There’s only one ski that’s better than the Mantra M6: the Mantra M7. How do you improve a legend? You retain the features that made the ski famous and add the latest innovations, such as the new 4 Radius Drive sidecut technology, which allows progress where a year ago you couldn’t see any room to further push your limits. These next-generation skis are characterised by increased stability, liveliness and maneuverability and offer even more versatility for an exciting experience on and off the groomers. The secret to their enhanced performance lies in Völkl’s innovations: the Tailored Titanal Frame ensures stability, while the Tailored Carbon Tips provide responsiveness. In contrast to its predecessor, the M6 Mantra, the M7 Mantra uses 4 Radius Drive design – an advanced development of the proven 3D Radius Sidecut and an innovation from Völkl that is not yet found in any other model. With this technology, Völkl sets a new benchmark for the ability to vary the turn radius to combine easy handling with rock-solid stability. Maximum versatility for various snow conditions both on piste and off piste, with increased stability on hard surfaces and improved performance on soft snow. By adapting the Titanal components to the various ski lengths and thus to the skier’s proportions, not only can the tip and tail ends be weight-optimised, but the torsional stiffness can also be influenced, thereby improving the ride qualities. This retains the familiar stability of a Titanal ski while also making the Mantra M7 noticeably lighter and more agile to control. The handling characteristics of the Mantra M7 are also enhanced by the tailored carbon tip. The dedicated positioning of the carbon fibres results in a precise tip response and vastly improves the ski’s torsional stiffness. Together, these advancements redefine skiing possibilities, setting a new standard for enjoyment on the slopes.

The subtle tweaks that mark the new Völkl Mantra 88 Skis only serve to make it more dialed than ever. What's different? The carbon fibers in the tips no longer bend upward in a smile, but seem to be frowning at you - we're happy about the change, though, since it makes the ski bend into the turn a bit more smoothly and increases straightline stability at the high end. They've also adjusted the width of the Tailored Titanal Frame a tiny bit for a bit more torsional stiffness underfoot and less at the tip. End result, a hard charging ski with tons of power and edgehold to burn that will appeal to strong skiers who push the limits.
