The read

A park-oriented twin-tip built for freestyle progression, the Revolt 86 pairs tip-and-tail rocker with a bamboo wood core for a light, lively feel suited to tricks and switch riding. Its radius sits among the longest in the all-mountain cohort, favoring drawn-out arcs rather than quick pivots, while its below-median weight keeps it nimble and easy to swing. It suits an aspiring freestyler who wants a fast, poppy platform for park laps and hardpack transitions.

Specs & what they mean

What the Revolt 86's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 18.5-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a bamboo woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,670 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 86 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
