Constantly driving freeride skiing forward, the iconic Atomic Bent Chetler 120 continues to evolve with a new lower-impact design, core and profile that improves float, enhances balance, and boosts playfulness. Based on one of the most revered freeride skis on the mountain, the new Bent Chetler 120 employs next-generation HRZN 3D with a full wrap tip/tail profile for even more playful skiing and better float in the deepest snow. Chris Benchetler’s signature ski and the biggest brother in the Bent family, the reimagined Bent Chetler 120 receives a tip-to-tail upgrade with a new poplar Light Woodcore and lower-impact design that uses more wood and less metal, fiberglass and resin to decrease the environmental impact of the ski’s production. A wildly imaginative top sheet designed by Chris himself uses more recycled material to further reduce the overall carbon footprint. In total, material-related CO2 equivalent emissions were cut by 13% (compared with the Bent Chetler 120, 2022). What’s Chris’ favorite update? He’s super stoked on the new ash wood binding reinforcement band that adds 10% more strength!
