The Völkl Mantra 88 W Ski is built for women who ski the entire mountain with confidence and aren't willing to compromise between carving performance and all-mountain capability. Whether you're laying powerful arcs on freshly groomed corduroy or navigating chopped-up snow later in the day, the Mantra 88 W delivers the stability and precision to stay in control. Its 88 mm waist provides a versatile platform that feels quick edge-to-edge while remaining composed when conditions become variable. A Tailored Titanal Frame and Multilayer Wood Core combine to produce the smooth, damp ride Völkl's Mantra series is known for, while Tailored Carbon Tips reduce swing weight and make turn initiation feel quicker and more intuitive. The 3D Radius Sidecut allows the ski to naturally transition between short, energetic turns and longer GS-style arcs, giving experienced skiers the freedom to adapt their turn shape to the terrain. Subtle tip and tail rocker smooth out turn initiation and improve maneuverability without sacrificing the tenacious edge grip that inspires confidence on firm snow. For advanced and expert skiers looking for one ski that confidently handles everything from groomers to off-piste adventures, the Mantra 88 W is an outstanding all-mountain choice.
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.
Volkl’s new 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 handling. The stiffness and torsion can be specifically adjusted via the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort, and quickly build up energy.
Volkl’s new 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.
3D Radius Sidecut utilizes three radii in one ski shape to deliver maximum versatility—any turn, any shape, at any speed. Long radii at the tip and tail provide stability and smoothness, while a short radius in the mid-body allows the skier to switch from long arcs to shorts turns at will, at any speed.
ABS is a durable and resilient plastic known for its strength and impact resistance. It offers high resistance to shocks and impacts, making the ski more robust and durable. These sidewalls allow for precise power transfer from the skier to the edges of the ski.
A sintered high-density and high-molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
Straight from the factory to the mountain, Serial Finish ensures every ski is perfectly tuned for immediate performance. This precision-crafted surface treatment maximizes glide, sharpens turn initiation, and eliminates the need for additional prep work.
