The read

The M7 Mantra is Völkl's flagship advanced all-mountain ski built for groomers, mixed snow, powder, and moguls. Its four-radius-drive sidecut and rocker-camber-rocker profile support a medium-to-longer turn shape, while a tailored titanal frame and tailored carbon tips deliver damping with responsiveness. At the high end of the cohort in both weight and waist width, it rewards a strong, engaged skier who drives it across varied conditions.

Specs & what they mean

What the M7 Mantra's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

This sidecut layers several radii along the edge, shifting from shorter turns at lower speed to longer, steadier arcs as it's driven harder.

Stability & dampness

A partial titanal frame stiffens the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,090 g there's real mass behind it.

Float & width

At 96 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
