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.
Laser WRT Pro — expert skiers and former racers who spend most days on groomers and hardpack.. 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.
| Dimension | Laser WRT Pro | Bent 100 |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 10🏆 | 6 |
| Park | 2 | 7🏆 |
| Playfulness | 6 | 9🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 3 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 9🏆 | 5 |
| Powder | 3 | 6🏆 |
Expert skiers and former racers who spend most days on groomers and hardpack. Skiers who want the absolute best edge grip and precision Stöckli offers.
Intermediate skiers, powder days, or anyone looking for an all-mountain ski. If you want something more forgiving from Stöckli, look at the Laser SC or standard WRT.
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.
Laser WRT Pro is best for expert skiers and former racers who spend most days on groomers and hardpack. 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.
Stöckli Laser WRT Pro has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 9/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Stöckli Laser WRT Pro leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 10/10.
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.
