The Revolt 96 is back for year two with a fresh new graphic that's giving off major OG Volkl Wall vibes. At just under 100mm, the Revolt 96 is probably the most versatile of Volkl's recently refurbished Revolt series. The series was updated for last season and there isn't too much that changed about the way the family skis, Volkl just introduced a few new waist widths to cover more ground. The Revolt 96 is gonna ski very similarly to the Revolt 95 of old, but that's a good thing if this is the type of ski that fits your vibe. This is a lightweight ski with freestyle DNA that's loaded with pop and oozes energy. It's at home in the park or getting playful anywhere on the mountain. 96mm is a dope waist width because it doesn't feel like too much width in the park, but is also gonna be wide enough to go off-trail hunting for soft snow. This is a more playful style ski so it's not incredibly powerful, but that's not what it's built for. On firm snow, the Revolt 96 feels predictable and relatively smooth and in tight terrain, it'll pivot on a dime. If you're looking for a poppy, energetic ski for jibbing all over the mountain this is the answer.
