"BUILT TOGETHER!" Again! The design concept of the Völkl Freeski Family goes into the fourth round! The entire Revolt Range was designed by Swiss illustrator Benjamin Güdel.
Ex Ski Test Ski
This is an ex demo ski from the UK ski test, it has done ONE run at the test, on snow, so is in near perfect condition, with minor marks that you would expect of a ski having been taken up a bubble and chairlift and skied down. It comes with a full warranty, and is waxed and polished before shipping or collection.
At first sight you might say the mid-width with 114 mm closes the gap between Revolt 104 and 121, but looking closer you'll realize, the concept is rather different: the Revolt 114 is a completely independently designed, thoroughbred freerider. In terms of construction and riding characteristics, numerous top riders such as Ross Tester, Ian McIntosh, Kye Petersen, Sam Smoothy, Markus Eder and Paddy Graham to name just a few, were involved in the development of the Revolt 114.
Looking at the new, modern outline without Twin Tip you will immediately notice the flat ski tail and the early ending shovel in the front. This shape clearly classifies the ski for the big mountain league. Technically experienced and trained riders who prefer to draw wide, fast turns in open terrain, with a cliff every now and then, should definitely take a closer look at the new Revolt 114.
Equipped with 3D Radius Sidecut and full sidewall wrapped around the Multilayer Woodcore, this tip & tail rocker ski is designed to take on the sickest off-piste powder missions.
For experienced freeriders who give everything and demand everything.
Ski Buyers Guide
Buying a pair of skis doesn't need to be a daunting experience. When buying a pair of skis, there are a few simple pieces of information that will help you to find your perfect match. With the introduction of carving skis and new technology, ski length is based more on the user’s weight than the tradition of using your height. Combine this with your ski level and your aspirations and this will help narrow your choice very quickly. Follow these simple steps:
STEP 1 - ABILITY
Firstly choose your current skiing level from the list below:
1 - Never skied before
2 - I can stop with a snowplough
3 - I am doing snowplough turns, and the odd blue run
4 - I am starting to parallel ski and onto blue runs
5 - I am venturing onto reds, and starting to make step turns
6 - I am getting confident on reds, and maybe doing the odd black
7 - I am comfortable skiing most black runs
8 - I am confortable on ice, and venturing off-piste
9 - I am skiing off-piste aggresively, and carving across all pistes
10 - I am a professional experienced ski instructor or racer
Here at The Skiers Lounge we then brake this down into 4 groups:
- NOVICE (Level 1 to 4)
- INTERMEDIATE (Level 4-6)
- ADVANCED (Level 6-8)
- EXPERT (Level 8-9)
- PROFESSIONAL (Level 10)
STEP 2 - TERRAINNow you know your skier level, you can decide where you will mainly be using your new skis:
- - Groomed Piste Runs
- - All snow conditions (From ice to slush)
- - All mountain skiing conditions (piste and off-piste)
- - Off-piste skiing (powder)
- - Ski touring
STEP 3 - SKI LENGTH
For selecting the correct ski length, we take your ability, weight and where you will use the skis, and can calculate an approximate length:
STEP 3 - FINAL ADJUSTMENT FOR SKILL LEVELThe final calculation- For
NOVICE skiers, this is your recommended length. For
INTERMEDIATE and
ADVANCED skiers we recommend adding 5cm to the above measurement, and for
EXPERT and
PROFESSIONAL skiers you would normally add 10cm to the above length and a little more for freeride skis.
