BENT 110

The Atomic Bent 110 is a soft-snow freeride ski for powder days, trees, side hits and backcountry freestyle. Its 110 mm waist gives it more flotation than the Bent 100 without moving into the Bent Chetler 120's deep-snow specialist territory. POWDER's exact-year test describes the construction as carried over for 2027, with new Chris Benchetler artwork and a muted topsheet colourway providing the visible change.

The Bent 110 is light, loose and easy to redirect. HRZN Tech at the tip and tail turns up the edges and adds surface area, helping the ski release readily in soft snow. Powder Rocker 25/50/25 combines rocker at both ends with camber underfoot, aiding flotation and pivoting while retaining edge contact for groomer links. POWDER reports a progressive -3 cm mount point that suits a centred freestyle stance. A poplar Light Woodcore keeps it energetic, while the full-length Dura Cap Sidewall adds edge support and durability without making it damp or heavy.

Choose it for slashes, butters, switch landings and quick direction changes rather than high-speed bulldozing. SkiEssentials testers found it playful and forgiving, with useful grip on soft groomers, but noted its soft flex; POWDER likewise found lively short-to-medium-speed handling and less stability in chop than heavier 110 mm skis. Intermediate skiers can grow into it, while advanced and expert freestyle skiers will appreciate its balance. A heavier freeride ski is better for sustained speed or tracked snow, and a narrower ski is more precise on hardpack.
