We thought you'd stand up and take notice; that new number in back of the "M" means something. In this case, it's an entirely re-designed version of the iconic missile you've known and loved for years. What's changed in the Völkl M7 Mantra Skis? Lots. The shape of the Tailored Titanal Frame has been tweaked, the Tailored Carbon Tip designed has been elongated, and the ski sports a new Four Radius Drive sidecut. What, 4 different radii? You got it. The new ski is a little less "stubborn" at lower and medium speeds or in tricky snow but still has plenty of guts and stability when you're really moving, and we think it's a winner.
