The Völkl M7 Mantra builds on legendary all-mountain performance with next-generation technology that pushes versatility, stability, and maneuverability further than ever before. Designed for skiers who demand confidence on hardpack while still thriving in variable and soft snow, the M7 Mantra delivers a powerful yet agile ride across the entire mountain. At the heart of the ski is Völkl’s new 4 Radius Drive sidecut, an evolution of the proven 3D Radius concept that allows effortless turn variation without sacrificing edge hold or composure at speed. The Tailored Titanal Frame adapts to each ski length, optimizing weight, torsional stiffness, and stability based on skier size, while Tailored Carbon Tips enhance precision and responsiveness. The result is a ski that feels lighter and more energetic than previous generations, yet remains rock-solid on firm snow and impressively capable when conditions soften.
Intended for aggressive on-piste and racing use, Volkl’s Multilayer Woodcore features a sidewall that’s laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core. The hardwood immediately adjacent to the sidewall delivers higher power transmission, improves edge grip, and supports the edge against external forces. The softer wood in the middle of the ski brings more agility and maneuverability and reduces overall ski weight. The combination of both wood types running through the entire ski length contributes to an optimal distribution of the ski stiffness and increases the steering precision.
Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibers onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines, opening up completely new possibilities, for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on the handling of the ski. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment. In this way, the fibers guide the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed.
Volkl’s Tailored Titanal Frame provides an incomparable combination of agility and high-speed control. The width of the titanal frame is adapted exactly to each individual ski length and sits above the sidewall along the tip and tail area to provide the desired damping and torsional stiffness. The size of the frame is tailored to the ski length, so longer ski models have a higher titanal content for more stiffness, more direct power transmission, and stronger damping. Shorter-length skis have less titanal content, so that smaller, lighter, and less powerful skiers can use the full potential performance of the ski.
A Völkl innovation not yet offered by any other manufacturer. With this technology, Völkl sets a new benchmark for the ability to vary the turn radius and combine easy handling with rock-solid stability. This new design provides maximum versatility for various snow conditions both on piste and off piste, increased stability on hard surfaces, and improved performance on soft snow.
Volkl’s Tip & Tail Rocker bends up only in the shovel and tail zones. Camber underfoot ensures edge contact through the length of the ski. Tip & Tail Rocker provides easy-in/easy-out turning on hardpack and enhanced floatation in soft snow.
