What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I ski the Mantra 84 when I want a ski that grips like a race board but still feels intuitive and smooth in all-mountain terrain. It's agile, quick edge to edge, and carves beautifully without demanding full-throttle effort all day."We reach for the Volkl Mantra 84 Skis when frontside laps are calling and carving clean lines is the priority. These skis are purpose-built for skiers who thrive on edge hold and precision, whether it's early morning corduroy or the variable snow that rolls in mid-season. With a waist that keeps transitions quick and a versatile sidecut that adapts to the skier's style, the Mantra 84 delivers confidence on-piste with just enough versatility to dip into off-trail stashes. Volkl's tailored approach to construction shines here. A multilayer wood core and Titanal Frame deliver stiffness where it's needed without overbuilding the ski for lighter or more finesse-driven riders. Tailored Carbon Tips enhance edge initiation and responsiveness, while the 3D Radius Sidecut lets us arc long turns or pivot through bumps with fluidity. It's a high-performance tool for skiers who appreciate every nuance of the descent.
