PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These skis span 2 categories (Carving, All-Mountain Freestyle). Scores reflect each ski's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Cloud Q14 Revoshock S + MI 12 GW — confident, technically able women who carve firm groomers and give the ski input - strong intermediate to expert - and want a hard-snow edge above all, first chair to last.. Bent 100 — intermediate and better skiers who value a light, quick, playful ride and drive the ski with finesse rather than muscle.. Check the radar chart below to see where each one wins.
Each row compares all skis on one dimension. 🏆 marks the highest score.

| Park | 1 | 7🏆 |
| Playfulness | 5 | 9🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 5 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 8🏆 | 5 |
| Powder | 2 | 6🏆 |
Confident, technically able women who carve firm groomers and give the ski input - strong intermediate to expert - and want a hard-snow edge above all, first chair to last. It suits skiers who live on-piste on hardpack-heavy days and prize edge grip and stability over float.
Powder, deep-snow and off-piste skiers: at 75 mm on a fully cambered ski there is almost nothing to float on - this is a groomer tool, full stop. Timid or passive skiers who cruise flat and want the ski to do the work: it wants edge input and grips hard, and one on-snow crew flatly called it not a ski for the timid. True beginners and first-ski buyers: it is a DIN 4-12 system carver that rewards a skier who drives it, not a learner. And anyone chasing a light setup should look elsewhere - with the binding, this is a heavy system. Sources split on how demanding it is, from forgiving-and-easy to serious-carving-ski; PTO sides with treating it as a strong-intermediate-to-expert carver, so match the length to the skier's aggression.
Intermediate and better skiers who value a light, quick, playful ride and drive the ski with finesse rather than muscle. It rewards people who like to press, slash and ride switch, plus lighter or less aggressive skiers who do not want to fight a heavy ski, and anyone after one do-it-all ski that still floats on a soft day. It also makes a light resort-to-sidecountry option.
Skiers who want a metal ski's hard-snow bite and race-like precision: with a light woodcore and no metal laminate, the Bent 100 handles a groomer but will not match a metal ski's edge hold on firm snow or feel as locked-in on ice. Heavier, aggressive skiers who charge through cut-up crud will feel the light build deflect - a metal all-mountain ski like the Nordica Enforcer 100 tracks that line better. True beginners should skip it too; independent reviews place it at intermediate and up. And if deep powder is the priority, the wider Bent 110 or Chetler 120 is the better tool.
Cloud Q14 Revoshock S + MI 12 GW is best for confident, technically able women who carve firm groomers and give the ski input - strong intermediate to expert - and want a hard-snow edge above all, first chair to last. Bent 100 is best for intermediate and better skiers who value a light, quick, playful ride and drive the ski with finesse rather than muscle. The right choice depends on your terrain, ability, and riding style.
Atomic Cloud Q14 Revoshock S + MI 12 GW has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 8/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Atomic Cloud Q14 Revoshock S + MI 12 GW leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 9/10.
Atomic Bent 100 has the highest Forgiveness score here at 8/10. Forgiveness is one factor in progression, not a claim that every beginner should choose it.
