Volkl Mantra 88 2027 Skis

The Volkl Mantra 88 2027 is built for skiers who spend most of their time driving hard on groomers but still want enough versatility to handle chopped snow, bumps, and off-piste terrain when conditions open up.

 Replacing the long-running Kendo platform, the Mantra 88 brings a more modern shape, stronger edge grip, and smoother turn initiation while keeping the damp, confidence-inspiring feel Volkl is famous for.

It’s a powerful ski that rewards strong technique and aggressive skiing without feeling overly punishing.
