Revolt 101 | 2026

Völkl has added another new ski to its Revolt lineup, rounding out the crew by touching on Völkl’s race heritage while staying true to the Revolt line’s freestyle DNA. The Revolt 101 sits in the middle of the collection, between the Revolt 104 and the Revolt 96. 

Völkl’s Revolt line comprises numerous distinct models that are centered around freeride and freestyle skiing. In the narrower part of the line sits Völkl’s heavily designated twin-tip freestyle park skis, which you find all over the competitive park scene, from halfpipe to big air. On the wider end of the spectrum you’ll find the Revolt 114, a burly hard-charging freeride ski that is catered to the freeride athlete who wants to fly down the fall line.

You can think of the Revolt 101 as the little brother to the Revolt 114. This ski has the same shape and stiffness as its bigger brother at a waist width that is happiest on firmer days. At 101 mm underfoot, this ski thrives on groomers and firm chalky snow. This ski is definitely more of a directional offering with powerful and quick edge-to-edge preformance that allows you to really push through the end of the turn and carry energy into the next.

The stiff core, comprised of wood, and moderately directional shape is contrasted by rocker in the tip and tail. The ski feels sturdy, but when hitting features and throwing it switch, the tail rocker makes it feel natural. This also improves its mogul performance, allowing you to release the tail much easier compared to another ski of this stiffness. However, this ski isn’t very forgiving as it will definitely put you in your place if you land in the backseat or are not fully in control.

The Revolt 101 has a unique package of qualities that makes it a great option for firm snow skiing if you value top-tier carving performance coupled with high-speed stability. If your missions revolve around fast and powerful skiing on chalky snow while seeking out side hits, there are very few other skis we’d recommend.
