evo.com | Volkl Skis > Rock solid at the limit, and with edgehold and precision second to none, the Volkl Mantra 88 Skis top the sales charts in the carving category for evo (and probably a lot of other retailers as well). 2027 is the second year for this design, with only a color change to a deeper blue, and in our opinion that's just fine. The placement and design of the tailored Titanal and Carbon elements paired with the proven 3D Radius sidecut make this the best of a long line of 88mm skis dating to the Kendo. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. 3D Radius Sidecut Three radii in one ski shape deliver maximum versatility - long radii at the tip and tail for stability and smoothness, and a short radius in the mid-body allows the skier to switch from long arcs to short turns at will, at any speed. Full Sidewall Direct and strong power transmission with full length sidewalls. 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 handling. Multlayer Woodcore The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood surrounding it. The Salomon Strive 14 GW Ski Bindings are an all-new lightweight resort ripper for responsive freeriding. The design of the LDN toepiece puts you close to the snow for maximum contact and response, enhancing power transmission for a smooth on-snow feel. The superlight design is reinforced with metal in key areas, and 45mm of elastic travel means they can handle rough riding without letting you down. The low profile Strive 14 bindings set a new standard in all-mountain performance. We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. LDN Toe Low. Direct. Neutral. These are the deign characteristics of the revolutionary new LDN Toepiece. A lower center of gravity places the binding closer to the ski for better next-to-snow feel and the wide base delivers more direct response and reaction throughout the turn. The flatter, neutral stance puts the skier in a more balanced position by preserving the natural flex and arc of the ski. Locking Brakes The brakes feature a smartly designed clip-in system that locks the skis together as you throw them over your shoulder, making long hauls easy! Automatic Toe Adaptation The toe adapts automatically to your alpine normed boot height and ensures constant release values, even on worn out boots.
