The Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics are still fresh in our memories. On the Olympic freestyle skiing stage, the VÖLKL REVOLT series dominated and earned the title of the world's strongest
In the men's slopestyle, four of the 12 top athletes who competed in the finals, including the gold and bronze medalists, used REVOLT. In the men's halfpipe, REVOLT surpassed its performance in slopestyle, with a remarkable six out of the 12 finalists, including the gold medalist, soaring through the air using REVOLT
REVOLT undoubtedly dominates the world freeskiing competition scene. Having earned the title of the ski that supports world champions, the series is currently a hot topic, and for the 2026-2027 season, a new addition with a new waist width, the "REVOLT 112," will be introduced. It is the hottest topic for the VÖLKL brand in the 2026-2027 season, and rumors are circulating that "the REVOLT 112 is amazing," attracting keen attention from around the world
This model embodies the philosophy of "playing the entire mountain with a twin-tip board," capturing the cutting edge needs of diverse riding styles. Its tough and solid construction with just the right amount of rigidity, combined with agile performance for playful riding, results in versatile performance. It floats in powder and allows for effortless spinning on natural off-piste hits
Once you're in the park, you won't feel any limitations when doing jibbing or butter tricks. The 112mm waist size, which harmonizes powder flow, light swing weight, and controllability, is the "just right" dimension at this point in time
In other words, the introduction of the REVOLT112 to the lineup is not simply an expansion of size variations to fill a gap in the series, but a response to real trends on the ground. Turning in powder, creating slashes, and conquering natural terrain in a freestyle manner. It can be said to be a strategic model that hits right in the heart of modern freestyle, where the visual native generation talks about riding through videos and images
For the 2026-2027 season, a new model evolved from the popular "RC (Race Tiger)" for both GS (Giant Slalom) and SL (Slalom). It's called the "RACETIGER MC." The "MC (Multi-Carver)," based on medium turns, sits between GS (Giant Slalom) and SL (Slalom), and was developed specifically for medium turns. Even on hard snow conditions, it delivers sharp edge grip and stable, high-speed carving performance
The nose features a "tailored carbon tip" for quick shovel response and is fully equipped with "3D.glass" to enhance turning stability. Furthermore, the foot area employs a "Titanal band" and a "multi-layer wood core (poplar/beech)" to combine high rigidity with nimble handling
For those who focus on fundamentals, using skis that excel in mid-turns will undoubtedly broaden their skiing repertoire. The fact that they come in two color variations, "BLACK" and "BLUE," is another enjoyable aspect
VÖLKL's unshakeable racing model, the "RACETIGER," has been updated for the GS/SL season in 2026-2027. The main highlight is the revamped core material, now featuring a tailored torsion wood core made of peach and poplar. The heavy and rigid beech wood is placed along the edges where the most power is applied and under the binding, and combined with lightweight and flexible poplar wood, resulting in durability and vibration absorption while achieving nimble handling
The core structure consists of wide wood planks at the top and tail, thicker wood planks at the edges, and thinner wood planks in the center. As the name "Tailored" suggests, the placement of the wood core has been finely adjusted down to the millimeter, resulting in a more precise and direct response and an active gliding feel from the initiation to the exit of a turn
In addition to adding new models and updating flagship models, for the 2026-2027 season, the entire "RACETIGER" GS/SL series, including the World Cup model, will be unified in yellow, which can be considered Volkl's signature color. The reborn "RACETIGER," clad in a vibrant yellow that conveys a sense of speed and power, will vividly color the snow
Since founder Franz Völkl began selling skis in 1923, the prestigious brand VÖLKL has built a solid reputation through steady research, development, and testing for over 90 years. Supported by cutting-edge technology and passionate craftsmanship from Germany's industrialized nation, VÖLKL's capabilities were first recognized around the world when it entered the alpine racing world in 1970. Since then, the brand has achieved brilliant results in the World Cup and the Olympics, marking the start of its VÖLKL success story
VÖLKL has been applying its technical expertise, which has achieved high functionality through innovative technology, to freeskiing from an early stage. The company offers a wide range of skis, including ultra-lightweight touring skis equipped with cutting-edge materials such as carbon and titanal, models with excellent glide for powder, and models with the tough performance and stability to compete in freeride competitions
