About this product

The Völkl Mantra 88 Skis for 2026 represent a refined evolution of a well-established all-mountain platform, available in a 163 cm length. For this model year, Völkl repositioned the carbon fiber layup in the tips from an upward curve to a downward orientation, a change that promotes smoother arc initiation through turns and improves straight-line stability at higher speeds. The Tailored Titanal Frame has also been subtly retuned, with a slightly adjusted width that adds torsional stiffness underfoot while reducing it toward the tip, resulting in a more controlled and responsive flex pattern. Together, these updates produce a ski with strong edge hold and considerable power underfoot, characteristics that suit advanced to expert skiers who demand performance at the limits of the mountain. The ski carries a 2-year warranty and is built around an 88 mm waist width that positions it comfortably between groomer precision and off-piste versatility.

What people are saying

Reviewers consistently praise the 2026 Völkl Mantra 88 for its exceptional edge grip, stability at speed, and powerful carving performance on groomers and firm snow. The 2026 updates, including a tweaked Titanal frame and reshaped carbon tips, are noted as making turn initiation easier and reducing tip flutter compared to prior versions, without sacrificing top-end performance. Users and experts alike highlight its versatility across hardpack, ice, steeps, and even light off-piste terrain. The most common criticism is that it is a demanding, unforgiving ski that requires strong technique and an active stance. It can feel stiff and get deflected in choppy or variable conditions, and some testers note it is on the louder side due to its metal construction. Intermediates and finesse-oriented skiers are consistently steered away, as the ski rewards hard chargers rather than casual or backseat riders.
