Völkl M7 Mantra Skis 2026

The Völkl M7 Mantra Skis 2026 are powerful, metal-reinforced, 96 mm-waisted all-mountain chargers built for aggressive skiers who want race-level edge grip, rock-solid stability, and the ability to change turn shapes on demand.

Why the M7 Mantra Is So Impressive

• Legend, upgraded: The seventh-generation Mantra keeps the damp, confidence-inspiring feel the series is known for, then adds new 4 Radius Drive sidecut tech to make it more versatile and intuitive at every speed.
• 4 Radius Drive sidecut: Four distinct radii are blended along the ski, so you can snap short turns, dial in medium carves, or let it run in big, high-speed arcs just by adjusting pressure and edge angle.
• Tailored Titanal Frame: Metal reinforcement is tuned by length and concentrated along the perimeter of the ski for huge edge hold, vibration damping, and high-speed composure without feeling like a dead plank underfoot.
• Tailored Carbon Tips: Precisely placed carbon fibers in the shovel boost torsional stiffness and responsiveness while trimming swing weight, making tip engagement quicker and reducing chatter in variable snow.
• Multilayer wood core: A hardwood/softwood multilayer woodcore pairs powerful edge grip and energy transfer near the sidewalls with a lighter, more agile feel through the center of the ski.
• Tip & tail rocker with camber underfoot: Subtle rocker in the ends helps the ski plane in soft snow and release easily, while camber underfoot keeps a long, grippy edge on firm and icy pistes.
• Full ABS sidewall + sintered base: Full sidewalls drive your input straight to the edges, and the P-Tex 2100 sintered base is durable and fast when properly waxed.

Who It’s For

The M7 Mantra is ideal for advanced and expert skiers who like to ski fast, drive the front of their boots, and prefer a strong, directional feel over something super playful or surfy. It loves groomers, chalk, mixed snow, and chopped leftovers, but has enough tip rocker and width to handle storm-day soft snow and freeride lines. If you want one mid-fat ski that feels composed everywhere, this is it.
