About the Volkl Revolt 86
The Revolt skis are Volkl's freestyle pride and joy, these skis live for freestyle, jibbing and urban, and have been designed in conjunction with Volkl's super-talented team rider, Ahmet Dadali.
With a multi-layer wood core and a camber underfoot, the Revolt skis have a powerful pop with confidence-inspiring stability. This construction lends itself to hopping onto rails, spinning off kickers, and stomping some serious tricks. As one would expect with a freestyle-specific jib ski, the binding mount position is dead centre, which improves stability when spinning or pulling off intricate manoeuvres. To increase versatility, the Revolt skis are not fully symmetrical. Instead, the sidecut has been designed to support forward, switch, and all-mountain riding.
Whilst the flex of the 86 mm underfoot section is solid, reliable and stable, the flex pattern in the tip and tail is softer. The "butter zone" enables smooth transitions to switch and back and allows for buttering and pressing, meaning tricks can be tweaked and experimented with.
The carbon stringer doesn't just provide the right amount of pop, but also a nice level of agility when turning. A tough box construction, P-Tex 3000 and a multi-layer wood core round off a high-quality setup.
If you spend your time on the mountain looking for the next feature to jib off, then the Volkl Revolt skis are an excellent choice.
