The 2025 Völkl Revolt 104 is a true quiver-of-one for freeride-focused skiers who want something playful, capable, and confident from the park to the powder. Designed in collaboration with Völkl’s athlete team, the Revolt 104 isn’t your average twin—it’s a directional twin-tip with serious backbone, tuned for skiers who like to mix high-speed stomps with buttering rollers and boosting off side hits.

At 104mm underfoot, the ski sits comfortably in the all-mountain freestyle sweet spot. It's wide enough for soft snow and storm days but narrow enough to stay quick on hardpack. The construction features Völkl’s multilayer wood core and a full sidewall build, giving it a strong, poppy flex that supports landings without feeling dead underfoot. The Revolt skips the Titanal frame found in some of Völkl’s more directional skis in favor of a slightly lighter, more playful feel, but it still retains enough dampness to push through chop without getting tossed.

On snow, the Revolt 104 feels energetic and smooth. It’s got a pretty balanced flex—soft enough in the tips and tails to press and butter, but with plenty of strength underfoot to rail carves when you lay it over. The rocker-camber-rocker profile makes it predictable on takeoffs and landings, and the ski feels just as comfortable spinning switch as it does skiing fall-line. It's not a full-on jib noodle, though. It prefers speed and air time over slow, techy rail work, and feels best when it's being skied actively.

Compared to skis like the Armada ARV 106 or Line Chronic 101, the Revolt 104 is a little more composed at speed and better suited to directional skiing. It’s not as surfy or loose as the ARV, but it’s more stable and precise in variable conditions. It’ll still smear and pivot when asked, but it likes being driven. That makes it a great option for park riders branching into freeride terrain or all-mountain skiers who want a more trick-friendly platform.

The 2025 update keeps the geometry and construction consistent with past years, which makes sense—Völkl found a winner with this shape, and they’re not trying to fix what isn’t broken. It’s the kind of ski that thrives in creative hands: one day you’re skiing spring slush and switch butters, the next you’re hucking cliffs into boot-top pow.

If you want a freestyle ski that actually holds up when the terrain gets spicy—without giving up the play—it’s hard to beat the balance the Revolt 104 strikes. Capable, poppy, stable, and just enough chaos to keep it fun.
