I have a pair of arv 96 that I like a lot but are too short and I want to just try new skis to really see what I like. I have my eyes on a pair of revolt 95's because of good price and I know people who have them who like them a lot. Has anyone had experience on both? What are they like compared to the arv 96?

Last year I got a pair of 2019 Revolt 95’s, and I was not too happy with them because of their turning radius (21.5 @173). Personally, I’m looking to switch from my Revolts to a arv 96.

Thanks for letting me know I was going to get the revolts in 181 with an even longer radius so I'll re consider.

The Revolt 95s radius is too long for what the ski is designed to do in my opinion. It’s also made in China which isn’t always a bad thing (it depends on the factory, the people in the factory and the attention to detail) but to my knowledge and some friends experience it’s not the most durable ski out there either. Hope this helps!
