The Mana 2 with its versatile 102 mm waist is the sleekest in the family, making it the ideal tool to transition from all-mountain, to backside, to park. This is a high-quality, high-performance craft that effortlessly responds to your movements and your commands. Its lightweight Poplar Core construction helps the ski to pop off booters, butter over rollers, and whip effortlessly between turns. Yet the the Rubber/Carbon stomp pad keeps it strong enough to take hit after hit. Enjoy the finest, most durable Austrian construction, powered 100% by renewable energy.
You'll love this ski if:
- You like to hit every feature that you can find (the mountain is your playground)
- You like to carve tighter style turns
- You want to be able to go backwards or land switch
- You prefer a stiffer tip and tail for stability at speed, with flex underfoot to pop
- Lightweight Poplar Core
- Poplar is a medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. It allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski and have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.
- XL Full Strength Sidewall
- A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the top sheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the wood core, edges and top sheet from impact and outside damage.
- Mana Progressive Twin
- Inspired by Symmetrical freestyle skis, but tweaked for a free ride approach. A slightly skinnier tail than tip means this ski is faster and performs better on the downhill than a completely symmetrical ski. With moderately tapered tips and tails and a combination of generous rocker and modest camber result in a playful character which injects a new energy into everyday on the mountain.
- Mana Stance
- With regards to the Mana Series, the narrowest point of the ski is the center of the radius, which happens to be the most intuitive place from which to initiate pivoting the supernatural freestyle variety. Mounting here also works wonders for carving and popping off the back and front of your skis.
- Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad
- A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon/rubber reinforcement underfoot, above the edge, adds strength where it matters most to this performance-oriented ski. In addition to protecting the wood core from heavy-duty impact on rails, the carbon and rubber inlay adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, for both you and your skis.
- Anti Chip Micro Cap
- Mico-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski's top sheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
- Boat flex
- Heavy rocker is best complemented by solid stiffer tips and tails, to help settle the skis and power through variable snow. Additionally, the stiff tips absorb more vibration when skiers touch down after going airborne. Just add a touch more flex underfoot and it allows the skis to load up and POP on request.
- XL 2.5mm Edges
- 7 fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 35% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 1.8mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
- Elliptical Sidecut
- Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turns lengths, angles and mounting positions (stay tuned for our mounting guide).
- Sustainable Wood Core
- Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.
- 100% Renewable Energy
- This ski is produced in a cutting-edge facility that runs on electrical power that is 100% renewable. Additionally, its heating energy comes solely from biomass. The factory no longer uses oil, resulting in annual CO2 emissions reductions of a whopping 10 million kilograms.
- Locally Sourced Materials
- In an effort to reduce the impact of our supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based near our factories.
- Recycled Materials
- Working with our production partners to eliminate material waste, we now mix base, sidewall and top sheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality & durability.
