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.
Redster X7 Revoshock C + MI 12 GW — solid intermediates through advanced skiers who spend their days on hard snow and want a quick, grippy frontside carver that stays approachable - including strong skiers who have eased off top speed but still want a precise edge.. 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 | 6 | 8🏆 |

Solid intermediates through advanced skiers who spend their days on hard snow and want a quick, grippy frontside carver that stays approachable - including strong skiers who have eased off top speed but still want a precise edge. It also fits anyone who wants a one-and-done setup: ski, binding, and factory tune in a single purchase.
Never-carved beginners: this is a grippy full-camber carver, and the independent reviews send true beginners to a softer ski. Aggressive experts who want to hold a race-tight arc at full commitment: the X7 is not a race plate - its tail hinges at the limit, and that job belongs to the stiffer X9S. Powder, all-mountain and soft-snow skiers: at 69 mm on full camber it has no float and gets busy in crud. And anyone who wants a flat ski to mount their own binding, or whose settings fall outside the MI 12 GW's DIN 4-12 and roughly 58-140 kg window - the system locks that in.
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.
Redster X7 Revoshock C + MI 12 GW is best for solid intermediates through advanced skiers who spend their days on hard snow and want a quick, grippy frontside carver that stays approachable - including strong skiers who have eased off top speed but still want a precise edge. 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 Redster X7 Revoshock C + MI 12 GW has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 6/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Atomic Redster X7 Revoshock C + 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.
