"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve ridden the new M7 Mantra in everything from hardpack to chop and it absolutely rails. It feels stable at high speeds, super responsive through turns, and the carbon tips make turn initiation feel quick but smooth. It’s that one-ski-quiver I reach for when I want to ski the whole mountain aggressively."" From first chair corduroy to tracked-out bowls and hidden glades, the Volkl M7 Mantra Ski is our go-anywhere, charge-everything weapon of choice. Updated in name but true to its legacy, the M7 Mantra W carries over the trusted construction and ride characteristics of the beloved Secret 96—only now under a new banner. It’s designed for skiers who demand top-tier performance from edge to edge, no matter where the day takes them. The M7 is anchored by Volkl’s multilayer wood core of poplar and beech, reinforced with a Tailored Titanal Frame and carbon fiber in the tips for power, precision, and energy. The 4 Radius Drive blends four different turn radii into one ski, giving us intuitive control whether we’re laying trenches on hardpack or maneuvering through tight trees. A rocker-camber-rocker profile and full sidewall construction enhance grip, stability, and float. From groomers to off-piste, the M7 Mantra is built to do it all—and do it well."
