Don’t recognize that topsheet and I know Birk usually rides the Bash 86

Looks like a similar concept to last years which I didn’t love

Völkl said they’re doing same topsheet for this year too. That’s why it’s odd

But isn’t revolt 87 full sidewall? That’s only partial underfoot - like the Bash 86. The revolt 95 has full sidewall too

Heard rumors about a new Revolt87 coming 22/23. I saw Jon Sallinen having a similar pair as Birk on IG. Team could be
testing the protos/samples to get used to the new ski before comp season starts. It's olympic year after all.

That’s probably what it is. Same ski

I just straight up asked him. He said the 87 is going to a 90.
