Volkl M7 Mantra

The M7 Mantra is designed specifically for advanced to expert skiers. Because of its stiff titanal frame and demanding construction, it requires a confident, aggressive skiing style to control and engage properly; intermediates may find it too punishing or difficult to maneuver.

A 96mm waist is the 'sweet spot' for all-mountain versatility. It is narrow enough to provide quick edge-to-edge transitions and solid grip on hardpack or icy groomers, yet wide enough to offer decent float and stability when you venture into softer snow or light powder.

The 4 Radius Drive allows you to vary your turn shape seamlessly. It blends different radii along the edge, meaning you can make long, high-speed sweeping turns or tighten things up for shorter, slalom-style arcs without the ski feeling locked into a single turn shape.

Not at all. While the titanal frame provides the power and dampening needed for high-speed stability, the addition of tailored carbon tips keeps the swing weight low. This combination gives you a ski that feels planted and authoritative, but still responsive and energetic when you initiate a turn.

It is a true 50/50 ski. It excels at carving on front-side groomers thanks to its strong edge hold and sandwich construction, but it is equally capable in the backcountry or freeride terrain where you need stability to cut through crud and variable snow.
