2026 Volkl Revolt 114

By width, the Revolt 114 sits right between the Revolt 104 and Revolt 121. While those two skis lean towards surfy performance and playfulness, however, the Revolt 114 is more rooted in speed, power, and big mountain terrain. In previous years, it was an outlier in the Revolt collection. For 2026, its existence makes a little more sense with the introduction of a similar, but narrower, Revot 101. Both skis are intended to feel stiffer, stronger, and more confident at higher speeds through variable snow conditions. For the 114, think Freeride World Tour, think massive airs in steep, open terrain, and think power.

Volkl achieves a lot in how the build their Revolt skis just through how they design and mill the wood core. Beyond that, there’s really not much else going on in their construction aside from some fiberglass, topsheet materials, base structure, etc. The Multilayer Woodcore in the Revolt 114, however, is quite thick. That gives it a relatively stiff flex pattern and also a pretty hefty weight, coming in at 2250 g in the 177 cm length. That’s not light, especially when you consider 177 cm is the shortest of 3 available lengths. Something to keep in mind. Differing quite a bit from the Revolt 104 and 121, the 114 is stiff and heavy, and those are important things to know about it. If you’re looking for a playful, agile freeride ski, you might want to look elsewhere, but those seeking power and strength will love it. Matt Testa picked up on that in his testing, which happened to be on that 177 cm length. “My first impression of the Volkl Revolt 114 is that it’s a solid, hard-charging ski. It floated well in soft snow and felt stable at speed. The stiffness stood out in a good way—it gives the ski a powerful, confident feel that helps it blast through variable conditions without getting deflected."

The shape of the Revolt 114 is also relatively interesting among freeride skis in this width range. While it has reasonably long rocker lines, there’s not much splay, and the tail is quite flat. That shape works hand in hand with the stiffer flex pattern, giving you a very stable platform underneath you for landing big airs, letting your skis run through steep lines and variable snow conditions, and any other situation where you have to rely on your ski’s strength to keep you upright. That’s a big reason why you see Volkl athletes choosing it for Freeride World Tour and other similar events. Here’s another little tidbit on shape that’s quite interesting. The tip is actually wider than the tip of the Revolt 121. That means, although the 121 still surpasses it, the Revolt 114 actually does have very good float in soft snow. It’s everything else about it that makes it feel different than most powder skis. If you’re looking for a combination of power and float, however, it’s an excellent choice, which is another thing Matt picked up on. “I would recommend this ski for the steep and deep. At 114 this ski provides lots of float and the stiffness lets it charge. If you are looking for a powder ski this would be a good option.”

The Revolt 114 is not for everyone. It’s not a ski you’re going to see frequently in the lift lines at your local resort, unless your local resort is somewhere like Jackson Hole. It is, on the other hand, an excellent tool for the job its designed to do. It can absolutely blast through any snow condition, stays composed at speed even though sketchy terrain and conditions, and gives you the necessary float to ski deep snow with power and purpose.
