Freeride skis - Men -
The Mantra 102 is a men’s freeride ski from the brand Völkl, designed for skiers seeking speed and performance.
This ski is made to cut the mountain in two at the speed of light. With carbon tips and a Multilayer Woodcore made from a blend of poplar and beech, this ski is versatile to modulate power depending on the snow conditions encountered.
Moreover, the 3D.Radius Sidecut technology allows it to be manoeuvrable and stable, whether in tight turns or long, fast arcs. Thus, despite its wide waist, edge changes are optimised to be more agile and better adapt to terrain changes. This construction is perfectly suited to the double rocker which improves turn initiation in all types of snow.
Its Tailored Titanal Frame construction is custom-made according to the ski length, offering better power transmission and excellent liveliness. Added to this is another innovation, the Tailored Carbon Tip, which provides more precision and agility at the tip. The carbon fibres are positioned strategically with varying thicknesses to offer better turn entry and to play with the ski depending on the skier’s energy.
This ski is powerful thanks to its Full Sidewall construction but also promises greater durability as it is designed to withstand external impacts. The high-quality compact base offers even better glide thanks to the P-Tex 2100.
Aggressive and stable at high speed, the Mantra 102 is ideal for experienced skiers who know how to push it on all terrains!
| Ski length | Sidecut dimensions (mm) | Radius (m) | Ski weight (g) |
| 170 cm | 142 - 102 - 124 | (R1) 26 m, (R2) 16 m, (R3) 23 m | 2,020 |

- Sidewalls along the entire length for direct power transmission
| MULTILAYER WOODCORE | Multilayer wood core with two different wood densities. In the binding area, a dense ash core is used, while the rest of the ski features a poplar core. The denser wood allows for screw retention and stability, while the more flexible poplar section provides resilience and suppleness. |
| P-TEX 2100 | High-density sintered polyethylene base with a high molecular weight, offering excellent durability and outstanding glide. |
| 3D RADIUS SIDECUT | Use of a long radius at the tip and endpiece for large, high-speed turns. The tip resists well at high speed, and there is no radius limitation when exiting turns for greater ease. A shorter radius is used for smaller turns at medium speed. This enables easy turn initiation, exceptional agility, and especially less effort in short turns. |
| TAILORED CARBON TIPS | A bespoke technique allowing individual carbon fibres to be embroidered onto a carrier material. This enables precise positioning along tension lines, opening up new performance possibilities at the ski’s front, decisively influencing ski manoeuvrability. Lightweight, they allow a response with less effort and quickly accumulate energy. This achieves a new level of precision, direct tip response, and the joy of skiing actively. |
| TAILORED TITANAL FRAME | The custom 0.7 mm thick titanal frame is integrated along the sidewall and in the tip and endpiece zones of the ski. This provides the stability and damping that any experienced skier expects at the most critical points of the tip and tail. A second, thinner (0.3 mm) layer of Titanal under the binding adds the necessary rigidity to the ski. This way, the binding screws offer very reliable retention even in the most demanding conditions, while the ultra-thin layer allows for a supple flex in the mid-body. Thanks to this highly complex construction, skiers benefit from a unique combination of liveliness and stability at high speed. |
