![]() Lots to like here.” Nick Wright was also on the 188, noting that it is just right and exactly the size he’d like. I own one from a few years back and use it as a utility ski-great for woods and bumps and skiing with kids, but also can rip some turns on more advanced terrain. Bob calls it a “Really fun and versatile ski for a wide variety of conditions, terrain, and skier types. He gave low scores of 3 for torsional stiffness and edge hold, but a very high spread of scores overall. He scored it 5 out of 5 for playfulness, with 4’s for overall impression, versatility, forgiveness, quickness, maneuverability, stability, and flotation. From steeps and trees to bumps and pow, the Bent 100 continues to be a benchmark ski when it comes to all-mountain and freeride fun.Īs a proud owner of the 188 Bent 100, Bob St.Pierre loves the length and notes it skis true to size. This gives the 100 more of an effective edge versus the wider 110 and 120, but right in line with the narrower cousin, the new Bent 90. Profiled with Atomic’s Powder rocker, the Bent 100 has 70% underfoot camber to go along with 20% tip rocker and 10% in the tail. In the same length, the skis also tip the scales at 1700 grams per ski, which is pretty light given the overall volume of the ski. When you factor in the 100 mm waist width, the skis still generate a 19.5-meter turn radius in the 180 cm length. The ski’s 129.5-mm tip shape remains intact, and pairs well with the 120 mm tail. By bowing out the ends of the skis, Atomic is able to increase surface area without increasing width. ![]() Built with a poplar wood core, the skis get Atomic’s HRZN tips and tails for flotation. The skis have returned structurally the same, and that’s great news for skiers who have loved this version in the past, but want more of a stylistic update. With a new graphic and a reduced name for 2023, the Bent 100 continues the tradition of being one of the most fun and well-rounded skis on the planet. ![]()
