The Atomic Bent 100 is a do-everything freeride ski. As part of Chris Benchetler's Freeride series with Atomic, the Bent 100 features a lot of the same feel as the rest of the family, but in an ultra versatile 100mm option.
The Bent 100 is a great all-around ski, featuring a directional twin tip design, short double rocker and HRZN Tech. Adding up to some very playful and manoeuvrable tips and tails. However this isn't just a soft jib ski, the midsection of the ski is heavily cambered and reasonably stiff. Hard snow performance was definitely high on the priority list with Chris when designing this ski.
Chris's influence lies heavily in the Freeride Backcountry category, and that's where this ski sits neatly. The Bent 100 weighs in at 1700g per ski, easily light enough to put some Touring Bindings on and not be burdened by a heavy setup. If you are coming from a Freestyle background and are looking for a set of Touring Skis, these are definitely a great choice.
