Volkl Revolt 121

[namke44]

Hi everyone,

I'm a former alpine racer, turned fully freeride/backcountry skier. I'm 175cm, around 70kg. Currently riding the Bent Chetler 100, but I'll be moving to the Aspen area next season and I want to get a playful pair for deep days.

My eyes are on the Volkl Revolt 121 for quite some time, so I wanted to hear some opinions on them. Should I get the 177cm or 184cm, and I'm opet to any other good suggestions of course.

My riding style is a bit more on the charging side, but I'm playful as much as I can be, and spending most of my free time in parks or on backountry kickers to perfect new tricks. All the tricks that I'm practising and learning are to be used in the backcountry and freeriding, so I'm not looking for a park ski.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Have you heard of the bent hitlers?

Ripping ski. Go for the 184 they’ve got pretty deep tip and tail rocker.

Thanks for the opinion, I'm already leaning towards 184

def 184, this ski is nimble, also not very stiff, additional length will be good for stability without feeling to long

Although Bent Chetlers get a rap for being a dad ski, the 120's are crazy fun on deep days as a soft jibby ski. They definitely ride differently than the 100's too

I have the revolt 104's in 180 (5'8", 160), I ski them on bulletproof ice in vt, and 3 feet of new snow at Alta. I never wished that I had a wider ski

184 for sure especially at 175cm you want a bit bigger if it’s all mountain

Alta doesn’t actually get snow I know you’re lying
