The Völkl Mantra 88 (which effectively replaces the previous Kendo 88 and Secret 88 women's model) is a high-performance all-mountain ski engineered for advanced and expert skiers who demand precision, powerful edge grip, and rock-solid stability, especially on groomed runs. At an 88 mm waist, it’s a dedicated frontside carver that retains enough width to handle varied resort conditions with confidence.
The ski’s signature stability and power come from Völkl’s advanced construction, featuring Tailored Technologies. The Multilayer Woodcore is reinforced by a Tailored Titanal Frame, where the width of the Titanal is adapted to each individual ski length, ensuring optimal power transmission and dampening while controlling weight. The ski also uses Tailored Carbon Tips, where precisely aligned carbon fibers are embroidered into the shovel to provide light swing weight and incredibly quick, precise turn initiation. This is all combined with Völkl's renowned 3D.Radius Sidecut, which uses a short radius underfoot for tight, quick turns, and longer radii in the tip and tail for stability at high speeds. The Tip & Tail Rocker ensures smooth turn initiation and a playful feel, even in a ski this powerful.
