PRODUCT DETAILS

Description:

The 2024 Volkl Mantra 102 skis blurs the line between all-mountain and freeride categories. Its shape and construction are basically the same as the newly revised Kendo, but in a wider profile. With a 102-millimeter waist, it will deliver better float in soft snow and powder. With Volkl's Multi-Layer wood core, Titanal Frame, and Carbon Tips, it's a very strong ski with a stiff flex pattern. The 170 cm length weighs 2080 g, so it's fair to say the Mantra 102 is on the heavier side of the spectrum. It has tip and tail rocker, but there's not much splay, which translates to a long effective edge, but more challenging maneuverability in technical terrain and deeper snow conditions. Volkl also uses their 3D Radius technology, which features a shorter radius underfoot with longer radii in the tips and tails. Those tip and tail dimensions are pretty big, which means the Mantra 102 should be able to make some big arcs, and should be able to do it through pretty choppy or less than ideal snow conditions. The Mantra 102 is a hefty ski with a burly build, so it's really meant for expert skiers who like to drive a stiff, powerful ski. If you are the type of skier who likes a stiff, but versatile ride, loves long arcs and hard snow, but holds up well through chop and skis powder very well, the Volkl Mantra 102 skis are just for you.

Features:

  • Rocker Type
    Rocker Camber Rocker Gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow.
  • Core
    Multi-Layer Wood Core The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood around.
  • Laminates
    Titanal Frame is an isotropic high-tech aluminium alloy that has direct power transfer, great dampening, and stability, creating a powerful and precise ski
  • Sidewalls
    Full Sidewall
  • Turn Radius
    30​/19​/27 @ 1843D Radius (Tip/Mid/Tail) is a scale of which the turning radius depends on where the weight is put on the ski.

Technology:

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

Tailored Titanal Frame:

Our 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.

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.

Tip & Tail Rocker:

Character: Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle

Full Sidewall:

Direct and strong powertransmission with full length sidewalls.

Multilayer Woodcare 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.
