Well, Volkl pulled off the impossible: they made a ski that charges harder than the Revolt 121. I have had so much fun riding these skis this year. When snow is soft (or even wet PNW style powder) these skis truly come to life. They are so stable at speed, and yet so easy to make all types of turn shapes. They float on top of deep powder, and crush through any chossy sections.
They are quite heavy at 4460 grams, and can be a little bit of a leg burner (early season especially), but it is so worth the weight. I was able to carve hard enough to touch the uphill on groomers on these, as well. So if the pow is skied off early, you will still be ripping on these tanks no matter the conditions.
Volkl Skis 2026: The First Look
The German engineers and ski nerds across the pond have been hard at work building new skis and updating some key models. Last season, Volkl updated the cult classic Mantra with the M7 Mantra. We thought the updates were a huge win, with staffers saying this is the best Mantra yet. This year, Volkl is turning their attention to some of the more narrow models in their lineup, with a major new update, along with one brand new ski. Check out the details in our Volkl skis 2026 preview.

Athlete-driven big-mountain skis.
The new Volkl Revolt 114 fills a gap in Volkl's athlete-driven collection of all-mountain freestyle and freeride skis. With new art each year, freeride-y shapes, and a slew of professional skiers throwing down on them, the Revolt series has carved out a niche as one of those culty, skier-favorite lines. Slotting into the series between the freestyle-ish Revolt 104 and powder-hawking Revolt 121, the new 114 does more than just occupy a waist width. It aims to be the most badass ski in the series.
