I own a pair of 188cm and have been more than surprised at how good these skis are on groomed terrain. All that camber underfoot makes for a pretty great carve. I'm a medium fast skier who prefers big GS turns and these skis have never felt unstable. The only shortcoming for me is that their lightness causes the tips to get bounced around quite a bit in variable snow conditions.
This is encouraging to hear. I've bought the Bent 90's. I want to explore a variety of different terrain but mainly ski groomers. Do they chatter at high speeds on packed snow? I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on how unstable they are with everyone saying they don't carve well.
@Kingsturge They carve great of groomed terrain with a cm or 2 of cushion snow, if you get my drift. I've never had any chatter and I prefer medium fast GS turns. They have a lot of camber and a nice flex pattern. The tips get deflected in variable snow and can be less than confidence inspiring on steep terrain when it's chopped up. No ski does it all, right? We adapt on the day, then buy more in the off season!
@@c_kennmusic5737 I appreciate your reply man. I feel like there's a lot of comments on these skis from people who have never actually tried them so it's refreshing to hear from someone who owns a pair.
Haven't skiied freestyle since I was 14 yo back in 88. Looking for a freestyle ski that can handle bumps, learning new school big air tricks for East Coast skiing. Torn between this and the Volkl Revolt 104. I'm 6'2", 190 lbs. My last skiis were 87 Rossignol 4M Equipe. What do you recommend?
Nice Video! I'm just looking for a new ski who is mainly working off piste, which easily take turns in powder, but is still stable when going high speed. I need it as replacement for my Line Sick Day 96mm (which I feel not so playful). Was riding in the past mainly on piste, but since 2 years I mainly go off if there is enough snow. 85kg with a height of 185cm. What ski would you recommend?
Hey, so I can’t decide between the 100 or the 90. I’m not really a park skier I’m more on the slopes and sometimes in the deep snow but I want to try out some new things like tricks and riding more in der deep snow. I’m 5’5 and I would take the 164 ones. Which one should I take ?
What mount mount do you have them at I just got a pair and am thinking of going up 3-5 but not sure. What would u suggest for a skier similar to both of you.
LOVED THE VID! I just have a question though. Are these good for a medium skill level skier? I can ski difficult black diamonds, but I need a ski that is fast edge-to-edge and also freeride-capable. Thanks for the input!
Get the 188cm. They are soft-ish in the tips and tails with a decent amount of rocker. I like the extra stability of the longer length. Kind of an old school feel.
I am rented a pair today, to see if I like them. The ski shop gentleman told me the bent 110 was a better "all mountain" than the 100. I will rent a pair of 110 Friday.
@@ClassicTor It is a great ski for most resorts. It is ok on groomers. I had my mounted -1, for me it is the right mount. When demoing the ski, they are mounted center (Atomic recommends). with demos depending on boot size, you can adjust forward are back.
Hi sorry I know this post is late but anyone still looking to rent or buy. The dude above is not right. I am from Switzerland, 182 and 83kg I rented these skis (they are great btw) in park city. I did two laps on the 180 one on piste and on the sides and one in the trees I went switch and hit some kickers. The 180 because of the massive rocker and light tip skis short the radis is below 20 I reckon. I went back in the shop and went for the 188 and for you size and weight this is the ski you want. The camber underneath is very very solid and you can whip it easy. I would say the video is right this is a great ski and particularly for those on a development curve. Peace
I am 140 lbs , 5 feet 6.6 inches tall. I am Age 59 years old. Would I take the 162cm or 172cm. Want a good play ski to go off piste and for the gunk and steeps.

how tall are you?
@yeetmereet3793 6 feet. I get longer skis because of my 225 weight though, not height. I don't think the ski cares how tall you are.

I would say go for the 100s, I have those, good for everything.

Hi there! I am 193cm of hight, would you guys recommend buying 188cm model, or mabey I should look for something longer?
im 175cm tall i had 170cm skis last season and i had the thought of going with a smaller ski but as i see in the comments 172 should be the best?
What for a camera you using for self filming?
LOVED THE VID! I just have a question though. Are these good for a medium skill level skier? I can ski difficult black diamonds, but I need a ski that is fast edge-to-edge and also freeride-capable. Thanks for the input!
i was trying to use your website to get suggestions on skis but it requires a US phone number, any chance i can get a suggestion if i'm from italy?
Yo what length should i get? 172 or 180? im 5’10 185 and i ski all mountain. from park to trees to groomers
I have these in a 180cm at 5'11''. I'd say go longer because these are so light and have quite a bit of rocker.
I’m at 188 6,2 I would I think 180-185 is fine for you depends on your needs and wants
Get the 188cm. They are soft-ish in the tips and tails with a decent amount of rocker. I like the extra stability of the longer length. Kind of an old school feel.

Any word if there better on groomers and stuff like that
And?

@@Jared_morrow not the best on groomers, not the worst. They do ok. My job slows in the winter, so I go most powder days.
I am 173cm, 175 lbs. would 172cm work or should i size up? Im intermediate and will be doing trees and groomers
Take 172cm
Definitely 172.
Would you recommend these for beginners? I’ve gotten to the point where I can comfortably go down blues
No you need beginner skiis when you can only ski blues
Wait until you can atleast go down all reds and easier black ones before opting for the bent 100's
Hi I am 184cm 78kg should I buy the 180 length or the 188? .Advanced skier I love to ski all terrains groomers and powder
same height, weight and question for me lol
180

Hello i want buy bent 100 but what size iam 1,70 78 kg i take 164?
Definetely 172cm for you 😊
172 or 180 cm, but 180 cm might offer better stability.
I am 140 lbs , 5 feet 6.6 inches tall. I am Age 59 years old. Would I take the 162cm or 172cm. Want a good play ski to go off piste and for the gunk and steeps.
thanks for the information
