it's easy for us to think like, that one's the best

 But with ski performance, it's not really that cut and dry.

 Sometimes you really have to think about the intention and the performance of each model

 and think about what's right for you, what's most beneficial for you as a skier.

 And I think there's a lot of people out there where this ski is going to be more beneficial

 So that's the S-Force FX80 from Salomon.

 Let us know if you have any questions about it as usual, and we'll see you guys out there

Consumer Reports

The Volkl M6 Mantra has truly earned our approval as the best all-mountain ski, keeping the Mantra series atop the podium once again. With high scores across all testing metrics, the M6 transmits a magnetic and confidence-inspiring ride to the skier through all types of terrain and snow conditions. Whether the forecast is unclear and snow conditions uncertain, staying true to your “Mantra” is what we recommend. With three of Volkl’s Tailored Technologies underfoot, be prepared to tackle anything the mountain throws your way.
This year Volkl introduces their 3D Radius Sidecut technology to the M6 Mantra. Boasting three different turn radii within the side of the ski, the M6 can achieve a different turn outcome depending on skier input. This new technology admittedly took some getting used to. However, we found the tech especially helpful when merging onto a new run with more traffic or exiting a mogul field back onto the groomer. The M6 Mantra is on the damp side of the spectrum for skis. But we can’t complain when the overall result is the superior combination of stability and maneuverability that this ski offers through icy groomers, afternoon chop and slop, and deep pow days.

Switchback Travel

On the heels of the extremely successful and well-loved M5, Volkl hasn’t rocked the boat too much with the new M6 Mantra. It remains an extremely powerful and precise all-mountain option that’s perfectly happy in the hands of hard chargers at speed. Volkl did make some tweaks to the Titanal Frame construction: shorter skis now have less metal and are a little softer, while longer options are stronger with more metal. You also get the brand’s 3D Radius (also found in the Kendo below), which effectively gives the ski three different turn radii. In practice, it’s pretty impressive, and the M6 feels comfortable at everything from tight and quick turns to wide GS sweepers.

It’s a close call between the M6 and Nordica Enforcer above, and both are versatile, standout models. In parsing out the differences, the Mantra is noticeably wider at the tip (by 8mm), and its stiffer build gives it the advantage in terms of stability. But the Nordica is more comfortable in tight spaces with its nimble, easier-to-manage flex (this also makes it a better option for intermediate-level skiers). Both are excellent one-quiver options for riders that spend the majority of their time on groomers or in regions with moderate snowfall. We think the Nordica is a bit more well-rounded, but if you prioritize unflappable performance in nearly all conditions, the M6 Mantra is hard to beat.See the Volkl M6 Mantra  See the Women's Volkl Secret
