What the model says

Carve radius, to scale

  • Sidecut radius: 19.8 m
  • Carve radius at 30° edge: 17.1 m
  • Carve radius at 45° edge: 14 m
All three drawn on one scale, from the same starting point. A smaller arc is a tighter turn.

Edge hold and float

  • Edge hold: 92%, Holds well
  • Float: 61%, Some float
Ticks mark where the word changes. For 90 kg at 181 cm: hold on groomed snow, float in powder. Model figures, not measurements.

These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).

By ability

The Völkl Revolt 96 at 181 cm for a 90 kg skier on groomed snow. Reviewers are mostly experts, so read the left of each band for what most skiers get.

Edge hold

  • First-timer: slides (17%)
  • Beginner: slides (37%)
  • Intermediate: on the limit (64%), assumed level
  • Advanced: holds well (87%)
  • Expert: holds well (92%)
assumed intermediate: on the limit (64%)

Float

In soft snow
  • First-timer: some float (47%)
  • Beginner: some float (50%)
  • Intermediate: some float (53%), assumed level
  • Advanced: some float (57%)
  • Expert: some float (61%)
assumed intermediate: some float (53%)

Ease

How forgiving it is
  • First-timer: hard (24%)
  • Beginner: easy (86%)
  • Intermediate: easy (100%), assumed level
  • Advanced: easy (92%)
  • Expert: easy (80%)
assumed intermediate: easy (100%)

Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.

What reviewers say

Reviews from SkiEssentials (opens in a new tab)

  • 2024 VOLKL REVOLT 96 SKI REVIEW

    Bob St.Pierre and Jeff Neagle · 30 Mar 2023

    Reviewed as the 2024 model.

    The redesigned Volkl Revolt 96 updates a classic twin tip with taper and a 3D Radius sidecut. Built with a dense multilayer wood core, it carries noticeable weight that provides durability, stability, and dampness for experienced freestyle and all-mountain skiers, though beginners may find it hefty. It initiates turns smoothly, handles glades and bumps easily, and delivers forgiving, catch-free takeoffs and landings, making it a versatile and affordable choice across the hill.

    “The tips of the skis are super-easy to initiate” (Bob St.Pierre and Jeff Neagle)
