Bent 100 | 2026

Atomic’s top-selling model for years, the Bent 100 received numerous construction updates last season—including a revised build with an ash inlay to replace the metal layer, a boost in tail rocker and the introduction of a bevel in the tip and tail, called HRZN 3D Bent, to boost flotation in fresh snow. The updates significantly improved the ski’s overall performance and were well-received by skiers everywhere. For that reason, Atomic chose to bring the Bent 100 back, unchanged, for 2026.

The Bent 100 tends to ski a little longer than its dimensions suggest, featuring a long effective edge, which helps this ski feel more robust than other dual-rockered skis in this category. This is thanks to the ski’s ample camber section, which positions the ski’s contact point high on the tip and tail of the ski, providing a stable feel. That said, this is still a soft and playful ski.

In technical terrain, the Bent 100 is equally as intuitive, excelling in bumps and trees where rapid decision making and quick changes of direction are paramount. This responsiveness stems from the ski’s lightweight wood construction and increased tail rocker, which provides a quick and snappy edge release, rather than demanding full commitment to every turn. This emphasis on forgiveness does come with compromise in the most demanding conditions. When pushing through heavily chopped, variable snow at speed, the ski lacks confidence if you attempt to drive the tips aggressively, reminding you that its strengths lie in adaptability rather than pure authority.

For skiers who approach the mountain with free flow more than force, this ski delivers exactly what it promises: intuitive handling and surprising versatility. The Bent 100 is a great option for intermediate or advanced freestyle skiers looking for something that’s easy to ski and a blast to take around the resort.
