The 2024 Atomic Bent 90 are as comfortable ripping all mountain as they are sending in the park. The dimensions work perfectly for this mix of terrain, narrow enough to remain quick and nimble and with the width to float when it gets soft. HRZN Tech at the tip and tail improves the handling whatever the snow with smooth turns on hard or fresh conditions and easy control on jumps, rails and the pipe. Dura Cap and Resist Edges improve the durability and the Light Woodcore keeps the weight down.
Terrain Type & Ability Level
Terrain Type
It’s happy skiing anywhere on the mountain, from the park to the piste or bumps, trees, and fresh snow. There are not many skis that transition so well from jumps, rails, and pipes to skiing all terrain. This is one for freestylers who want versatility, if you’re more all mountain to start then go with the big brother Bent 100.
Skier Type
Freestylers who want to mix skiing everywhere on the mountain with time in the park, or, all mountain skiers who want to ski park sometime? Or just skiers who want a do-it-all ski. It’s light and predictable when skiing on piste or in fresh snow and has the pop and stability to make it shine in the park. This is the model that the Atomic freestyle team choose as their everyday ride.
Overview
Shape
A directional shape with only a small tail rocker means predictable handling and more of the ski's edge in contact with the snow, resulting in better grip and stability. 90mm in the waist is the perfect mix for nimbleness and quick response, with enough width for balance and some float when conditions offer fresh snow. The 19m radius (175cm) is long enough to boost the stability, whether on landings or tracking through choppy snow. The HRZN Tech tip and tail further improve the overall handling with a horizontal rocker that increases surface area.
Rocker
All Mountain Rocker uses a 20/70/10 split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This mix offers total versatility for a variety of conditions and terrain. Controlled steering in soft and choppy snow, grip on firmer conditions and a mix of smooth tail release and hold for clean turn exits.
Core
Atomic's Light Woodcore uses poplar to optimise the skis weight without sacrificing any shock absorption or stability.
Construction
Dura Cap Sidewall uses a sidewall from base to top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip. The rounded shape of the Dura Cap is a fantastic durability feature as it picks up fewer dents and dings.
Key Features
HRZN Tech Tip & Tail
HRZN Tech blends an ABS sidewall construction with an across-the-ski (horizontal) rocker. This adds 10% more surface area in the tip and tail without increasing swing weight. The result is better tracking through chop and crud and less tip deflection, meaning awesome floatation in deep snow. This feature also creates a more relaxed tip and tail for more playful, progressive performance in freestyle terrain.
Resist Edge
For more durability all along the rails.
EB tester’s comments: Joe (Covent Garden) Perfect for an all-mountain skier who also enjoys a freestyle shaped ski. Very stable through long turns, flexible but not too buttery and would be amazing in softer snow conditions!
