Product Summary
The ski in details
Whatever your style of descent – piste or terrain – the Mantra 88 can do it
With the redesigned Mantra 88, Völkl offers a medium waist-width model with modern features, that hits the core of current demands for maximum versatility on and off piste as well as powerful turns in all snow conditions. Redefined during the redesign, the new Mantra 88 comes with innovative Völkl technologies that now provide more dynamics, pop and accessibility. Among other things, the fibers of the Tailored Carbon Tips have been repositioned for improved agility and dynamics. Adapted as well are the radii of the 3D Radius Sidecut, underlining the flexibility of the technology. The underfoot radius of the Mantra 88 has been shortened by a meter for enhanced turn variety. The updates culminate in a ski with efficient power transmission and a sporty riding style that provides full control and more maneuverability on groomed slopes and in challenging terrain.
Technologies
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.
3D Radius Sidecut
Three radii in one ski for maximum turning & speed versatility in All Mountain skiing long Tip & Tail radius. Usage of long radii at tip and tail for big turns and high speed.
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.
