The read

Atomic's Bent 100 is a freeride ski built for powder and freestyle riding, rated for intermediate to expert skiers. Its 100mm waist sits near the middle of the freeride category, and a rocker-camber-rocker profile aids float in soft snow while retaining edge grip underfoot. The poplar wood core with no metal keeps the ski light and lively, suiting skiers who want a playful, maneuverable ride in off-piste terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Bent 100's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 19.0-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a poplar wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,700 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 100 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
