Völkl M7 Mantra (Powder Ski 2025/2026)

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 allow 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.

Multilayer Woodcore
The side wall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core.

Tailored Carbon Tips
In this innovative manufacturing process the 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 the handling of the ski.

Tailored Titanal Frame
The new key technology is called Tailored Titanal Frame. In contrast to the previous design, the width of the titanal frame is now adapted exactly to each individual ski length. This results in Tailored Titanal Frames, which are positioned above the sidewall along the tip and tail area of the ski to provide the desired damping and torsional stiffness.

4 Radius Drive
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.
Radius 1:

• Approx. 20 m in the frontmost 10 centimeters
• A tighter radius only in the shovel to achieve a more immediate response to the skier‘s initial edge movement; maximum precision and agility

Radius 2:

• Approx. 40 m in the area between the shovel and the binding
• The open radius in the front part of the ski gives the ski more resistance to disturbances and stability at speed

Radius 3:

• Approx. 15 m in the area under the binding
• The tight radius in the camber area provides the ski with more agility even with slight edge movements of the skier, ensuring the necessary buildup of dynamics for short turns and radical carving curves.

Radius 4:

• Approx. 25 meters in the area behind the binding up to the ski end
• The moderate radius at the ski end ensures controlled and situation-adapted dynamics at the end of the turn and provides optimal support for transitioning into the next curve.

Full Sidewall ABS
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 long-lasting. These sidewalls allow for precise power transfer from the skier to the edges of the ski.

Base P-Tex 2100
A sintered high-density and high molecular polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.

Brushed

Serial Finish

Tip & Tail Rocker
Character: Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
