Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile Revelator Splitboard Images
From first tracks to last light.
For the demanding rider, the Voilé Revelator is indeed backcountry’s ultimate riding machine.
The combination of board’s light weight, shape, profile, flex and camber helps make long uptracks a done deal and downhill rides a dream come true. And when it’s time for the latter, nothing beats our patented system of “Voilé Hooks & Clips” for easy assembly of Revelator’s halves into a single downhill plank.
Thanks to our signature “Voilé Channel Puck System,” adjusting stance width and toe angles is a snap. Using the Voilé Alignment Guide, the screws are loosened and the pucks can then be relocated in virtually any position quickly and without fuss. Many riders will also appreciate how easy the Revelator’s 2.5-degree canted pucks are on their knees.
The Revelator’s Paulownia wood core reduces the overall weight of the board without compromising strength and performance. Carbon fiberglass layers and a longish camber area make for very efficient skinning on the way up and increased stability on the way down. And of course, the board’s large, early-rise nose and tapered tail make deep powder riding seem virtually effortless.
The Revelator. It’s all business in the backcountry, except for huge intervals of fun.

SPECS
The width and radius of Voile splitboards differ from one length to another, so as to deliver uniform performance across the entire size range. Weights may vary slightly from one pair to another due to environmental factors, and by nature of the fact that they are made by hand.

Early Rise Camber
A directional, hard-carving turn personality makes this ski feel very powerful. A more traditional shape, with a turn radius on the longer side. This ski is characterised as stable and assertive.
Tip: Early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder.
Waist: Long running length. Engineered for strong edging ability when fast and steep. Cambered underfoot for stability.
Tail: Minimal taper, with a wide and flat hard-working tail for control in debris and harder conditions.
Ultralight
Full Cap / Paulownia / Double Carbon
Ultralight paulownia construction that shaves nearly a pound for easier ascents.
Anti-Ice Topsheet
Crafted from exceptionally durable polyamide material, and designed with a unique texture that effectively reduces the accumulation of snow and ice. This innovative feature is particularly beneficial during long approaches or in freezing conditions, where snow and ice buildup would normally hinder performance.
Paulownia Wood Core
Renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, this paulownia delivers a combination of durability and featherlight agility. It's the ideal foundation for constructing ultralight touring skis, making it the perfect choice for backcountry enthusiasts seeking maximum efficiency and agility on their mountain adventures.
Voile Carbon-Weave x2
Two layers of Voile Carbon-Weave combine the lightweight strength of carbon fiber with the durability of triaxial fiberglass. The strategic integration of carbon fiber into the ski's construction reduces the weight while providing the perfect blend of responsiveness, stability, and energy transfer, allowing skiers to maneuver with precision and control.
Triaxial Fiberglass
Triaxial fiberglass increases dimensional stability along three axis, providing for balanced torsional stiffness and enhancing your ability to control the ski (precise and firm edge grip). Triaxial fiberglass maintains a consistent flex pattern throughout the ski, ensuring predictable performance across different snow conditions and skiing styles.
Full-Contact Steel Edge
Steel edges provide superior grip and control on hardpacked snow and icy conditions, enhancing stability and confidence while skiing. Two lengths of hardened steel with inset teeth wrap the perimeter of this ski. Each section is painstakingly shaped by hand to ensure a precise layup.
Sintered Black Base
This ski passes on the base graphics for the sake of an ultra-high molecular density base; making for faster downhill performance and greater wear/impact resistance. And you can rest assured that your p-tex repairs will be seamless after your day spent breaking the sound barrier.

I've ridden this splitboard for many years and it continues to shine. It's build with bomber construction and wether you like making bouncy tight turns or pointing down a couloir it will perform. Keep crushing Voile.

The 2019/20 Revelator is a great all-around board. it's really light (weight is practically same as Ascent, while according to spec sheet it weighs 100g or so less; I weighed the boards and couldnt really tell, to within the measurement accuracy of the scale). Let's just say it feels really light. I ride the 159. (Hey there at Voile - why isnt there a 157? But a gap in sizing between the lower range ending at 154 and the higher range starting at 159). Going up is easy, edge hold on ascending traverses is alright. Change-over is easy as well, the equipment now is much more precise and thus easier to operate than years ago (I got my first splitty, a Voile Mojo, about 20 years ago, and things have come a long ways. Also compared to, say, 5 years ago). The board rides really well in all sorts of snow, including crappy spring snow, hardpack and such. The board is stiffer than the Ascent, which in my experience means, it can be controlled more precisely and it's faster. This may be personal preference, but I like to ride technical terrain, tight trees and steeps relatively fast. The board also carries well across exit flats, meadows and such. In all, plenty of reasons to grab the Voile Revelator when out on an exploration (now that I have a small quiver. I used to have just one splitty for a long time). Its really dependable and versatile so you'll always have a good day with it. \nNot that I'm into sales slogans, but it made me think "simple - solid - backcountry".\n I have used boards from other companies, both split and solid.\nOf course a high-end solid board rides best on the descent. However, I'm really positively surprised how well this board rides. Another advantage of Voile gear is - they do not make gender-specific stuff (only the color is different, so be it). Anyone doing a market comparison will notice the price is comparatively low. Enjoy!
Note From Store Owner: Great insight, Uch! The Revelator is the best splitboard for mountaineering objectives for exactly the reasons you describe. The only reason we don't make a 157cm is so that we can keep our unit cost down (more size options, higher unit cost) but we try to tread that line as well as we can. Glad to hear that you're enjoying the 159cm!

Light, but not skimping. Feels solid under foot. Early rise makes for easy skinning, but rides switch fine. This is a true work horse. It’s a quiver of one!!
