Volkl Revolt 114 2025 Review

The Völkl Revolt 114 is a pretty beastly ski. Stiff, damp and with only mellow tail rocker, these are big directional boards, especially compared to the rest of the Revolt family. So we were very surprised to find our testers loving them for park and all-mountain, as well as for charging.

Groomers & Resort Skiing:
On groomers, these skis can certainly be a handful. Once you get over 110 underfoot skis can struggle to lock on edge, and some of our testers found that to be the case with these. Some of the heavier skiers really enjoyed them, however, and loved how hard they could push the ski on groomed and in mixed snow. However, nobody really enjoyed them on really hard or icy snow or bumps, perhaps unsurprisingly.

“Would make an excellent freeride comp ski or daily driver for Revy, KHMR, JHMR, Alta, etc - places where you're charging and jumping off everything in sight.” - Max Ritter

Powder & Mixed Conditions:
Simply put, yes please! These skis have loads of tip rocker and float very well on the deepest of days. But it’s the stiff, damp profile that stands out. They crush crud, refrozen snow, etc, feeling predictable and powerful no matter what you’re skiing.

“The 114s made me feel like I could ski anything. Super stable and predictable while also having just enough looseness that I could throw them sideways surprisingly easily.” - Twig

"The second we got into the steep chopped-up 10-20 cm of pow this ski came alive, it was poppy, carvy, slashy, chargy and it just ate up all of the terrain. I was skiing lines I’ve looked at but have never skied and on this ski I just wanted to go for it. It blew me away." - Lucas Boudreau

Park & Jibbing:
These are certainly not designed to be a park ski, or even really for jibbing at all, and yet time and time again unexpected skiers pick them up and love them. Mikkel BK is the obvious example but lots of our testers enjoyed these in the park, both on rails and jumps. Even lighter skiers like Twig found them surprisingly usable for doing some tricks. The ski is so stable that it feels really good on landings, though the weight kept rotation numbers down. We’re not going to recommend these as a park ski for most skiers but just say, you could be surprised.

"I thought this ski was actually really fun in the park. The super-wide surface made sliding rails super stable and they stomped on jumps too." - Mark Valtr

Conclusion:
The Revolt 114 was probably the surprise hit of our test. We knew it was good for charging but our squad was surprised to find it relatively easy to ski in a variety of conditions and even quite fun to jib on. Of course, these still suit the aspiring freeride tour kind of skier the best, but they have a lot to offer, especially for bigger skiers and we even think you could daily drive it at a resort with plenty of big terrain.

"BUILT TOGETHER!" Again! The design concept of the Völkl Freeski Family goes into the fourth round! The entire Revolt Range was designed by Swiss illustrator Benjamin Güdel. At first sight you might say the mid-width with 114 mm closes the gap between Revolt 104 and 121, but looking closer you'll realize, the concept is rather different: the Revolt 114 is a completely independently designed, thoroughbred freerider. In terms of construction and riding characteristics, numerous top riders such as Ross Tester, Ian McIntosh, Kye Petersen, Sam Smoothy, Markus Eder and Paddy Graham to name just a few, were involved in the development of the Revolt 114. Looking at the new, modern outline without Twin Tip you will immediately notice the flat ski tail and the early ending shovel in the front. This shape clearly classifies the ski for the big mountain league. Technically experienced and trained riders who prefer to draw wide, fast turns in open terrain, with a cliff every now and then, should definitely take a closer look at the new Revolt 114.Equipped with 3D Radius Sidecut and full sidewall wrapped around the Multilayer Woodcore, this tip & tail rocker ski is designed to take on the sickest off-piste powder missions. For experienced freeriders who give everything and demand everything.
