Atomic Bent 100 Skis 2024

HELL BENT ON BEING AWESOME.

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

The Atomic Bent 100 is one of our favorite skis. It can handle a huge variety of terrain, grips better than you'd expect, and it looks awesome. This is an all-mountain ski with freestyle DNA. It checks all the boxes you'd expect a ski in this category to: It pivots on a dime, loves soft snow, and has a low swing weight and balanced feel if you're a park skier or just have a more creative style. It does all that with no problem, but what separates this ski from other playful skis in that 100mm range is its ability to perform on firm snow, and maintain composure at high speeds. That's what makes the Bent 100 one of the most impressive and exciting skis out there. Even on bulletproof East Coast days, the Bent offers enough bite and edge hold to inspire confidence from turn to turn no matter how comfortable you are on skis. That doesn't mean this is a carving ski, it just handles hard snow better than other skis in this category, so it's surprisingly good at carving. Kinda like you're really athletic friend who is annoyingly good at just about everything. Beyond the frontside, to nobody's surprise, the Bent 100 rocks. It's light and quick underfoot through tight trees, soft snow, and technical terrain making it an awesome option for skiers who want a nimble ski ready to tackle some more challenging terrain. The other reason why this ski lives on our top tested list is due to the fact that it works for a range of skier types, from beginners all the way up to experts. It's predictable, easy to balance on, can be pushed hard and it's always happy to just cruise. Combine those things and you have one of the most versatile options out there. This is a great option for skiers who want a ski that can handle everything. From groomers to soft snow to park laps to tree runs, the Bent 100 is up to the challenge. 

Who is the Bent 100 for? People who love skiing. Skiers who want versatility and have a more playful style. Skiers who truly ski all over the mountain. 

Who isn't Bent 100 for? Skiers looking for a really powerful, burly, more hard snow focused ski. Skiers who prefer a solid, less playful ski.
