Men’s Volkl 2022/2023 Skis at Avie’s Ski / Sports
Mantra M6 $825 / $699.95 Avie’s How do you improve a legend? You retain the features that made the ski famous and add the latest innovations, which allow progress where a year ago you couldn’t see any room for improvement. The new Mantra M6 again comes with a multilayer wood core and tip and tail rocker. But in the coming season, the newly designed ski body will, for the first time, be adapted to a 3D radius sidecut concept with a tailored Titanal frame. By adapting the Titanal components to the various ski lengths and thus to the skier’s proportions, not only can the tip and tail ends be weight-optimised, but the torsional stiffness can also be influenced, thereby improving the ride qualities. This retains the familiar stability of a Titanal ski while also making the Mantra M6 noticeably lighter and more agile to control. The new handling characteristics of the Mantra M6 are also enhanced by the tailored carbon tip. The dedicated positioning of the carbon fibres results in a precise tip response and vastly improves the ski’s torsional stiffness. In summary, the Mantra M6 is even more versatile than its predecessor and once again offers maximum fun! Targeted to advanced beginner to expert level skiers. 96 mm at the waist; good on all snow surfaces and excels in long turns.
Blaze 106 $700 / $599.95 Avie’s For those who want to ride free without any restrictions but with all the control of a sporty all-mountain design. The new Blaze series adds a new dimension for intuitive freeriders who like performance but appreciate a playful, agile feel as well. As the widest model in the line, the Blaze 106 weighs 1,828 g (@ 186 cm) and delivers fantastic flotation, even in soft snow. A 0.3 mm thick Titanal binding platform provides direct power transfer and builds pressure quickly for a fast response when switching edges. The ski’s faster, more direct response is especially welcome in narrow and rough terrain – and takes less effort too. The secret largely lies in the 3D radius sidecut. The Blaze is designed primarily for short, fast turns, but its three different radii and tip-to-tail hybrid multi-layer wood core adapt to any riding style, however ambitious. Another notable feature is the new suspension tip, which makes its debut in the Blaze series. An elasticated, rubbery material on the tip and tail acts like a bumper, especially in wind-blown and tracked conditions, making the ski more settled and providing fantastic flotation. The Blaze is popular for freeride touring too, thanks to its light weight. That’s why Völkl also offers Smart Glue skins tailored to each Blaze model. Targeted to all skier ability levels. 106 mm at the waist; excels in softer snow surfaces and especially powder, good in both short and long terms.
Blaze 94 $650 / $549.95 Avie’s For those who want to ride free without any restrictions but with all the control of a sporty all-mountain design. The new Blaze series adds a new dimension for intuitive freeriders who like performance but appreciate a playful, agile feel as well The Blaze 94 weighs just 1,566 g (@ 179 cm) and is a highly versatile ski for outstanding performance in almost any conditions. A 0.3 mm thick Titanal binding platform provides direct power transfer and builds pressure quickly for a fast response when switching edges. The ski’s faster, more direct response is especially welcome in narrow and rough terrain – and takes less effort too. The secret largely lies in the 3D radius sidecut. The Blaze is designed primarily for short, fast turns, but its three different radii and tip-to-tail hybrid multi-layer wood core adapt to any riding style, however ambitious. Another notable feature is the suspension tip.

Targeted to beginner to advanced intermediate level skiers. 94 mm at the waist; great in softer snow surfaces, including powder, and good in both short and long turns.
Blaze 86 w/V-Motion $599.95 Avie’s Blaze 86 is built with a full tip-to-tail wood core which not only trims the weight but makes the ski more lively. Blaze 86 w/V-Motion binding is generally designed for fast, short turns. However, the 3D radius sidecut, especially in combination with the full hybrid multilayer wood core, are designed for every riding style and can handle even the most ambitious use. Targeted to advanced beginner to advanced intermediate level skiers. 86 mm at the waist; good on all surfaces and good in both long and short turns.
Kendo 88 $775 / $649.95 Avie’s This is an all-mountain freerider with a state-of-the-art build that can be used for so many different things by experienced skiers who relish powerful turns on any terrain and on any piste. Like the new Mantra and Kenja, the Kendo 88 comes with revised geometry and a one metre shorter centre radius in its 3D Radius Sidecut. The key is that the three different radii combined in one ski make for enormously versatile cornering. The new 16 m radius in the middle further increases its radius variability. Thrills await if you love tight turns cut fully on the edge. This ski encourages a sporty, intuitive style on groomed slopes, but also provides the manoeuvrability you need to get through challenging terrain. Less force is required too, thanks to a shorter centre radius. This season, the Kendo 88 also features Tailored Carbon Tips and a Tailored Titanal Frame. So if it wasn’t clear already, there can now be no doubt that fun is the Kendo’s middle name. The Tailored Titanal Frame, which features in the Mantra, Secret, Kendo and Kenja, is an evolution of our familiar Titanal Frame. In this design, the width of the Titanal upper belt can be adapted to the length of the ski; the resulting torsional stiffness and the desired damping behaviour can be adapted to the skier. The Titanal content is reduced in shorter skis, which means shorter and lighter skiers can get the most out of their skis without excessive effort. The new Tailored Carbon Tips make the Kendo 88 extremely versatile. Carbon fibres applied by means of Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) allow our engineers to influence curve behaviour with great accuracy. The strength and alignment of the fibres define the force you need to apply and the energy that builds up where it’s needed. Agile shovel reaction is a feature of special note. This means that as soon as you initiate a turn, you can steer the ski in a measured, easy manner. In other words, simply think about changing direction – and it happens. This construction also allows means less weight without any loss of stability. Also included in the new Kendo 88 with tip and tail rocker is our renowned multilayer wood core surrounded by a full sidewall and a P-Tex 2100 base. Targeted to all skier ability levels. 88 mm at the waist; good on all snow surfaces and good in both short and long turns, and excelling in longer turns.
Kanjo 84 $700 / $599.95 Avie’s With an 84 mm waist, the Kanjo offers a lively yet stable feel for cruising on piste thanks to its Titanal binding platform and new 3D radius sidecut. Its glass frame and tip and tail rocker design also give it an effortless surfing feel. The Kanjo is the perfect on-piste ski for off-piste skiers who dig piste skiing but never want to be regarded as on-piste skiers. If you’re a freeskier looking for an on-piste ski suitable for freeriding that offers fun and performance, the Kanjo is for you. Targeted to beginner to advanced intermediate level skiers. 84 mm at the waist; good in all snow surfaces and good in both long and short turns.
Revolt 95 $500 / $399.95 Avie’s Developed in conjunction with our athletes, the Revolt 95 is an incredibly multifaceted tool for younger riders. Its construction principle is designed around a directional shape that works for a wide range of jib-oriented riding situations.

Blaze 86W $649.95 Avie’s The Blaze 86 W builds on what the other models are known for: lightness, versatility and agility. Because there is no Titanal, the ski is a bit more sprightly and also a bit lighter.

This latest model is the first to combine a glass frame construction with Titanal beneath the binding. Its Titanal binding construction gives it stability and allows it to transfer power without being unnecessarily heavy; a glass frame reinforces the important zones of the ski. As a result, the ski feels more lively yet softer. That said, it can still be pushed really hard without requiring much force. This ski has always appealed to a very broad target group because of its enormous range of uses. Improved on-piste properties and the option of straying away from the groomed runs now and again make the ski even more appealing.
