How do you improve a legend? You retain the features that made the ski famous and add the latest innovations, such as the new 4 Radius Drive sidecut technology which allows progress where a year ago you couldn’t see any room to further push your limits.
These next-generation skis are characterised by increased stability, liveliness and maneuverability and offer even more versatility for an exciting experience on and off the groomers. The secret to their enhanced performance lies in Völkl’s innovations: the Tailored Titanal Frame ensures stability, while the Tailored Carbon Tips provide responsiveness.
In contrast to its predecessor, the M6 Mantra, the M7 Mantra uses 4 Radius Drive design – an advanced development of the proven 3D Radius Sidecut and an innovation from Völkl that is not yet found in any other model. With this technology, Völkl sets a new benchmark for the ability to vary the turn radius to combine easy handling with rock-solid stability. Maximum versatility for various snow conditions both on piste and off piste, with increased stability on hard surfaces and improved performance on soft snow.
By adapting the Titanal components to the various ski lengths and thus to the skier’s proportions, not only can the tip and tail ends be weight-optimised, but the torsional stiffness can also be influenced, thereby improving the ride qualities. This retains the familiar stability of a Titanal ski while also making the Mantra M7 noticeably lighter and more agile to control.
The handling characteristics of the Mantra M7 are also enhanced by the tailored carbon tip. The dedicated positioning of the carbon fibres results in a precise tip response and vastly improves the ski’s torsional stiffness.
Together, these advancements redefine skiing possibilities, setting a new standard for enjoyment on the slopes.

RADIUS DRIVE.
A Völkl innovation not yet offered by any other manufacturer. With this technology, Völkl sets a new benchmark for the ability to vary the turn radius and combine easy handling with rock-solid stability. This new design provides maximum versatility for various snow conditions both on piste and off piste, increased stability on hard surfaces, and improved performance on soft snow.
Radius 1:
Approx. 20 m in the frontmost 10 centimeters
A tighter radius only in the shovel to achieve a more immediate response to the skier‘s initial edge movement; maximum precision and agility
Radius 2:
Approx. 40 m in the area between the shovel and the binding
The open radius in the front part of the ski gives the ski more resistance to disturbances and stability at speed
Radius 3:
Approx. 15 m in the area under the binding
The tight radius in the camber area provides the ski with more agility even with slight edge movements of the skier, ensuring the necessary buildup of dynamics for short turns and radical carving curves.
Radius 4:
Approx. 25 meters in the area behind the binding up to the ski end
The moderate radius at the ski end ensures controlled and situation-adapted dynamics at the end of the turn and provides optimal support for transitioning into the next curve.
If you would like your skis set up and waxed, please send an e-mail sales@theski-shop.co.uk after placing your order with the following information below.
Please include your name and order number. Otherwise, skis will be sent out and will require waxing and setting up at your own convenience.
Skis with bindings drilled on will be classed as used and non-returnable unless faulty.
Information & details required from you for ski setup:
- Skier's Age.
- Skiers Height.
- Skiers Weight.
- Boot brand/make & sole length in millimeters. Usually found embossed on side of heels. eg 315mm
- Skier classification: Please pick one: Type -1, Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 3+
Type -1
Skiers looking for a lower release setting than type 1. Recommended for beginners over 25 years old.
Type 1
Ski conservatively. Prefer slower speeds. Ski on easy to moderate slopes. Intermediate level, but not in good physical fitness. Good skiers, but with smooth supple style, but emphasizing safety. Favour lower than average release/retention settings – This corresponds to increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased release capacity in a fall.
Type 2
Intermediate skiers in good physical condition. Prefer a variety of speeds. Ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails. All skiers who do not meet all the descriptions of the other types.
Type 3
Ski aggressively. Normally ski at high speeds. Prefer moderate to steep terrain. Favour higher than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to decreased capability to release in a fall in order to decrease the risk of inadvertent binding release. (Type 3 should not be used by skiers of less than 22kg)
Type 3+
Very strong skiers, on challenging terrain. Skiers looking for higher release settings than type 3. N.B Skier type does not have the same meaning as skier ability. I.E, an advanced skier who skis all-terrain but is not particularly aggressive may be able to use type 2 settings.
Using the boot sole length you give, we set the binding to that length, but the final adjustments and checks can only be made with the actual boot. Heel and toe units on ALL boots have to conform to a certain size and shape. However, sometimes boots especially older models or well-worn ones, may vary in length compared to another stating the same measurements hence it is important that you do have them professionally double-checked. We recommend that you have your skis double-checked by your local or resort ski shop with your actual boot.
