New Atomic Bent Chetler 85; Size: 150

The Bent 85 is a versatile all-mountain, park ski. Designed for an agile ride with a narrow waist width for snappy edge-to-edge performance in the pipe, terrain park, or on piste. The 2024 Atomic Bent 85 is a versatile all-mountain, park-slaying ski designed by Chris Benchetler and the Atomic Freeski team to perform anywhere you want to take it. Whether you’re boosting airs in the pipe or busting through afternoon chop, the 85mm waist and All Mountain Rocker keeps everything under control. A compound wood core and Dura Cap Sidewall construction provide a smooth, agile ride with snappy edge-to-edge performance. With topsheet and base art by Chris Benchetler, the Bent 85 will inspire you to ski the mountain as only you can. From freeride to freestyle, the Bent Family delivers the broadest bandwidth of performance characteristics for any terrain. Designed by Chris Benchetler, developed and loved by the Atomic Freeski Team, every Bent is super playful in big mountain powder and fearlessly progressive in the park. HRZN Tech Tip & Tail delivers 10% more surface area for awesome flotation in deep snow without adding any width or weight to the ski. This feature also creates a more relaxed tip and tail for more playful, progressive performance in freestyle terrain. Leaving true ingenuity to the skier, abstract base and top sheet graphics reinterpret Benchetler’s hand-drawn artwork to encompass a passion for self-expression and creating art through skiing.

Atomic Bent Chetler Skis are lightweight and designed for deep powder, featuring HRZN Tech and ABS sidewall construction that increases surface area in the tips and tails by 10% while minimizing tip deflection. With a light woodcore and carbon backbone, these skis maintain stability and are ultra-lightweight. Their steel edges are five times more wear-resistant than standard steel, ensuring strength and grip. Popular among adult freeriders, they are now available in various sizes for all ages.

There’s rarely a ski that can do it all. Do you want a ski that’s lightweight, flexible, buttery, and capable in the park? Do you also want a ski that can carve, float through powder, and maintain stability at high speeds? If the answer is yes to all of the above, then Atomic’s Bent Chetler makes a great choice. With three models, one in 100mm, 110mm, and 120mm, all of Chetler’s feature twin tips and a powder focused build. While the 120mm model is probably best used solely as a powder ski, the 100mm and 110mm work great as an all-mountain setup and are surprisingly responsive on the hard pack and ice.
