Where the Revolt 104 is a park/freeride hybrid that emphasizes all-mountain performance, the Revolt 90 is Volkl’s take on a traditional park ski. It’s built with competition style park riding in mind, with the stiff build and durability it takes to stomp big tricks.
In sum, it’s by far the best park option that Völkl makes, as well as reasonably dependable ski for the rest of the mountain- keeping in mind the inherent limitations of a park ski.
While we appreciate Volkl’s more well-rounded options, we feel that they really shine when they specialize. The Revolt 90 is a prime example of this- balancing traits like a low swingweight with XL feature stiffness. It’s an awesome park ski that doesn’t try to be anything more than that.
If you’re primarily interested in freestyle skiing and don’t need too much off-piste performance it could be the only ski you need.
Notable Features
