What the model says

Carve radius, to scale

  • Sidecut radius: 16.8 m
  • Carve radius at 30° edge: 14.5 m
  • Carve radius at 45° edge: 11.9 m
All three drawn on one scale, from the same starting point. A smaller arc is a tighter turn.

Edge hold and float

  • Edge hold: 95%, Holds well
  • Float: 61%, Some float
Ticks mark where the word changes. For 90 kg at 177 cm: hold on groomed snow, float in powder. Model figures, not measurements.

These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

  • Beginner: manageable (77%)
  • Intermediate: easy (100%), assumed level
  • Advanced: easy (97%)
  • Expert: easy (85%)
assumed intermediate: easy (100%)

Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.

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

    Powder7 · 14 Oct 2026

    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.

  • 2025 Volkl M7 Mantra Ski Review

    Bob St.Pierre · 8 July 2024

    The updated Volkl M7 Mantra refines the franchise with a new 4 Radius Drive sidecut and an articulated carbon tip. It excels on firm groomers with relentless grip, precision, and damp high-speed composure. Defying variable chop, it demands intentional driver input in tighter off-piste terrain and powder, remaining a stout, charge-oriented tool best suited for expert and advanced skiers.

    “When the snow gets cut, chopped, chunked, or crudded, the M7 is unphased.” (Bob St.Pierre)
