The 2025 Volkl Revolt 86 with Marker Griffon 13 ID Bindings stands out as one of the most park-oriented twin tips in Volkl’s lineup. Despite its strong park focus, the 86 offers significant all-mountain versatility with a shape that enhances creativity across the entire mountain. Perfect for summit-to-park freestylers, this ski excels at slashing, stomping, ollieing, and spinning with a stable and confidence-inspiring personality. We paired the 86 with the Marker Griffon 13 ID because of the Griffon’s precision and reliability for all mountain and freeride skiers. With a robust construction and all the best tech, the Griffon 13 is a popular high-performance binding choice for wider-bodied skis for good reason.

Why we like it:

The Revolt 86 is exceptionally stable with excellent edge grip, making it adept at handling rutted takeoffs and blown-up landings. This stiffness also contributes to impressive groomer performance, rounding out its capabilities nicely.

Who it's for:

This ski is suited for intermediate to expert summit-to-park or competition level freestylers who seek a stable twin tip that can handle a variety of conditions and perform exceptionally well both in the park and across the mountain.

Highlights:

Volkl’s utilized Poplar and Beech in their Multilayer Wood core to deliver a construction that is lightweight, strong, and durable, while providing a smooth, vibration-free ride. The symmetrical twin tip shape enhances versatility across all mountain conditions and boosts freestyle performance. Camber underfoot offers lively pop for takeoffs, and the symmetrical sidecut facilitates easy switch skiing, allowing for endless freedom to play in the park. As we’ve come to expect from Marker, there’s no shortage of tech packed into the Griffon 13 binding. Marker’s Triple Pivot Elite Toe and Inter-pivot 3 Freeride Heel systems work in tandem to provide improved edge grip and control, as well as helping to mitigate vibrations for a smooth ride. A cleverly placed anti-ice rail sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape off those pesky clumps of snow and ice that accumulate on the sole of your boot. With Multinorm (MN) boot compatibility, the Griffon 13 is a versatile and reliable choice for a huge range of skiers and applications.

Things to consider:

With its significant camber, the Revolt 86 is not the softest or most floaty ski in deep snow. For those specifically seeking a twin tip for soft snow conditions, there are better options within the Revolt line.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis are true to size, but due to their sturdy construction, sizing down slightly is a common practice.
