2026 Volkl Mantra 108 Skis

The 2026 Volkl Mantra 108 stands out as one of the most robust freeride skis available, boasting a stiff flex pattern and a directional shape that will push you to your limits on your next big mountain adventure. Ability Level: Advanced to Expert Weight: 2230 g per ski Sidecut: 146/108/129 mm at 177 cm length Sintered Base Poplar/Beech Wood Core Titanal Fiberglass Carbon MultiLayer Woodcore Tailored Titanal Frame The 2026 Volkl Mantra 108 is an unstoppable force, designed to crush everything in its path. Built with incredible strength and power, it charges through any snow condition at high speeds, maintaining perfect composure. Primarily designed for big mountain lines at fast speeds, the 108 offers unparalleled sturdiness. If you're on the right mountain at the right time, there are few skis that can match its performance. Why we like it: The Mantra 108’s powerful construction and shape make it perfectly suited for its intended purpose. Its ability to deliver outstanding stability and control at high speeds while maintaining an uncompromising design is what we appreciate most. It excels in its specific role, not catering to the general skier but offering unmatched precision for those who need it. Who it's for: The Mantra 108 is ideal for advanced to expert directional freeride skiers who require a ski that remains stable at high speeds. Skiers with a less playful style, focused more on aggressive and controlled descents, will find the most success with this model. Highlights: Volkl's 3D Radius sidecut provides three distinct turn radii depending on which section of the ski is engaged. The tip, underfoot zone, and tail each feature tailored sidecuts for optimal performance. The Tailored Titanal Frame includes a full sheet of titanal under the core, with a segmented frame above the core to provide specific flex characteristics in each part of the ski. This design offers excellent edge grip while ensuring enough forgiveness for intuitive handling. Things to consider: The Mantra 108 is highly specialized, making it less versatile than other skis in this width. It’s best suited for specific skiing styles and conditions, rather than general use.
