Atomic N BENT 110 Red/Yellow

The Atomic Bent 110 is a playful, powder-leaning twin tip built around a light poplar wood core and Atomic's HRZN Tech — a horizontal edge rocker baked into the tip and tail that adds surface area without extra weight, so the ski floats into soft snow smoothly and sheds grip when you want to pivot, smear, or slash rather than bite and carve. This is a freestyle-minded ski in the Bent (Chetler) family: a true twin tip that rides switch, butters, and takes side hits and park laps in stride, not a directional hardpack charger. There is no titanal, no metal of any kind — what you feel underfoot is quickness and a lively, easy character that comes from the camber and the wood core, not from a damp, suspended ride. The 25/50/25 rocker-camber-rocker profile keeps enough camber to track and edge on firmer snow without feeling heavy or demanding, and at around 1,750 grams per ski in the 180 it is genuinely light for a 110mm waist — you feel that in how little effort it takes to redirect. This is a flat ski, so pair it with your own binding.

This suits advanced to expert skiers who want one setup that can handle a powder day but isn't so wide or so dedicated to deep snow that it becomes a chore when things firm up — skiers who like to slash, surf, spin, and ride switch more than they like to lay down clean arcs on hardpack. It's at home in trees, side-country laps, the park, and days when the snow changes halfway down. Who should not buy it: if you spend most of your time on groomers or mixed hardpack and want edge hold and damping at speed, the lack of any metal layer will show — the Bent 110 can feel skittery and loose at high velocity on firm snow, and the freestyle shape means it's happiest being slashed, not railed. If that's your day, or if you want a more all-mountain quiver-of-one with a directional feel, step down to the Atomic Bent 100, which gives up some float for noticeably better edge hold and a more planted feel on hard snow.
