The Volkl Mantra M7 is a strong, directional all-mountain ski that's stiff, stable, and ready to charge around the mountain. This latest generation of the Mantra is easily our favorite yet. From no camber to high camber, and traditional to untraditional, Volkl's been around the block when it comes to designing skis, so you can trust they're intentional with releasing a new design. The M7 Mantra differs from other Mantras with "4 Radius Drive". Entering the fourth dimension (we didn't even realize there were that many), this new sidecut design enhances the ski's adaptability to changing snow conditions and turn shapes. For 4 Drive, the sidecut updates are consolidated to the tip of the ski. The new sidecut simultaneously makes turn linkage smoother and keeps the tip more precise once you've locked into a turn. No more chatter (not that there was much to begin with). Volkl also updated the carbon tailoring in the tips to consolidate the material and keep the tip damp and tweaked the titanal frame for a more balanced flex. While these updates might sound like they've loosened the ski up, we found the M7 to be one of the chargiest skis in the all-mountain category these days. If precision, stability, and a smooth ride are all at the top of your list--whether at high speeds or low speeds--we think the Volkl Mantra M7 is well worth an upgrade.
