What Atomic says about the Bent 100 and the Bent Family of skis

“Playful progression

From freeride to freestyle, the Bent Family delivers the broadest bandwidth of performance characteristics for any terrain. Designed by Chris Benchetler, developed and loved by the Atomic Freeski Team, every Bent is super playful in big mountain powder and fearlessly progressive in the park.

Surfy stability

HRZN Tech delivers more surface area for awesome flotation in deep snow without adding any width or weight to the ski. This feature also creates a more relaxed tip and tail for more playful, progressive performance in freestyle terrain.”

Flex Pattern

Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the Bent 100:

Tips: 5.5-6
Shovels: 6-7.5
In Front of Toe Piece: 8-10
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 10-9
Tails: 8.5-7.5

The flex pattern of this new version of the Bent 100 is very similar to the previous version. It’s a surprisingly strong ski overall, and its back half stays stiffer for longer, relative to the front.
