What would you recommend? This will feel more like the Blaze, but not quite as floaty or smeary as the Atomic. We'll post to our social media accounts to let those inquiring minds get first dibs. Due the skis rocker profile and turned up tails, go for the 188 length! Looking for a bit of a one-ski quiver for the days they arent on race skis and want to play in the trees, park and bumps. Wider, more rockered, and more flexible yes, but not really more powerful. The light weight woodcore keeps this ski light and responsive.

Bad i know but you gotta have good looking skis , Jake, Skill wise, youll be able to control your speed with snowplowing, wedging, or forming a pizza. At your sons stats at 5"4 and 132 pounds and because he is still growing, go for the 164 cm length. I think the 90 is going to be a great ski for a lot of people--it certainly represents a more playful ski than the Ripstick Black, and will be totally perfect for bumps and tight trees as well as park and some powder.
Thanks!
For example, East Coast skiers may have visions of skiing wide open powder fields, but the reality is that 9/10 theyll have to navigate tight trees before finding their 100 yard straight shot of glory.
I have been looking at the 175cm bent 90 / 172cm bent 100 / 172cm 90 black crows Captis.
SE. For skate skiing, poles should be a bit longer. And like all other models in the Bent family it features a top sheet and base art by Chris Benchetler. Have fun! Well, maybe not, but you get my point. The new lineup will consist of five models that offer playful progression from freeride to freestyle while still maintaining its place as a competent all mountain ski. Another application of the Bent 90 will be park.
Conversely, skiers who are exceptionally light should stick towards to smaller side of the scale, for similar reasons.
Heck, you could probably even ski blindfolded and with your hands tied behind your back. SE. To determine your size, simply flip a ski pole over, grab it under the basket, and place the handle on the ground. Myself?
HI Ryan!
HI Greg!
Do you think a BC 100 in 180 cm would be a good replacement? HI Tim!
Then theres the 100. If the number you see has a decimal, then youre probably looking at your Mondo Point size which isnt accurate enough to use when mounting bindings.
Also would they ski bumps and chopped up powder ok as well? If youve looked all over and still cant find your BSL, its also acceptable to measure along the bottom of the boot from the very tip of the toe, to back of the heel- just make sure you measure in Millimeters! Find your street shoe size on the chart, determine men's, women's, or kid's, and find the corresponding Mondo size! HI Gary!
If you're looking for a harder charger, check out the Nordica Enforcer 110 or 115, Black Crows Anima, Rossignol Gamer, or Salomon QST Blank. Some certainly will, but if off-trail skiing becomes your preference, chances are youve graduated to the next level.
The edge grip is fine underfoot, a bit less as you get into the more flexible tips and tails.
Don't hesitate to give us a call at (877) 812-6710 and let us help you. Im considering the Bent 90 for an all-mountain ski.
Also, looks like youre out of stock with these. Wed also take a guess that this is still the ski that Chris Bentchetler himself will spend the most time on.
I'd also check out the new BC90 if you're looking for some more pop to the ski, and that's going to be a nice price point at 499.
have fun!
Award winning design and build since 2008. (Sure, it tells me whether I'll hate the skis or not, but it doesn't say so much about how they'll perform.) Almost pulled the trigger on the 2022 Bent Chetler 100s last season but once the 90s got announced I decided to wait and think about it over summer. As a larger skier (6'2 225), I can fold it pretty easily in the bumps and chop, but I feel that lighter skiers would have a much easier/more fun time on these skis in those conditions. Intermediates, tweeners, teens, and skiers looking for a simplistic, well-rounded ski that wont break the bank are going to love the value in the Bent 85.
I need to stop watching these reviews while I still have money.
Chairlift Chat is the official blog of Skiessentials.com.
As weve seen, thats plenty light to justify a Shift or other alpine touring binding. Hi guys, love your reviews.
Now these have me second guessing! They wanted to create a go anywhere, do everything ski and they did exactly that. SE. Is the 110 too flexible? Your email address will not be published.
On evo and a few other sites it says the 110 DOES have the carbon backbone like the 120 but in this video you said they didn't and I'm not seeing that on the website. While the poplar wood core keeps things light and fun. Finding the proper length ski pole is important as ski poles too long will actually shift your center of balance to behind you, and a pole that's too short will put it in front of you.
You might lack in the tour department, but they're all great soft-snow skis with more power than the Bent. I am 183cm tall and weigh 92 kg Nope! Then parabolic shapes came along.
Whats nice is that now, with the 110, east coast skiers have a width thats going to be a little more appropriate, with western skiers still having the 120 to maximize float for those super-deep days that, unfortunately, we rarely see here in Vermont.
SE.
Its directional shape and Dura Cap sidewall command power and control while carving corduroy or slashing fresh snow. Overall, were psyched about these new skis.
It used to be that if you extended your arm upwards, you should be able to reach the tips of your skis.
We have reviews of the 110 out currently, and the 90 later today.
Does the 188 length seem like a mistake?
Not quite the waist deep powder ski of its big brother but a fully capable freeride or possible touring ski that can handle its own in the backcountry.
It doesn't seem like a big drop in flotation because they're similarly rockered and profiled.
Ok, so maybe not the best, but you certainly could be a contendah, kid.
SE. Hopefully we got enough! Designed by legendary freeskier and artist, Chris Benchetler, and tested and developed by Atomic freeski athletes. I ski fast on piste but always stop for some playful side hits and and any jumps I can find. While change is fun, ultimately, were happy to see it back unchanged because its simply already really good. Required fields are marked *. Im currently using the bent chetler 100 in 172 which I enjoy as an all ant ski. From what I've experienced so far, you just can't stand on the Bent 110 like you can the Enforcer, but my guess is that I won't be able to drift and slash on the Enforcer like I will on the Bent 110. I was thinking that: We've had the people from Sooth Skis come in and measure a bunch of our stuff in the warehouse--it's about as comprehensive as it gets for pure analytical data. The 110 shares more characteristics with the 120 than the 100, at least thats how it feels to us.
SE. Inquiring minds want to know!
Then rocker technology came along, and, long story short, theres way more room for preference and interpretation than ever before. Hoping to make it up north and hit some New England resorts this next season as well (hopefully make it out west eventually!) So you can measure yourself, or you can just check out our handy-dandy chart below. The store will not work correctly in the case when cookies are disabled. The Bent Chetler skis have always felt like theyre focused on having fun. And which size would you recomend?
Like the Bent 120 and 100. We get a Light Woodcore with Atomics Densolite construction method.
Youre likely still pretty cautious in regards to your speed, but are able to stop on demand and have a bit more confidence that youll make it to the bottom in one piece. SE.
HI Andrew! Turn radii range from 11.6 in the 150 cm length to 17.6 m in the longest 175 cm length. So will the 110 just be too wide and flappy when trying to ski reds and black slopes?
SE. Interestingly, over the years, weve had a lot of skiers comment on our videos and articles mentioning how much they like it on firm snow too. Well keep everyone updated as we know more about their availability. The rule of thumb for skate poles is that they should come between your lip and your nose.

Finding your Boot Sole Length (BSL) is easy.
Sure, it gets deep here, but very rarely its multiple-feet-deep as were seeing in some areas of the country right now. Weird question though, instead of raving about all that these skis can do, could you point out where each of these skis may fall short? The Bent Chetler has always been designed for skiers who want playful, freestyle-inspired performance in deep snow, and this 110 carries that trend forward.
Most intermediate skiers will be tempted to wander off trail, but may not be brave enough quite yet.
As the 2023 100 and the 110 graphics are what's selling it to me. After 14 years of award winning success, Atomic is now expanding its Bent Chetler line with the addition of three new models in 2023 Atomic Bent family.
SE. Of course, its become so much more than that, and everyone from teenagers that never leave the park to directional all-mountain skiers who never set foot in the park have found something to like (love) about the Bent 100.
We are Australian so no real powder days here however ski Canadian West Coast resorts each year too.
The good news is that the all around quality of skis is increasing, making it more possible than ever to find a ski that fits your specific style and preferences.
That 85 is going to be a fantastic ski for a lot of skiers, but geez, these 90s and 110s are sweet. Talk to a Skier: href='/Chairlift-Chat/DPS-Phantom-2-Wax-System-Explanation'. Oh man every review makes me want more skis!
If you're holding the right size pole, you'll notice that your elbow forms a perfect 90 degree angle between your bicep and forearm. Today, Atomic announces another major development in the Bent Chetler series. SE. I'm 5' 10" 190lbs, more advance/aggressive style skiier, Got any tips or recommendations? The other is 17 years, 168cm and 60kg. This increases energy a little bit, helping to give the Bent Chetler 120 the bouncy, playful feel that so many skiers love about it. How would these do with the market duke 12pt?
The 100, however, opened up the Bent Chetler name to a whole slew of new skiers who didnt necessarily need a ~120 underfoot ski, but wanted that Bent Chetler experience. Hi Ben! 172 or 180? These look awesome. Another new addition to the Atomic Bent family, the Bent 90 is the Bent ski for everyone. And due to its rocker profile and 90-millimeter waist, you will still be able to float well in 2-4" of snow and plow through soft snow and spring conditions when you are luckily enough to experience them. SE, Hi , awesome reviews, usually reading reviews diagonally, but here I read top to bottom and bottom to top We're hoping to get them in early February!
Hi David! Youve made it to the next level in skiing. While the BC 100 uses camber built in to get the energy from the ski, the Nomad has fiberglass, rubber, and a mixed wood core of poplar and paulownia to go along with a lower camber profile, so they build the energy with the construction.
Hi! SE. SE, what length of Bent 100 should I choose if my height is 176? In most cases, this is the right call, but skiers should be geo-conscious before buying more than they can handle.
Check the charts below to see which size you need. SE. Making the 110 a great choice for skiers looking for a ski with freestyle type flex without sacrificing its backcountry capabilities. Check the accompanying YouTube video to see the skis in action. Take a look at the chart below, and if you have any trouble figuring out your size range, scroll past the cart to where we provide more information regarding these categories.
Can it hold an edge in more icy conditions? If it shows up in our product description when we put them for sale, it's incorrect. The Bent 110 is designed with HRZN Tech Tip and Tail for a playful performance in powder and maneuverability through tougher crud and chop. The Atomic Bent 120 is the perfect ski for the aggressive powder hungry skier, that is looking to add a powder specific freeride ski to their arsenal. Any departure from those characteristics would be a departure from what makes a Bent a Bent Chetler, so were happy to see that they retain their freestyle/freeride influence in every width. I think the 90 is a great overall choice, and I'd go 180 in that ski.
The 85 and 90, specifically, are really going to open up the line to a lot of skiers. These new skis all share some similarities.
Combine that with the HRZN Tech in the tip and tail for increased surface area and you have the recipe for a playful powder ski. SE. Sure, there are more powerful skis, lighter skis, and softer-flexing twin-tips, but this new Bent series of skis has a nice blend of performance that satisfies a huge range of skiers. That wouldnt be much fun, however, so lets recap what makes this ski great. Mount points are further forward on the 110 and 120 than a lot of powder skis, especially those with specifically directional shapes. Hi Jake! The bad news, is that it can be a bit more difficult to do- but thats why were here. Love all the reviews y'all do, if only my paychecks could keep up with all these new releases!
I'd go with the 120 in the 184 as they feel short the same way your 100 does.
This ski hits an impressive price point of $399. It's a different feel for sure, especially in the tail, but I hear what you're saying, and we said the same thing last year when we were skiing the Mav 100. Youre that good at skiing. So would you say for me to go for the 90's for more piste ski and keep my 100's for freestyle and slight powder for when i improve?
HI Sebastian! For help with Nordic Ski sizing, please call us at: (877) 812-6710. Yes, I agree and concur with your thought here. Hi, Im an intermediate skier: 178cm tall and 74kg. This is what used to be referred to as Expert until rocker skis came along and let experts go back to over head ski lengths.
It always has, actually, which is certainly one of the reasons Atomic has sold so many of them. Hey just wondering how many of the 100s you ordered?
These skis truly are one of the most versatile on the market. The Atomic Bent 85 is a beginner to intermediate all mountain/park ski perfect for people just starting out or junior skiers looking for a pair skis to fill the gap while you transition to intermediate to advanced adult skis. While youll still need a final adjustment done before you can ski, providing us with your boot sole length is absolutely crucial if youd like us to send your skis pre-mounted with your bindings.
Any more suggestions or is the 110 a good option? While this isnt a free pass to say screw all that, I know I need 210s!, it is an official recognition that different skiers have different preferences which can easily change the length of ski they purchase.
For the 2022/23 ski season, Atomic has just announced the expansion of the line, now including a total of four Bent skis to go along with Chris Bentchetlers signature model, the Bent Chetler 120. This guide is for Alpine Skis. This is an awesome addition to the line for a lot of people. Weve already seen other manufacturers somewhat annoyed that theyre offering it at that price point, and we can certainly understand that response. This ski can be found in the park, trees, moguls and everywhere in between. Steering towards the 90 as I ski mainly in France on piste with some side hits and tree lines but considering as I have only skied 170cm long skis im Unsure if the 175cm would be too long to handle. (bent 110 is listed at 850 instead of 599) Looking for a wider ski for those soft powder days instead of my Kore 93's.
Have fun!
I'm torn between the Bent 90 175 vs the Bent 100 172. HI Al! 2. since these skis are so light and maneuverable, and It all started with a powder ski way back in 2007.
Same light woodcore and HRZN Tech Tip & Tail that make this ski a breeze to roll edge to edge and maneuver in the park, trees or even moguls. Would the 110s be enough float for a soft snow oriented ski out west? Until then, Whats the best way to be notified the moment you have the new line up in stock?
From powder to piste this is the ski of choice for any day. HI Neil! Hi Gary! I'd get the 184. Currently looking at purchasing a pair of new Bents for my teenage boys. The Bent 120 is Chris Benchetlers signature ski and big brother of the Bent ski family. Preference: Finally, theres preference.
If the pole is too long, then your forearm will be angled slightly up.
We talk about limitations of those two models in the videos. Have fun! The 184/180 cm lengths would be too big a jump for them at this stage. SE. If youre looking to buy a powder ski, the natural notion is to go a bit longer. I think the 90 in the 175 makes the most sense. Yup, I think that's a great option.
Christophe.
What would you recommend from the Atomic BC line 90, 100 ? Get both new models! This ski hits a $499 price point, and goodness gracious so many skiers are going to love this thing. HI Dylan! Have fun! This all-mountain ski was the first slimmed-down version of the award-winning signature 120 model to be introduced a few years ago.
Expectations from an on-piste standpoint should be tempered, though, as there's just no way the two compare in a carved turn.
Man new size's sound great. I'm a lighter skiier at 5'11 140 and during a recent demo I found the 2021 Bent Chetler 100s in 173cm to be a little slow turning in the trees and heavier than I'm used to. I have this idea of turning this into my resort touring ski. Yes, we're expecting an early February delivery and they should be up and online. It's about as fun as it gets in the bumps and trees, and carves a pretty clean turn as well. In fact, when the Bent 100 was first introduced, I got a chance to interview Chris Bentchetler and he specifically said the 100 filled the role as his personal park ski. Too short, and you'll find your forearm angled downward.
Hi Chin!
I dont go crazy fast but definitely looking to progress in speed. I'm mostly skiing some east coast groomers but do like to dip into the trees occasionally when the PA weather allows.
SE. https://www.skiessentials.com/2022-atomic-bent-chetler-100-skis-w-tyrolia-attack2-14-gw-bindings.html. Can you clarify? For price point, we get $100 savings from the 120 at a very reasonable $699.
With a waist width of 100mm underfoot this advanced to expert level all mountain/freeride ski feels at home in bounds and out.
For classic or touring poles, the correct size pole should reach your armpit.
2023 Atomic Bent Chetler Ski Series Preview.
Use: This is a question thats most relevant to advanced or expert skiers: Where are you skiing? Black diamond, double black diamond, centuple black diamond, it doesnt even matter. Im 510, 200, and ski mostly piste but go for trees anytime i can find.
I like the extra stability on groomers, and with 102mm waist widths, the extra length allows me to use these skis in light powder on those rare East Coast days. Super stoked!
We talk about matching gear all the time, it's not a small thing.
However here in the Alps we rarely get such deep days so I ride BC camox as my go anywhere ski. and which length and position of the bindings ? Learning park atm so im not the best but im improving.
Intermediate: Congratulations!
Thank you for the baller intro and overview, this ski line up basically had me pulling out my credit card halfway through the video. Patrick, Have fun! Is it weird these may compete directly with their own Maverick lineup?
I don't think the 184 will be too long, mainly if you know you're okay with head-high skis.
Wow, great video as usual.
It feels a little long to me in bumps and trees, so Im looking for an alternative. Expert: Hands down, youre the best skier on the mountain.
Rather than snowplow your way down blue squares, youre able to use the shape of your skis to make parabolic or carving turns. Been torn between all mountain vs thinner free. Atomic Bent Chetler "Bent" Line - 2023 Ski Review. Thats really light.
Hahah the 90s would compliment my rip stick 96 black edition! SE, Thanks, i appreciate the reply. Comparison to Enforcer 110 would be lovely. Jeff and Bob have been skiing the 110 quite a bit over the past week, and its got such a fun, loose, surfy feel. Turns will be slow and steady, and at the end of your time as a beginner, youll be starting to tip your skis to turn rather than pushing yourself to turn with your heels. Hope that helps! How do the 100s compare to something like the Icelantic Nomad 95s? It's a great metric for a modern ski and is really useful information for making remote purchasing decisions. Quick question: Do you see them selling out or do you think you'll have enough stock for a while? This is the number that our ski techs will use to mount your bindings. The Atomic Punx collection is on its way out, with these Bent skis taking its place, and with the wide range of mount points on the 90 and 100, skiers will be able to really customize the ski to accomplish what they want to do. Ski lengths on our chart above will fall somewhere between your nose and eyebrows.
HI Lin!
I size up. 17 year old: 90- 175 cm 100-172 cm.
If you measure a Men's 8/Mondopoint 26, please select 26.5, for example. When atomic decided to add a scaled down version of the 120 they did it with one thing in mind. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
I'd go 90's for the on-trail stuff and the 100 I find is a very good floater as well as being versatile. Hi Sean! I'm looking to upgrade from my k2 press 85 169s that I have been rocking since 2015 now that I'm out of college (way due for an upgrade). I think that's a great choice, and likely the idea behind a ski like that 89Ti--does it all, and carves incredibly well. Based on the fact that you are east coast skier, PA and hopefully New England, it would make the most sense to go with the narrower version Bent 90. Then skis got wider. The ultimate one ski quiver for the inbounds and dubbed the Swiss Army knife - the perfect all-mountain/park ski by Atomic's freestyle ski athletes Nico and Miguel Porteous. Ski Sizing can be tricky, thanks to a combination of the ever changing ski technology. I've seen others publish splay measurements, but that doesn't tell me as much. Hi Martin!
TIA. SE. On the other hand, the camber underfoot still gives you some grip and pop. Use tab to navigate through the menu items. We'll get the prices sorted out when we get them in early February, but we should be listing the 110 for $699--Atomic's site is likely using their MSRP, which is usually not what you'll see in stores or online.
Last week, we got our first look at these new skis. They have the same breakdown in rocker/camber with a 20/70/10 split, both have HRZN Tech tips and tails, and the construction is basically identical between them.
Im looking into getting into the BC line, just unsure of the size and which waist which i should get.
3. since the rocker tips make them ski shorter. Lengths range from 164 to 188 with the 180 cm length coming in at 1700 grams.
Hi Kevin, The rocker profile is slightly different with a breakdown of 25/50/25.
One is 15 years, 172cm tall and 55kg. I'm slightly concerned that at my size (6'3 225 and with a lot of weight up top), that the Bent (even in the 188) will feel a bit twitchy for me while I have no such issues with the Enforcer. When do you expect to get more in?
I've heard so many great things about it already! Have fun! SE. Looking for Some Guidance? Unlike the 120, the Bent 110 does not have the carbon stringers for added stiffness. I already have the 2020 Bent Chetler 100 but after seeing this graphics upgrade im sorry but i need to buy a new pair. We expect a ton of people are going to take advantage of the $499 Bent Chetler 90, and rightfully so. Hi Matt! Hope that helps, and keep an eye out for the longer review! I did not find the 110 or 120 to be any more "aggressive" than the 100's. Howcome the prices you list on here are different then what Atomic's own website says?
Please keep in mind that ski boots DO NOT come in half-sizes. Made from a compound wood core, Dura Cap Sidewall construction and with a 85mm waist, the Bent 85 offers snappy edge to edge performance at a modest price.
The narrowest of the new 5-ski collection is the new Bent 85.
Still may be on the long side, but they do ski short, so it should be fine for a dedicated powder ski. HI Stephen! SE - are you suggesting that is too long to maneuver bumps and trees easily and I should get the 180's instead? What length would you recommend on Bent 90 as an all-mountain ski.
Thats what skiing is all about, right?
Maybe compared to other top performing all mountain skis? We hope to have them in stock and online by early February. We'll post on our social media channel when they're up and ready for purchase.
Still have questions? The Bent 90s construction is nearly identical to the 100 just in a narrower form. If you're on the other end of the spectrum, I'd go 172. Lets just say Im really looking forward to the individual reviews for each one of these skis. The 120 gets one construction additive compared to all the other Bent Chetler skis, Atomics Carbon Backbone.
In Atomics words "Atomic Bent Chetler 100 is a go-everywhere, do-everything all-mountain ski. I am looking into the bent 110 in a 180 as I think the 120 will be a bit too wide.
My boyfriend, who is 172cm and 75kg skis the 120 at 192cm and is trying to talk me into getting the 120 but I feel like its going to be too wide for me? It's entirely possible and very common for boots with the same Mondo Point to have different Boot Sole Lengths. With a weight of 1700G (at 180) these skis are a perfect option for skiers who occasionally skin the backcountry in search of untracked snow or side country explorers who like to ski tree lines and their favorite resort. The top sheet, base, shape and construction were designed by Chris Bentchetler himself and has been refined over the years. Definitely does not have carbon backbone.
In reality, I think it's worth getting the 110's for softer snow--I just don't think it's sensible to re-buy a ski based on graphics, but I'm also not going to talk you out of it! SE. Lengths would be as s follows for both the 90 and 100 Atomic BC skis. I'm same 6' height and 195lb weight as Stephen, and ski mostly off piste in Tahoe. Im 155cm tall and 49kg, will the 110, 172cm be too big for me for a dedicated powder ski? We could probably just skip this part as most skiers are well-versed in the Bent (Chetler) 100 by this point, and it returns for the 22/23 ski season with just a new topsheet cosmetic.
Your email address will not be published.
Your boot sole length is the actual length of your ski boot, in millimeters.
I have been considering adding a pair of Maverick 86 or Armada Declivity 88c to my quiver.
Ski Bum Reviews 2023 Atomic Bent family ski review.
I'm liking the rocker profile numbers here. Think of it as a shoe size, like a "size 11" for example. We do get basically the same construction as the 100, however, with a weight coming in at 1750 grams in the 180 cm length.
