The 2025 Volkl Mantra 108 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is a powerhouse of a setup designed to conquer any terrain it encounters. Its robust build and formidable strength allow it to handle a wide range of snow conditions and speeds with ease. Primarily geared towards big mountain lines at high speeds, the 108 stands out for its versatility and durability. On the right mountain and under the right conditions, it's hard to find a better choice. We paired the 108 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

The Mantra 108's impressive power and solid construction make it exceptionally suited for a variety of off-piste conditions. We love its precision and uncompromising performance.

Who it's for:

This ski is ideal for advanced to expert directional freeride skiers who require uncompromised stability at high speeds. Those with a more playful skiing style might not find the Mantra 108 as accommodating.

Highlights:

Volkl’s 3D Radius sidecut offers specific sidecuts in the tip, underfoot area, and tail, allowing for three different turn radii depending on the part of the ski that’s being engaged. The Tailored Titanal Frame includes a full sheet of titanal beneath the core and a segmented frame above, allowing for a tailored flex pattern and exceptional edge grip while still maintaining some forgiveness for a more intuitive ride. The Attack 14 GW’s FR PRO3 Toe contains 30 mm of elastic travel which provides a smooth and confidence inspiring feel when tracking though variable snow while also recentering the boot to its neutral position extremely well to keep you locked in, acting almost like a suspension system. NX FR Heel pieces have 16 mm of elastic travel which assists in prevent false-releases. These heel pieces also make stepping into and out of bindings with ease, even in deep snow.

Things to consider:

The Mantra 108 is highly specialized, making it less versatile and more suited to specific applications and skier types.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis are true to size. If you appreciate a robust build with a wide platform but have concerns about maneuverability, consider sizing down slightly.
