So is the Revolt 114 just a Confession 2.0 with 3D radius side cut and touch more taper? 146/114/128 vs 144/117/133

Doesn't look like R114 has metal and it's still heavier, more progressive mount point. I guess they are different enough.

See where i described it above in my last reply. It's not like a bodacious and therefore not like a confession either. It really is like if a wildcat/anima had the chop mulching power of a b118. And that was just such a fucking good combination when I had them underfoot.

So you have or have not skied the Confession? I'm hearing it's not like the Confession but then referencing a whole bunch of skis that are not Confessions.

The "b118" meaning black ops?

yes

I have more time on the owned Bodacious than the handful of demo runs i had on a confession, naturally i'd know the former more. But those two skis feel similar; Cons are diet Bodes. So you can make what you will of that assessment.

Love that old zebra graphic. Buddy of mine had a pair back in the mid-80's.

Bought some Revolt 114 in 191 from bamboocoreONLY and messed up my back before even mounting them. Doesn't look like I'll be able to ski them this season. PM if interested.

Got a secondhand set of Revolt 121s mounted up last week, -3.5 because of interference from previous mount. Brought them to Snowbird and got a sleeper pow day Thursday. Holy goddamn shit are these fun. Couldn't have been easier to learn, mega intuitive. Fun even on the groomers back to the lift. 10/10.

Temptation is difficult...help me out here.

Spent some time on the revolt 114 and especially the blaze 114 yesterday. Will report when I've got time.

Some 191cm 114s for sale near Salt Lake City. Not my sale, just a psa.

Edit: just realized they’re asking full retail price. Never mind, carry on.

That's me. Bought them from BCO a week ago and messed up my back before even mounting them. Won't be too upset to keep them till next season if no one bites. Might drop a bit for mags, but that's what I paid for them

Right on. Volkl’s pricing seems like an incredible value! I’m digging the ‘24 top sheets.

[Fred Pabst]

They look awesome. Width is good, tip taper and rocker not to much. Tail rise to me is perfect, cause I totally dislike full twins.

Not to much of a fan of the stink finger graphic though. Kind of nasty. Yeah I'm old.

Rocker looks pretty good to me for it's intended purpose and is not as splayed out as the pictures show.

Volkl incredible value, or are other companies smoking crack wanting $900 for a pair of skis.

That's the hope, they'll be spending most of their days at Mammoth

OK, here goes. Sunday at Mission, lot's of soft new snow with about 10'-15" of med density pow off piste, some over the top of older, firmer chop. Great conditions overall except the viz was terrible, at times just staying close to the trees along the groomers for a reference. Couldn't really open it up and burn the carbon out.

One run on Revolt 114 184cm. Seemed fairly damp and stable, not readily deflected, held an edge OK on the groomer. Frankly, this ski is too center mounted for my taste and really didn't do much for me. Skied short and just didn't feel real engaged.

OK next 4 runs on a Blaze 114 184cm. This ski is right up my alley. Strong on edge and directionally stable. Can be driven into short turns or just rolled into long turns. Didn't hardly get it on any ice but it felt about as damp as you could hope for a ski with no metal. Given, the snow was generally soft but it did not get deflected hardly at all burning through chop and the tail, while directional and supportive, was loose enough to break free on demand in all conditions. The tail kinda reminded me of a BMT 109, not slippery loose but you can bring it around at will. Float...well, didn't get them into many untracked turns but the few I did were low angle and slow wiggles through the trees. They were surprisingly floaty and maneuverable, even at super slow speeds. And, FWIW, I weigh in at a tender 225lb. and they still just bobbed up to the surface. Overall these things exceeded my expectations. Not a monster truck but slotting into the same space as a VW Katana. Need to spend more time on them, especially the 192, which is what I would typically reach for rather than the 184 if they were available to demo.

[SnakeMagnet]

To add the Blaze 114 is exceptional and the only thing that would keep it from any directional skier from loving it as a 50/50 setup would be the final weight of them. Wonderfully loose when you want them to but there's just a microscopic amount of camber to keep a strong edge hold. They were not hooky at all despite that massive tip, but it might make them a little difficult to fit through those really narrow lines.

You would have loved the 191 revolt, same experience with me except i think the 184 had a jank tune or was edge high because it was quite hard to release edge consistently, but not the 191.

[Robik]

So what's the claimed weight of B114?
