Atomic Bent 100 Skis 2026

Since its inaugural year in 2018, the Atomic Bent 100 has cemented itself as one of the legendary ski models of all time. Aside from a fresh new graphic from Chris Bentchetler's lab, it's back and unchanged from the upgrade it got last season. For another season, the Bent remains one of the top dogs among playful, freeride, all-mountain 100mm skis. The Bent has always stood out because, for a ski with such a playful personality, it provides impressively strong performance at high speeds and on firm snow. This became even more true last season when Atomic added 5% more rocker in the tail, making the ski more playful, without sacrificing core characteristics that allow it to feel so confident at higher speeds. The updated rocker profile makes it easier to release the tail, making pivots quicker, and giving the ski a snappier feel coming out of a carve. Even on bulletproof East Coast days, the Bent offers enough bite and edge hold to inspire confidence from turn to turn. That doesn't mean this is a carving ski; it just handles hard snow better than most other skis in this category.

Beyond the frontside, to nobody's surprise, the Bent 100 rules. It's light and quick underfoot through tight trees, soft snow, and technical terrain, making it an awesome option for skiers who want a nimble ski ready to tackle some more challenging terrain. In the park, it feels like a park ski. It's light, balanced, and is totally comfortable landing or taking off switch. It's predictable, easy to balance on, and can be pushed hard. Combine those things and you have one of the most versatile options out there. This is a great option for skiers who want a ski that can handle everything. From groomers to soft snow to tree runs to park laps, the Bent 100 is down.
