If you are a beginner or intermediate skier, these skis may pose some challenges in developing fundamental carving technique, so it may be better to opt for a more beginner friendly ski, like the K2 Mindbender 90. One possible remedy for these issues, suggested by Skyler, could be to mount the binding a few centimeters forward from the factory location to help drive the tips down. Camber underfoot is paired with tip and tail rocker, 20 in the tip and 10 in the tail. The shape of the Bent Chetler 100 gets a little more complicated, but it’s still relatively straight-forward. And another benefit It’s only 1700 g in the 180 cm length. A wood core and a good design goes a long way. This results in underperformance when compared to some of their competitors on hardback. The Bent Chetler 100 shows you don’t need a ton of additives or space age materials to make a good ski. However, due to the flex pattern of the skis, they can get a bit chattery once a high speed is reached. This radius, and the ski shape in general, is more suitable for longer drawn out turns, and in turn requires quite a bit of speed to engage the edge. The most versatile member of the Bent Chetler family, the Atomic Bent Chetler 100 is a go-anywhere, do-everything freeride ski.
ATOMIC BENT CHETLER 100 SKIN
While our tester, Skyler, really enjoys his Bent Chetlers, his primary complaint is a result of the 18m turning radius for the 172 length. With a weight of 1700G (at 180) these skis are a perfect option for skiers who occasionally skin the backcountry in search of untracked snow or. When it comes to hardback performance, the Bent Chetler is satisfactory, however it falls short of some competitors like the Icelantic Pioneer 96 that we have previously reviewed.
