"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Bent 85 is my go-to ski for ripping around the mountain and sending laps in the park. The 85mm waist makes it quick edge-to-edge, and the All Mountain Rocker keeps it playful and responsive. It feels stable carving groomers but loose enough to butter and press with ease. The reinforced Resist Edge holds up to rail sessions, and the lightweight wood core gives it just the right amount of pop. Whether I’m hitting jumps, jibbing natural features, or slashing through chop, this ski feels smooth and fun.""Who It’s ForIntermediate to Advanced Freestyle-All-Mountain Skiers:The Bent 85 is built for skiers who want one ski for carving, jibbing, and creative riding. It’s perfect for riders progressing in the park who also want quick edge-to-edge response and versatility to explore the rest of the mountain. What It’s ForAll-Mountain Performance with Freestyle Progression:At 85mm underfoot, the Bent 85 excels in park features, side hits, and groomer laps. The rocker/camber profile offers stability for carving while staying playful for butters, presses, and switch skiing. It’s a ski for creative skiers who mix terrain park fun with all-mountain exploration. Why We Like ItPlayful, Durable, and Progression-Friendly:We like the Bent 85 because it’s energetic and forgiving, but tough enough for hard use. The compound wood core provides snap and smooth flex, while Dura Cap Sidewalls and reinforced Resist Edges handle the abuse of rails and boxes. Add Chris Benchetler’s signature topsheet art, and it’s as inspiring to look at as it is to ski."
