That 175 cm length boasts a 1600 g per ski weight. Last thing we’ll say about these skis in regards to shape and construction is they’re impressively lightweight. Even the 175 cm length has a 19 m turn radius. We also get a slightly straighter cut in these skis than most competitors’ twin tips The 184 cm length that Bob and I have been testing features a 21 m turn radius. The tip is 10 mm wider than the tail of the ski, which comes in at a relatively narrow 109 mm. Whatever it is, there’s more tip rocker than tail rocker and it’s noticeable, unlike the Bent 110, where the tip and tail rocker is just about the same. Without getting out a micrometer, I would say if anything it’s more like 25% tip rocker and 5% tail rocker. We get what Atomic refers to as 20% tip rocker and 10% tail rocker. In fact, if you take out the HRZN Tech, this ski is such a good example of how simplicity often results in a really good product. This surfboard-inspired shaping concept is designed to boost float while also making the ski less catchy, easier to pivot and butter, and also more forgiving. Sweet! Then we get Atomic’s HRZN Tech tips and tails. You get the benefits of vertical sidewalls underfoot with the increased durability of cap construction throughout the whole ski. Partial vertical sidewalls underfoot are met with cap construction throughout the whole ski. We get a relatively simple poplar wood core pressed with Atomic’s Dura Cap construction method. It basically shares all the same ingredients with the 100. Without a doubt, this Bent 90 packs a lot of value, and even before we bet into the performance of it, we’re confident in saying you’re going to see a lot of these on the slopes next season.īefore we get into the review, let’s summarize the shape and build of this ski. Part of that is certainly the success of the Bent Chetler 100 over the past few years, although we can’t deny the fact that a $499 price point is enticing to a lot of skiers. Today we’re excited to share our experience and thoughts on the new Bent 90! We’ve probably had more questions about and interest in the 90 than any other of the new skis.

More recently, we put out our full review of the new Bent 110, a super unique powder ski that takes heavy influence from the freestyle side of the sport. Over a month ago now, we released our video and article summarizing the new 2023 Atomic Bent collection and gave our first thoughts on those skis.
