Are people complaining about their edges catching even if they detune because of volkls special edge? It says they are aluminum so idk if this makes a difference but I’d like to hear what the people want to say.

And I know you guys are gonna say it says mostly for racing or all mountain but I think all of the revolts count as an all mountain ski.

I searched up volkl edges and this showed up
Plus I don’t know many places a ski has metal other than underfoot and the edge

The titanal is a thin layer typically above and below the core, like a sandwich. The edges are normal steel edges.

Alright good to know but do u have any idea why people are complaining that they stick? Decided to throw this idea out there cuz idk what else would effect the rail capability.

Probably just a shitty tune / not detuned enough.

I have detuned my Revolt 95s 4 times and now I’ve got 2 edge cracks on the same ski. They will ride fine and then get super fucked and cut up (around 5th lap through park) enough to where it will dig into the rail when I set my leading inner edge. It is driving me INSANE. I have tried everything. I just don’t understand why I am having so many issues with these damn edges.

it’s like steel pulls away and up so it’s more like between base edge and side edge. I’m so over these skis in the park.
