This vid shows me skiing and reviewing the bent chetler 120´s. Don't get me wrong I really like the skis. I do recommend buying some other skis in addition to them which are stiffer for days when the snow is sketchier. The Title and thumbnail is slightly misleading but i had to do as it was more catchy.

This made my day! You guys look like you are having a blast and not sitting around a dark basement playing Nintendo all winter. Get out there! Yeah any ski over 210 is going to get ugly on frozen snow...fix more phones : )
I agree, way better than playing video games
I have a pair of these ski and I love them. I run them as my everydayers. I’m coming off of atomic Blogs and Automatic. These skis are so sick. I would recommend anyone to get these ski.
I agree theyre really fun and playful to ski!
Do they work for park too?
@@lenzklingler2025 yepp they do
@@lenzklingler2025 I wouldn`t...
They’re great skis
I love these planks! I also have the ‘22’s. They were built for POW and that is where they shine. I would say buy them for POW and you will have blast. I have a large quiver and am very lucky but still love these BENTS. 🤘
Honestly, for how playful and wide they are, I feel like they're honestly really damp. They're not a metal ski so of course it's not going to crush through crud, but they have mad camber and are pretty stable i feel. As an all mountain ski though, you're better off with the 100's
They do have carbon in them
As an all mountain ski the 90 or 100 is fine if you dont like speed and like to land switch. If you like speed and never land switch there are vastly superior choices.
Good thing there are quiver killers. I have the 2020 BC 120s and yes you need a spring ski. I use an old pair of Blizzard Rustler 9s for hard pack touring adventures. I'm lucky enough to get to Rogers Pass enough that the Bents are a must have ski. Nice review. Good to see you mount your ATKs at home.
Thanks. Already got my 84,97 n planning to get 110 or 120. You are a skillful man
Thanks alot. I really like the bent chetlers for skiing powder.
Great honest user review. Stay off of bad influences and drugs, you will do great things.
Thank you:)
Lol recommending to not buy something, and the first thing he says is "Uhh i bought these cause they look cool". Sure dude, i trust you 😂
Nice video man keep it up🔥
I´ll try!
I loved these skis, but the soft wood cores don't withstand many days of hard skiing. I've had two pair with bindings that ripped out in the middle of the 2nd season. Great ski, but don't expect them to last.
Ok, luckily mine haven't broken yet.
I see this exact word for word comment on so many sites that I'm getting a little suspicious
i have 2022 BC 120's 192 length and agree-- Only buy as a dedicated powder ski. It'sawesome for powder, trees and moguls in powder....suck for most everything else. Terrible on groomers, hard pack, firm moguls. Ok on thick chop. They were perfect on my Alaska Heli trip, sucked at Jackson Hole when on piste. I use Stockli SL 66mm underfoot for carvers, but still need an in between ski.when there is not fresh powder. but not a pure carving day either.
I know everyone is putting there take on them so I figured I would chime in; Fyi my experience is I have been skiing for about 14 yrs and have. skied all around the world. These skis are by far an amazing pair of skis without a doubt. Everything you hear about them in regards to skiing in powder is true. They are playful fun an agile, in the powder. Now the problem comes to everything not in the powder. On groomers and icey slopes these skis are not stable. When you ski fast down them in my own experience I have the feeling of barely being in control but still being in control do to the unstableness of them. Now don't get me wrong I love them for this sketchiness, but now looking back upon the purchase I would have gone with a pairs of bent cheties 110s or 100s. These skis are great but they are not a one ski does all kind of ski.
I agree!
Yep I could carve some super G turns with the 100, but the snow pristine and I had the piste all to myself, and even then, felt super sketchy 😂
Well you are perfectly right for everything apart from the rather polarizing conclusion you made. These are powder skis, it is perfectly understandable that they are chattery on hardpack. If they need to be smooth, they should be even harder to flex and would weight a ton. Which will ruin the powder capabilities. Part of the problem could be that you are lighter skier, like me, and this ski length is overkill. I am skiing BC100 5cm longer than me and they are fine but 100 is a lighter and easier to flex ski. No offence man, you are correct just not very honest title.
vid is worthy of a lot more views than this. I really enjoy watching your vids because theyre coming from someone like me.
Thanks, you ski?
Kjøp!
I see. Its all about using the right tool for the job. Then they are not really good for ramp stunts? Marvellous footage.
They are actually meant for ramp stunts
@@elecreations I see. More wide = more stable
Love the vid man! Keep up the work😁
Thanks! Will do!
I ski this as my daily driver in Vermont...not sure what you're on about. Amazing ice/hardpack ski.
watch him ski in the video. Not in the first person footage. He is so far back in the backseat it's a dead giveaway off a really low skill level. This is not the channel for a competent review of anything. Sorry...
The reason not to buy the BC120's is if you don't already have another pair of skis? Lol... Anyone looking for a pair of 120mm wide skis is not buying their first or only pair of skis. If you don't have more than 1 pair of skis they should probably be 95-105mm wide
True
The Bent 90 is pretty versatile.
I personally love atomic skis, I don’t care what model they are so smooth, they feel a little heavy tho, but my all time favorite are a nice pair of heads anyway great vid
Cool review. I own the Bent 100s and would like the 120s, but where I ski is a no pow zone! I got out west once a year. Should I yolo a pair??😅
The skis are super cool, but if there is no powder where you live, I think the bent 100s would ski way better.
I bought exact same pair but 184 in December 2021, and spent the entire season skiing on them as a daily driver, only in february i bought with the discount Bent chetler 100.
Bent chetler 120s are honestly very stiff, really hard to bend.. Their stiffness gives a lot of fatigue at the end of the day.
I have a lot to compare in their category, I've skied ("not just one day")K2 hellbent, k2 pettitor, K2 obsethed, Armada ARV 116, K2 shreditor.
All of them a way softer skis in terms of flex.
With that being sad, i strongly disagree, bentchetler 120s they perform equally well on powder, and on hard snow, they carve better than any powder ski i've skied on.
The only drawback i found, as that they give more fatigue to body, having skiing on them the entire day, again compared to other powder skis, i've tried.
How long are you? I want to buy the 120s to but i don’t know if i have to pick the 184 or 192 with my 183cm body length. What do you recommend?
@@dubvandijk839 I'am 182cm.
I ride 184 size.
I do 360, 180 and nose tail presses, i only ride at ski resorts, and my style of skiing is mostly for fun.
I would say 184 works the best for people up to 185cm tall, for across the ski resort style of skiing.
If you really like to go touring, freeriding in remote places, or helicopter skiing, i would go without any question > to 192cm size of bentchetlers.
just fell on my ski while trying to land a 180 and cut my leg :( cant ski for the whole season...
:( sad to hear. Hope you get better soon
@@elecreations thx alot, it was nice to see a pop up from your channel!
Well done 👍🏽
Thanks!
I respect your opinion, but I myself have the völkl 121 (even wider and similar shaped and similar behaviour) and my dad has the chetler 120s. And ofc they are not the best skis for packed snow, but in my opinion, you just habe to learn skiing them on more difficult snowtypes aswell. Also they are not designed for packed snow or wind pressed snow, but a good skier can ski most skis on almost all kinds of snow types…
True, I guess overtime I will become more comfortable on them. I was thinking about buying the volkl 121´s but they were much more expensive.
Guess what, most people buy a dedicated powder ski after they already have a solid all mountain / frontside ski...
What is your favorite mountain to ski
In tromsø, I would say hemmelighetens skogen.
Good review!
Thanks!
Hey I have a question, what size ski did you ride in this video? because I wanted to know your height to know if im to short to ride the 174's. (Im 5,3 btw)
Im 170cm, , so about 5,5 in feet and they work well for me. Also since, the skis are twintip they´re not actually 174 cm tall but a bit shorter.
@@elecreations Thank you this helped a lot
you speak english with a flawless american accent
The bent chetler 120 is the best ski I’ve ever owned for all around fun factor. They dance through the powder and make you feel like a rockstar. I use them on the good snow days they go everywhere with ease even moguls once you learn how to ski them. When the conditions aren’t so good I use a C6 “The Judge” 106 mm width underfoot. A narrower ski does seem better when the snow is either very wet or very icy. When the snow is average or better I always use the Bent Chetlers
I agree. I Went skiing with the bent chetlers in decent conditions today and it was a blast.
Did you mount in the center?
@@desmc690 I mounted them to recomended.
@@elecreations do you know if thats dead center? I heard like - 3cm from dead center is recommended? Kan ta det på norsk også om det er lettere 😂❤️
@@desmc690 yes it feels perfect, I’m learning to ski switch transitioning between forward and backwards feels very natural. I now don’t understand why anyone would want their bindings mounted further back
WE NEE MORE VIDS!!!!
Yeah sorry for the lack of uploads. We´ll start posting more
@@elecreations great cant wait for more
Are you from norway
No, but we live in norway.
bentchetlers are the new soul 7 dad ski
Hey which bindings are you running?
I´m using the ATK R12 2.0´s
@@elecreations Gotcha! Nice and light weight! Thank you
are you norwegian??
No, I'm from Finland.
@@elecreations Nice, how you like Norway tho. I thought you were Norwegian because you were using NOK on the atomic website.
@@Krilid10 yeah, i live in norway.
120's have no groomer performance at all when they're this soft ... POW it is!!
Where can you buy them? i have been searching everywhere!
They are and old model so you cant buy them anymore. Try buying them used :)
Love the footage! What camera are you using for the pov?
Thanks! Were using the gopro max
are those JR's?
No, I think they are like 176cm tall.
Sick!
Yea the 120s are too wide… Thats why i went with the 100s.
So In other words, they work great for what they’re meant to do and not so good for what they’re not. Does that really justify telling people not to buy them? Video should be titled “why I shouldn’t have bought the bentchetler 120s”
Yeah. I totally agree, but it was good clickbait.
@@elecreations this is true
nice, where do you ski?
Tromsø, Norway
What skins do you use with the ski's?
The bent chetler 120´s which are 174cm tall
@@elecreations Yes I get that. But what is the brand name of the skin and the width. Or is it an Atomic multifit skin?
www.sport-bittl.com/en/kohla-peak-multifit-120mm-custom-fit-skins-tbar-85-set-wax-and-skin-bag-incl-::215689.html Hers a link to the skins I bought. I got the ones which were 170cm long. If your´e outside of the EU you will have to pay 25% extra in taxes which I did. The skins are good but only cover the width of the ski in the middle, so you might want to look into getting even wider skins. However they have worked for me.
@@elecreations Thanks! Luckely I live in Austria so the shipping shouldn't be a problem.
Where have you bought the skis?
I bought the skis from Lillehammer sport.
@@elecreations are you from lily hammer do you know my friend giovanni
@@yellowsupercar-bm4cl No, I am not from lillehammer unfortunately.
Obviously 120 ain’t no groomer phenomenon
Yeah I agree:)
Where do you live? That resort looks nice
this is not at a ski resort:). In the vid we were skiing on mountains nearby Tromsø, Norway.
Your camera setup is awesome. What camera do you use?
Thanks, I use the gopro max and a cheap huawei phone.
THERE'S A REASON THEY ARE POWDER SKIS!!!
Yes, I realized.
watch him ski in the video. Not in the first person footage. He is so far back in the backseat it's a dead giveaway off a really low skill level. This is not the channel for a competent review of anything. Sorry...
that sounds like a skill issue to me
No its not
Looks an awful lot like Norway but your english is perfect?
Yeah we live in Tromsø, Norway. We lived in the US for a couple years which is why we can speak english.
Not shit there 120 underfoot
Bruh shut up smartass he gave a good deep in thought review
This is not a ski for touring..
I mean it works well for me when the conditions are right-
@@elecreations you are young so yo have a lot of breath that's why! They are still on the heavy side though.
Must be shitty in the tracks though especially when they are frozen.
If you want a ski that does everything well i recommend you try the voelkl mantra vwerks or the dps wailer 99 tour... they are both outstanding, especially the volkl.
a 1800g 120mm ski is absolutely suitable for touring.. @@Legrascestlavie88
