Volkl Mantra 88 Flat Skis

The most versatile all-mountain freerider in state-of-the-art construction with an extremely wide range of use for experienced skiers who celebrate powerful turns in all terrain and on all slopes. The Mantra comes with a different geometry and a centre radius shortened by one metre in the 3D Radius Sidecut. It is important to know that the three different radii combined in one ski generally ensure enormously versatile cornering characteristics. The 16m radius in the centre increases the radius variability even more. Lovers of tight, fully edged, cut turns in particular will get their money's worth here. This allows for a particularly sporty, intuitive skiing style on groomed pistes, but also ensures the necessary manoeuvrability for better manoeuvrability in demanding terrain. Thanks to the shortened centre radius, less effort is also required. The Mantra 88 also features Tailored Carbon Tips and a Tailored Titanal Frame, making it clear that riding fun is the Mantra's middle name.

The Tailored Titanal Frame, which is used on the Mantra, Secret, Kendo and Kenja, is a further development of the familiar Titanal frame. With this design, the width of the Titanal topsheet can be adapted to the length of the ski and the resulting torsional rigidity as well as the required damping behaviour for the skier. The proportion of Titanal is reduced for shorter ski lengths, so that smaller or lighter skiers can also get the most out of their skis with little effort. The Mantra 88 is extremely versatile thanks to the Tailored Carbon Tips. The carbon fibres applied using the Tailored Fibre Placement process (TFP for short) allow optimum control of cornering behaviour. The thickness and orientation of the fibres define the required force and energy build-up exactly where it is needed. The agile blade retraction is a particularly positive feature. This means that the ski can be skied round the bend in a controlled and easy manner as soon as the turn is initiated. You could say you just think about changing direction and it's done. In addition, this construction enables a lower weight without any loss of stability.

Also built into the Mantra 88 with tip & tail rocker is the tried-and-tested Multilayer Woodcore, surrounded by a continuous sidewall and P-Tex 2100 base.

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 // easy steering and maneuverability // disruption resistant at the tip // no radius limitation and ease of turn exit TIGHT CENTER RADIUS Usage of shorter radius in the center for short turns and lower speed // extremely easy to initiate short turns // strikingly agile // effortless and smooth in short turns.

Multilayer Woodcore 1

 ⌄  >

The side wall is laminated to extremely stable layers of wood on the sides of the sandwich core. In combination with a more flexible, lighter wood built into the center of the sandwich core construction provides numerous advantages: The hardwood part immediately adjacent to the sidewall effects a higher power transmission, improves the edge grip and supports the edge against external forces. The low weight of the softwood part in the middle of the ski brings more agility and maneuverability and reduces overall ski weight. The combination of both wood types running through the entire ski length contributes to an optimal distribution of the ski stiffness increasing the steering precision. It is the first and only sidewall/core technology intended for aggressive on-piste and racing use and capable of delivering the victory and defeat, even if it is measured in hundredths of seconds.

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. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fiber thickness and millimeter-precise alignment. In this way, the fibers guide the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort and quickly build up energy. The Tailored Carbon Tips thus reach a new level of precision, direct tip response and active skiing pleasure.

Tailored Titanal Frame

 ⌄  >

Volkl's 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. The size of the frames is tailored to the skier's height, skiing ability and power. This means that longer ski models have a higher titanal content for more stiffness, more direct power transmission and stronger dampening. The shorter the length, the lower the titanal content, which makes the ski more agile, so that smaller, lighter and less powerful skiers can use the full potential performance of the ski. In addition to the Tailored Titanal Frames, a second, thinner titanal layer is located in the binding area, which gives the ski the necessary strength, but also agility. The result: the Tailored Titanal Frame technology provides an incomparable combination of agility and high speed control.
