    Very close to the 99

    marcoche · 18 Dec 2025 · 179 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2026 model.

    Comparing it directly to his daily Enforcer 99, the tester found the Enforcer 94 very similar, noting its strong edge grip, solid stability, and great dampening through heavy chop and soft bumps. The narrower waist makes edge transitions quicker and short turns slightly easier, though deep-snow flotation remains limited. It is a demanding charger tailored for frontside and resort-focused skiers who drive aggressively. The tester awarded it a score of 9/10.

    “l'accroche est impeccable, je dirais un poil meilleure que le 99” (marcoche)

    Why this one: Tester weighs 70 kg, within 20 kg of you.

    Nordica Enforcer 94: The essence of all-mountain

    bkkaset · 3 Dec 2025 · 185 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2026 model.

    Tested in Val d'Isère across groomed hardpack and pristine off-piste powder, the reviewer found this ski to be an exceptional all-mountain model combining power, grip, and surprising agility. The updated shape and tail rocker provide easy pivoting and playful off-piste performance without losing torsional stability or edge hold on piste. Overall, it stands out as a highly versatile and balanced ski that is not overly demanding. The tester awarded it a personal score of 9/10.

    “L'accroche est superbe : bien présente sous le pied” (bkkaset)

    Why this one: Tester weighs 72 kg, within 20 kg of you.

    Best All-Mountain Skis of 2026-2027 (Staff top picks) (Völkl M7 Mantra)

    Powder7 · 14 Oct 2026

    Reviewed as the 2027 model.

    In its seventh generation, the M7 Mantra refines its tailored titanal frame with a lower center of gravity and low camber profile. It delivers a glued-to-the-snow, damp ride that plows through chop with unflinching confidence, remaining slightly more accessible to initiate than its predecessor.

    Why this one: Tester weight not stated.

    2027 Volkl M7 Mantra - SkiEssentials Ski Test Review

    SkiEssentials · 17 Aug 2026 · 177 cm tested

    Reviewed as the 2027 model.

    The Völkl M7 Mantra returns with updated graphics and unchanged construction, retaining its reputation as a precise, demanding, and high-performance all-mountain ski. It provides excellent edge hold and high-speed stability on firm snow and through crud, though it can feel overwhelming for skiers below advanced ability. The 4Radius sidecut delivers adaptable carving from long arcs to quick turns, excelling on groomers and hardpack while remaining composed across variable terrain.
