The 2027 Volkl Mantra 84 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the narrowest of the Mantra all-mountain freeride skis, a tight-waisted carver bringing the line's signature edge grip and energy to skiers who live for firm-snow performance. A poplar and beech wood core, titanal layering, and a multi-radius shape make it quick, precise, and seriously grippy on groomed terrain. We paired the Mantra 84 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:

Quickness from edge to edge is the standout, and the narrow waist makes this the snappiest, most agile Mantra of the bunch. There is still a ton of rebound and energy on tap thanks to the titanal frame.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert skiers focused on trail performance who want a precise, energetic carver. A great fit for strong skiers who value quickness and edge grip over soft-snow float.

Highlights:

Tailored carbon tips are what let an 84 mm waist feel as light on its feet as it does, cutting swing weight and sharpening the moment the ski enters a turn. The same construction DNA as its wider siblings sits behind that: a multi-layer poplar and beech wood core with beech concentrated toward the edges for power, plus titanal layering and the three-piece Tailored Titanal Frame keeping things damp and grippy while preserving a natural flex. Narrow underfoot and multi-radius in shape, this ends up the most carving-focused and agile ski in the family. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

The narrow waist that makes this ski so quick on hard snow also limits it once snow gets soft or chopped up. Skiers who want more float and all-mountain range should step up to a wider ski in the line. It also rewards an active, technical skier.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Standard sizing applies, so pick your usual length, or drop one for an even quicker, more nimble feel on trail.
