Volkl Skis 2024: The First Look
The Right Stuff.
Year-in and year-out, Volkl serves up some of the most reliable metal-laminate skis in the world. From the legendary Mantra (now in its sixth generation with the M6) to the narrower all-mountain-ripping Kendo to the carve-happy Deacon, Volkl knows how to make strong skis. Sticking with industry trends, they’ve managed in recent years to make those skis even more accessible without compromising their hard-charging DNA.
The new 2023-2024 Volkl Skis collection doesn’t feature any big changes to the mainstay skis. Rather, refinements and additions in their more niche and newer lines take the headlines. There are two new fat skis, the Blaze 114 and Revolt 114. New and updated frontside skis. A redesigned Revolt 96, a skier-favorite in the all-mountain freestyle category. Narrower Blazes.
Here’s the deal:
What’s New
New Revolt 114. More directional, less tail splay, more heft than other Revolts. Big-mountain ripper.
New Revolt 96. Adds 3D Radius Sidecut (more versatility across the mountain), softer tips and tails than previous Revolt 95.
New Blaze 114. Uses Volkl’s new more sustainable Green Core with FSC wood and less petroleum-based products. Weight reduction and stability vs other Blaze construction. A more playful Katana 108.
New Blaze 82 in two different topsheets.
New Flair series of women’s frontside skis.
New Secret 102.
