This is a ski the team had a lot of input into and loves to ski.
Shape/Flex/Construction:
The Revolt 121 is a big ski.
121mm underfoot and 143 in the tip, with a generous helping of early taper.
When you put them on your feet, they look huge.
That’s partly because they are big, and particularly because of how tapered they are.
They have a lot of rocker too, 46cm in both the tip and tail by my measure.
The tail rocker is very mellow in that regard.
The tail is also blunter where the tip is more pinned, adding to the more directional looking shape.
Id say the Revolt is a touch stiffer throughout though.
There isnt much that stands out in terms of construction, but the essentials are all there.
Sintered base, mid-fat edges, solid wood core, and full sidewalls, these feel solid.
On-Snow:
The 121 is of the width that really can only be considered a pure powder ski.
I dont need a ski this big, ever.
Maybe if I ended up in Japan itd be just about better to be on something this big.
But at 60kg, I never really NEED something bigger than say 112mm… at the most.
And actually, the 121 skis surprisingly well on hard snow.
Its certainly better than I expected it to be.
It hasnt got that much effective edge but it tracks nicely and feels stable through turns.
The solid flex and wide shape mean they are great in cruddy/mixed conditions.
They arent a full-on directional charger, but for going fast in not great snow they are pretty fun.
They are nice and damp (and heavy), which helps reduce chatter too.

For me though, the weight is a downside.
If spinning into soft snow is your number one priority, Id take those skis ahead of these.
But then, these are far more stable than either.
Pow/Freeriding:
It kind of goes without saying that a 121mm ski is going to float well.
Anything this big, with this much rocker is going to do a good job in pow.
But even taking that into account, these are very easy skis to ski in deep snow.
However, what they do far better than skis like the aforementioned three, is charge.
The flatter tail and stiffer flex makes them far more stable feeling than any of those three.
They are perfectly happy to be skied fast and fairly straight.
They rarely flap and never felt to me like washing out.
Im not the biggest guy but they didnt feel like they had a speed limit.
And you know, maybe even skiing some steep straightlines.
The one downside compared to many jib skis is the lack of tail rocker splay.
In all other regards, Id say these felt bombproof, but dont have much to back that up.
As I already mentioned, these arent an all-out jibber, though they do surf a treat.
However, for me, the Revolt 121 allows you to do far more than either of those skis.
For me, it sits somewhere between the pure jibby pow skis and the more directional fat chargers.
