Atomic Bent 100 Skis 2025

MVB (MOST VALUABLE BENT).

REVIEWED BY: Joe Riccio

Dating back to its inaugural year in 2018, the Atomic Bent 100 has cemented itself as one of the legendary (and top-selling) ski models of all time and it's back for 2025 with a few minor construction tweaks that will only build upon the legacy. The new Bent maintains everything we loved about the old ski; a freestyle shape that provides impressively strong performance at high speeds and on firm snow. The most noticeable difference comes from an update in the rocker profile, where ~5% more rocker was added to the tail. It's not a ton, but that's a good thing. It gives the ski more maneuverability without sacrificing core characteristics that allow it to feel so confident. Our testers found that the added rocker to the new Bent 100 does make it ski a touch shorter than the previous versions of the ski. 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. Aside from those times you're making quicker shorter turns, the new ski doesn't feel majorly different and is an improvement overall.  It checks all the boxes a freestyle ski should and stands out in its category with its ability to perform on firm snow and maintain composure at high speeds. That's what is and always has been what makes the Bent 100 one of the most impressive and exciting skis out there. 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 other skis in this category. Beyond the frontside, to nobody's surprise, the Bent 100 rocks. 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. 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 park laps to tree runs, the Bent 100 is up to the challenge. 

Who is the Bent 100 for? People who love skiing. Skiers who want versatility and have a more playful style. Skiers who truly ski all over the mountain. 

Who isn't Bent 100 for? Skiers looking for a really powerful, burly, hard snow focused ski. Skiers who prefer a solid, less playful ski.
