The new Mantra 84 is the perfect choice for all experienced skiers who enjoy a sporty and playful ride on groomed slopes, but can’t deny that they’ve got a bit of freeride in their blood.

With the narrow waist of the 84, Völkl is launching a model that meets customers’ demands for performance in turns, outstanding versatility and easier, less strenuous handling in challenging piste and snow conditions.

This flexibility is made possible, amongst other things, by the tried-and-tested Völkl 3D Radius sidecut, which, thanks to short radii under the binding, ensures greater responsiveness and facilitates compact turns on and off-piste without the ski feeling too aggressive overall. Long radii at the tail and tip, on the other hand, allow for excellent manoeuvrability with the Völkl Mantra 84, even at high speeds and during wide turns.

• P-Tex 2100 base

Technology:

Multilayer Woodcore
The sidewall continues into the interior of the ski in the form of extremely stable layers of wood directly bonded to the flanks of the sandwich core. Combined with a more flexible, lighter wood in the centre of the sandwich core, this construction offers numerous advantages: The hardwood section within the sidewall ensures increased power transfer, contributes to better edge grip and supports the edge when subjected to external forces. The softwood section in the centre of the ski provides greater agility and manoeuvrability thanks to its lower weight. The combination of both types of wood across the entire length of the ski contributes to optimal stiffness distribution and enables more precise ski control. This construction offers highly competitive skiers a combination of manoeuvrability and stability, which can make the decisive hundredths of a second between victory and defeat.

3D Radius Sidecut
Three radii in one ski for maximum responsiveness and speed in all-mountain conditions. Wider radius at the tip and tail – The wider radii at the tip and tail are ideal for wide turns and high speeds. Easy control and manoeuvrability. Less edge catch. No restriction on turn radii and easy exit from the turn. Tighter turn radius – The tighter radius in the middle favours tight turns and moderate speeds. Extremely easy turn initiation. Super responsive. Effortless and smooth in tight turns.

Base P-Tex 2100
Sintered, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene base with high density, excellent wear resistance and very good gliding properties.

Full Sidewall ABS
The specific synthetic material used in the sidewall enables precise and direct power transfer.

Tailored Titanal Frame
Völkl’s new key technology is called the Tailored Titanal Frame. In contrast to previous construction methods, the width of the Titanal frame is now precisely adapted to each individual ski length. This results in bespoke Tailored Titanal Frames, which lie over the sidewall at the tip and tail of the ski, providing the desired damping and torsional stiffness in these areas. The size of the frames is tailored to the skier’s height, ability and strength. This means that longer models have a higher proportion of Titanal for greater stiffness, even more direct power transfer and stronger damping. The shorter the model, the lower the proportion of Titanal, which makes the ski more manoeuvrable, allowing even smaller and lighter skiers with less strength to make full use of the ski’s versatility. The result: Tailored Titanal Frame technology gives every ski an unrivalled combination of responsiveness and speed stability.

Tailored Carbon Tips
In the new, tailor-made carbon tips – the Tailored Carbon Tips – this innovative manufacturing process involves ‘embroidering’ the individual carbon fibres onto a substrate. This allows them to be positioned precisely along the lines of force, which opens up entirely new possibilities, particularly in the tip area. This is because the tip has a decisive influence on the ski’s handling. By adjusting the fibre thickness and aligning them with millimetre precision, stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically tailored. In this way, the fibres channel the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Tailored Carbon Tips are lightweight, enable an agile tip engagement with less effort and build up energy quickly. As a result, the Tailored Carbon Tips take precision, direct tip response and active skiing enjoyment to a whole new level.

Tip & Tail Rocker
Character: Rocker only in the tip and tail sections, camber in the binding area.
