Designed for both Men and Women, this Adult ski is the definitive choice for Advanced-Expert skiers seeking a powerful, responsive, and incredibly versatile tool to conquer the entire mountain, from pristine groomers to challenging, variable terrain. The Mantra 88 sets the standard for on-piste carving while retaining the playful, freeride soul its name is famous for.

The magic of the Mantra 88 lies in its ability to blend raw power with intuitive agility. It carves with the precision of a dedicated piste ski, locking into arcs with unshakeable confidence and delivering explosive energy out of every turn. This is the ski for those who love the feeling of a perfect carve but refuse to be limited to the trail map. With a versatile waist width in the 86-90 mm category, it provides a stable platform that excels on hardpack yet offers ample float to navigate through soft snow, crud, and bumps with ease. Its construction is meticulously engineered to provide maximum stability at high speeds, eliminating chatter and inspiring you to push your limits.

Key Benefits:

* Unrivaled On-Piste Performance: Lay down deep, clean trenches on groomers. The ski’s unique geometry provides exceptional edge hold and powerful rebound, allowing for dynamic, high-energy carving at any speed.
* All-Condition Versatility: Don´t let changing conditions dictate your day. The 88mm waist and sophisticated profile make it a true one-ski quiver, transitioning seamlessly from hard snow to soft, chopped-up terrain without missing a beat.
* Intuitive Agility and Quickness: Despite its powerful nature, the Mantra 88 feels surprisingly nimble and quick edge-to-edge. It initiates turns effortlessly and can be steered through tight spots like moguls and trees with remarkable ease.
* Supreme High-Speed Stability: Feel completely connected and in control, even when charging down steep, open faces. The ski’s design dampens vibrations and provides a smooth, solid ride that builds confidence.

Main Features:

The Mantra 88’s exceptional performance is driven by a suite of advanced design elements. A revolutionary 3D Radius Sidecut features three distinct radii along the ski´s length. A long radius at the tip and tail ensures stability and smooth turn entry/exit at high speeds, while a shorter, tighter radius underfoot delivers incredible agility for quick, snappy turns.

This is complemented by a Tip and Tail Rocker profile. The gentle rise in the shovel and tail enhances turn initiation, improves flotation in softer snow, and makes the ski more forgiving in variable conditions. Camber underfoot maintains powerful edge grip and stability on firm surfaces. Furthermore, the ski incorporates a tailored reinforcement frame that strategically places strength and power along the edges and under the binding, while reducing weight in less critical areas. This results in a ski that is both powerful and surprisingly light on its feet. Finally, specially engineered tips reduce swing weight, making the ski even more responsive and less fatiguing to ski all day long.
