PTO Review
We know them. Here's how they stack up.
These skis span 2 categories (Freeride, All-Mountain Freestyle). Scores reflect each ski's intended use — direct comparison across all dimensions may be misleading.
Sender Soul 102 — intermediate-to-advanced skiers who want one do-it-all ski.. 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 | Sender Soul 102 | Bent 100 |
|---|---|---|
| Carving | 6🏆 | 6🏆 |
| Park | 4 | 7🏆 |
| Playfulness | 8 | 9🏆 |
| Forgiveness | 7 | 8🏆 |
| Stability | 7🏆 | 5 |
| Powder | 7🏆 | 6 |
Intermediate-to-advanced skiers who want one do-it-all ski. The soul skier who arcs groomers in the morning, hunts soft snow in the afternoon, and hits side features on the way to the lift. Especially good in the PNW where conditions change hourly.
Dedicated chargers who want maximum stability. True powder specialists who need 110mm+. Groomer purists who'd be better served by the Arcade line.
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.
Sender Soul 102 is best for intermediate-to-advanced skiers who want one do-it-all ski. 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.
Rossignol Sender Soul 102 has the highest Stability score in this comparison at 7/10. That score compares composure; it does not by itself mean the product is the most versatile choice.
Rossignol Sender Soul 102 leads Carving in this comparison with a PTO score of 6/10.
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.
