The 2027 Volkl Revolt 112 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is an all-new wide freeski option for the line, a fully twinned ski built for powder and big-mountain freestyle. A wood core and a rockered, twin-tipped shape combine for the float and switch-friendly handling creative skiers want once the snow gets deep. We paired the Revolt 112 with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

As a brand-new addition, this ski nails the wide freestyle brief: big enough to float yet shaped to spin, butter, and land switch. The wood core delivers the snappy, energetic pop that makes natural features fun.

Who it's for:

Powder and playful big-mountain lines are the target, which puts this squarely with advanced and expert freestyle skiers. It is a natural fit for anyone who skis switch and wants a creative, surfy ride in soft snow.

Highlights:

New to the Revolt family, the recipe stays simple: a multilayer wood core in a sandwich build with full sidewalls, tuned through core thickness and shape rather than exotic materials. A fully twinned outline and deep rocker float effortlessly and ride switch with ease, and a 112 mm waist keeps the ski surfing on top of soft snow. What Volkl has slotted in is a versatile wide twin for skiers who want to play across the whole mountain. At the core is the three-part heel, which delivers the secure boot retention the Strive line is known for while keeping weight reasonable. Salomon's elastic travel keeps the binding planted through chatter and cut-up snow, so it does not get knocked offline easily. The LDN toe spreads lateral input across an extra-wide pedal for crisp edge-to-edge power transfer, and a sliding toe pedal lets the ski bend underfoot for a more natural flex. The whole assembly rides on a low-profile chassis that drops the stance and centers the skier over the ski. It accepts both standard alpine and GripWalk boot soles, and the binding is TUV certified.

Things to consider:

Like its wider siblings, this ski is built for soft snow and freestyle rather than hardpack carving. On firm groomers a narrower ski will feel much more precise. Treat it as a powder and big-mountain freestyle tool.

Fit & sizing considerations:

This one sizes short on purpose thanks to the rocker, so go up for extra float in deep snow, or stay true to length for quicker, more playful handling.
