ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 are men’s/unisex freeride skis for sporty skiers looking for a wide model primarily focused on powder and off-piste terrain. According to the supplied information, this is an iconic model from the Bent Chetler line, focused on flotation, balance and playfulness in freeride skiing. With a waist measuring exactly 120 mm across all available lengths, they belong to the distinctly wide freeride category, and the product classification clearly positions them primarily for powder.
The construction is based on a Light Woodcore, complemented by HRZN 3D Bent, Directional Shape and Dura Cap Sidewall technologies. The model uses a Powder Rocker 30/40/30 profile, Glossy Topsheet and Standard Edge. The technical specifications list a weight of 1800 g for the 184 cm length, although the source does not specify whether this figure refers to one ski or a pair.
The geometry changes with length, ranging from 142-120-133 mm at 176 cm to 144-120-135 mm at 192 cm, while the waist remains 120 mm across all three lengths. At the same time, the radius increases from 18 m at 176 cm through 19 m at 184 cm to 20 m for the longest 192 cm version. The technical information also lists Carbon Footprint Reduction -13%, but does not provide further details about the methodology, reference product or calculation method behind this figure.
ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 are listed in the product classification with both binding and non-binding configurations, although the technical description provides a manufacturer code only for the Flat version without bindings – AA0030954. The recommended bindings are Strive 13 GW R / Strive 14 GW. The supplied information does not provide their specific product codes, DIN ranges or recommended brake width, so we do not add these details without an additional source.

are looking for an iconic Bent Chetler model according to the supplied product description
Bent Chetler 120 combine a 120 mm waist, Light Woodcore, HRZN 3D Bent and Powder Rocker 30/40/30 with a clearly defined freeride focus. According to the supplied information, this is a wide powder-oriented model built around flotation, balance and a playful character in freeride skiing.
How the skis behave on snow
ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 use a Powder Rocker 30/40/30 profile. This designation is stated directly in both the technology list and the technical description. However, the supplied information does not explain the exact meaning of the individual values or their units, so without an additional source we do not interpret them as a specific percentage-based or length-based distribution of the individual profile sections.
The radius ranges from 18 to 20 m depending on length. The 176 cm version has an 18 m radius, the 184 cm length 19 m and the longest 192 cm version 20 m. As the length increases, the tip and tail widths also change, while the waist remains 120 mm across all versions.
The supplied product information highlights improved flotation, balance and increased playfulness for the Bent Chetler 120 and clearly places the model in the freeride category with a focus on powder. The construction includes HRZN 3D Bent, Directional Shape and Dura Cap Sidewall. However, the supplied information does not explain in detail how the individual technologies specifically affect stiffness, stability, handling or other skiing characteristics, so we do not expand on these claims without an additional verified source.
How to read the specifications
Geometry 142-120-133 to 144-120-135 mm
The geometry of the ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 changes depending on length:
176 cm – 142-120-133 mm
184 cm – 143-120-134 mm
192 cm – 144-120-135 mm
The waist width remains 120 mm across all three available lengths, while the tip and tail widths gradually increase with length. All versions correspond to the product classification of an under-binding width in the 100–135 mm category.
Radius 18–20 m
The radius is listed separately for each length:
176 cm – 18 m
184 cm – 19 m
192 cm – 20 m
The specific radius therefore gradually increases from 18 to 20 m as the ski length increases.
Lengths 176–192 cm
According to the supplied information, the model is available in lengths of 176, 184 and 192 cm.
The specific length should be selected according to the skier’s height, weight, skiing ability, experience, preferred terrain and desired ski characteristics.
Weight 1800 g / 184 cm
The technical description lists a weight of 1800 g for the 184 cm length.
However, the supplied information does not specify whether this figure refers to one ski or a pair. We therefore do not add this information without an additional verified source. Separate weight figures for the 176 and 192 cm lengths are not provided.
Powder Rocker 30/40/30
ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 use a Powder Rocker 30/40/30 profile.
This designation is stated directly in both the technology list and the technical description. However, the source does not explain the values 30/40/30 or their units, so without additional verified information we do not convert them into a specific percentage-based or length-based distribution of the profile.
Carbon Footprint Reduction -13%
The technical information lists Carbon Footprint Reduction -13% among the additional features.
However, the source does not provide the calculation methodology, the reference product or construction against which the stated 13% reduction is compared, or further information about the scope of this figure. We therefore retain the value exactly as stated in the supplied information and do not interpret it further without an additional verified source.
Technologies and construction
Light Woodcore
The ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 are built around a Light Woodcore, a wooden core specified directly in the technical description of the model.
The specific wood species, their arrangement and the exact construction of the core are not provided in the supplied information. We therefore do not add more detailed claims about its material composition or its specific influence on weight, flex or skiing characteristics without an additional source.
HRZN 3D Bent
ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 use HRZN 3D Bent technology.
This designation appears consistently in both the technology list and the technical construction description. The product text also highlights improved flotation, balance and increased playfulness for the model, but does not provide a detailed technical description of the HRZN 3D Bent construction or precisely define its individual contribution to these characteristics. We therefore do not expand on the specific function of this technology without an additional source.
Directional Shape
The construction of the ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 includes Directional Shape.
This technology is explicitly listed among the model’s construction features. However, the supplied information does not contain further specifications regarding its exact implementation or geometric parameters, so we do not add these without an additional source.
Dura Cap Sidewall
ATOMIC Bent Chetler 120 use the Dura Cap Sidewall construction element.
This designation appears in both the technology list and the technical construction description. However, the exact material composition and construction of the sidewalls are not described in greater detail in the supplied information, so we do not add properties beyond the stated technology name.
Standard Edge
The designation Standard Edge appears in both the technology list and the edge tuning specifications.
The supplied information does not provide further details regarding the material, dimensions or construction of the edges. We therefore do not add specific claims about their thickness, durability or other properties beyond the stated technology name without an additional verified source.
Glossy Topsheet
According to the technical description, the model features a Glossy Topsheet.
This is the designation for the upper surface finish listed directly among the construction elements. Further material or functional characteristics of this layer are not specified in the supplied information.
Edge tuning
The technical description provides the following values:
Side Edge Angle: 87°
Base Edge Angle: 1.0°
Standard Edge
We retain these values exactly as stated in the supplied technical information. No further specifications regarding edge tuning, base structure or edge construction are provided.
Strive 13 GW R / Strive 14 GW
The technical information lists Strive 13 GW R / Strive 14 GW as the recommended bindings.
The product classification indicates versions with and without bindings, but the technical description provides a specific code only for the Flat version without bindings – AA0030954. Product codes for versions with bindings, specific DIN ranges and the recommended brake width are not provided in the supplied information, so we do not add them without an additional source. The correct choice and adjustment of the binding must always correspond to the parameters of the individual skier and the selected ski configuration.
