Overview

The Atomic Bent 85 is a narrow all-mountain and park ski for skiers who want quick edge changes, durable park hardware and enough rocker for soft-snow laps. Its 85 mm waist is the most piste-friendly of the adult Bent range, while the twin-tip shape keeps the ski useful for jumps, rails and switch skiing. The 2027 listing carries Chris Benchetler topsheet and base artwork and is aimed at creative skiing across the resort.

All Mountain Rocker lifts the tips and tails for easier pivoting, while the compound wood core keeps the ski smooth and agile. Dura Cap Sidewall transfers pressure to the edges and helps the ski hold a line on firmer snow. Thicker Resist Edges add protection for park rails. The narrower platform moves quickly from edge to edge and feels precise on groomers, but it gives up the flotation of the Bent 90 and 110 when snow gets deep.

Choose it for park progression, groomer laps, bumps and skiers who value agility over powder float. It is approachable for intermediates and remains useful to advanced or expert freestyle skiers who prefer a quick, narrow ski. A Bent 90 gives more soft-snow room, while a piste ski offers stronger carving grip and a directional freeride ski is calmer in heavy chop. The Bent 85 is at its best when the day includes firm snow and repeated park laps.
