Völkl Mantra 88 Skis 2026

The Völkl Mantra 88 Skis 2026 are powerful, metal-laminate all-mountain skis with an 88 mm waist, multilayer wood core, and 3D Radius Sidecut—built for strong skiers who want race-like edge grip and precise, versatile turns on firm snow.

Why the Mantra 88 Works So Well

• Frontside power with all-mountain versatility: At 88 mm underfoot, the Mantra 88 is narrow enough to rail hardpack yet wide enough to stay composed in mixed, off-trail snow.
• 3D Radius Sidecut: A shorter radius underfoot and longer radii in tip and tail let you roll from quick, short turns to longer, GS-style arcs just by changing your stance and edge angle.
• Tailored Titanal Frame: A tuned Titanal frame is thicker around your foot and tapers toward tip and tail for huge edge grip and damping without feeling like a plank.
• Tailored Carbon Tips: Carbon fiber in the shovel is precisely laid up to boost torsional stiffness where you need it, cut chatter, and keep the ski quick to engage.
• Multilayer wood core: A poplar/beech multilayer core balances liveliness and stability so the ski feels energetic yet planted when you’re charging.
• Rocker / camber / rocker profile: Subtle tip and tail rocker help with initiation and release, while camber underfoot keeps a ton of edge on snow for serious grip.
• Built for speed and confidence: Full sidewall construction and a P-Tex 2100 sintered base give you race-room style power transfer and durable, fast glide.

Ideal For

The Mantra 88 is ideal for advanced to expert skiers who love carving groomers, blasting through chopped-up snow, and skiing fast with a precise, directional feel. It’s a frontside-biased all-mountain ski that shines on firm snow days and in mixed conditions, and it suits skiers who prefer a strong, business-like ski over something super playful or surfy.
