The Bent 100 is the most versatile ski in the Bent collection, designed as a daily driver for skiers who want a playful, all-mountain platform with freestyle DNA. It bridges soft snow performance and hard snow capability in a way that makes it an easy choice for mixed conditions.

Why we like it:

It feels light on its feet and quick edge to edge, yet it has enough backbone to stay composed when conditions get dicey. It's a ski that encourages playful skiers, offering quick direction changes and allowing for creative lines across the whole mountain.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert skiers who want a single ski for everything from groomers to soft snow and park laps. It especially suits those who ski with a centered stance and like a bit of looseness in their ride.

Highlights:

A poplar wood core keeps weight low and response lively, giving the ski energy without feeling harsh. Tip and tail rocker combined with camber underfoot delivers a blend of float, easy turn initiation, and reliable edge grip on firm snow. A relatively centered mount point enhances balance in the air and switch capability while still allowing directional control.

Things to consider:

The lighter, more playful build means it's not the most damp option for high-speed, refrozen conditions. Skiers who prioritize carving precision and maximum edge hold on icy trails will prefer a more metal-driven, directional construction.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The Bent 100 skis slightly shorter than its stated length thanks to its rocker profile and tapered tips. Many skiers choose their normal length for a balanced feel. Freeride skiers who value maneuverability can size down, while those skiing fast in open terrain may appreciate a bit more length.
