Voile Hyper Manti Touring Ski
Tourers who want the Manti's two-faced turn without the poplar weight are the reason the Voile Hyper Manti Touring Ski exists. A 134-102-121 mm shape at 171 cm on a 17 m radius keeps the early-rise tip and gradually rockered tail, so the ski slarves in soft snow and sets on edge when the surface firms up. At 1,295 g per ski in a 171 the Voile Hyper Manti comes in 270 g per ski under the poplar Manti on the same shape, which is what makes a 102 mm ski a genuine long-day option.

Why We Like It
- A paulownia wood core under two Voile Carbon-Weave layers takes 270 g per ski out of the Manti at 171 cm, which puts a 102 mm all-rounder in the same climbing weight class as much narrower skis.
- The Voile Hybrid 2.0 profile is unchanged from the poplar Manti, so the medium running length and gradual tail rocker still give the ski two personalities rather than one.
- A wide 134 mm shovel at 171 cm floats better than 102 mm underfoot suggests, which is what makes this a soft-snow ski as well as a spring one.
- Mounting areas are reinforced to carry a binding in the lighter core, which is the part of the Hyper build that gets overlooked until a screw pulls.
Best Uses
- Long days on a single-ski quiver
- Storm snow one day and refrozen crust the next
- Tree skiing and open faces in one tour
- Skiers running pin/tech touring bindings
- Big vertical where a 102 mm ski usually costs too much
Ski Specialist's Advice
Length changes the Voile Hyper Manti less than it changes the wider skis in the line, because the waist only moves 5 mm across the run. A 158 is 130-100-118 mm on a 16 m radius at 1,125 g per ski, and a 186 is 140-105-127 mm on a 19 m radius at 1,490 g per ski. Since the whole run is light, sizing up for stability costs little, and the shape rewards it.
Voile builds the Hyper Series for AT bindings, and mounting telemark bindings or quiver killers on the Voile Hyper Manti voids the Voile factory warranty. Tele skiers should buy the poplar Voile Manti, which Voile rates for their bindings. Mount to the marked boot center, charted by Voile for each size, without a plate. Match binding to your boot sole norm, set brakes against the waist at your length from 100 mm at 158 cm to 105 mm at 186 cm, and cut skins at a 140 mm stock width.

Compare the Voile Hyper Manti
Voile Hyper Manti vs. Voile Manti
Same 134-102-121 mm shape and 17 m radius at 171 cm, different core. The Voile Hyper Manti uses paulownia with doubled carbon at 1,295 g per ski, the Voile Manti uses poplar at 1,565 g. The Manti is damper in chopped snow and carries the telemark rating; the Hyper Manti is the one to tour on.

Both Hyper Series skis, 10 mm apart underfoot and on different camber profiles. The Voile Hyper V8 is 141-112-123 mm at 176 cm and 1,400 g per ski on Hybrid Rocker, built to float and pivot. The Voile Hyper Manti holds a longer running length and a lower-taper tail for firmer snow.

The Voile HyperCharger is the directional option at 137-104-121 mm and 1,295 g per ski at 171 cm on Early Rise Camber, with a long running length and a flat tail for arcing at speed. The two weigh the same at 171 cm, so this comes down to whether you want to carve or to slarve.
