The 2025 Atomic Bent 85 R with M 10 GW bindings and Dalbello Veloce Max 75 is a versatile ski package designed for intermediate skiers, which excels in not only in the park but all over the mountain as well. With its 85 mm waist and all-mountain rocker profile, this ski adapts seamlessly to various snow conditions and terrains, whether you're aiming for airtime or enjoying groomed trails. We paired the undefined with the Dalbello Veloce Max 76 due to its well-rounded performance and comfort-oriented design features. With a medium to soft flex pattern, approachable feel, and balanced control, these boots are the perfect pairing for this ski.

Why we like it:

This ski is an excellent choice for progressing intermediates who want to explore different mountain aspects, from groomers to park and trees to back bowls. The Bent 85 R offers versatility across these areas without being overly demanding or exhausting.

Who it's for:

Ideal for upper beginner to intermediate skiers who appreciate a playful ski capable of handling all aspects of the resort without restricting them to a single style or application.

Highlights:

The directional twin tip shape of the Bent 85 R highlights its adaptability to various ski styles. Its Light Woodcore combined with Densolite material offers stability and responsiveness, while Dura Cap sidewalls enhance stiffness and edge grip, supporting continued progression for many seasons. The 2025 Dalbello Veloce Max 75 ski boots feature a medium flex that provides a good balance between control and comfort, allowing skiers to handle different types of terrain with ease. The boot includes an easy-entry design for convenience and an adjustable fit system to ensure a personalized and secure fit. Additionally, the cushioned liner enhances warmth and comfort, making it suitable for long days on the slopes.

Things to consider:

The Atomic Bent 85 R is designed to have a softer flex to accommodate progression for beginner and intermediate skiers, therefore advanced and expert skiers will likely find the 85 R lacking in power and will want to look at something more robust.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The skis run true to size, though upper beginners or lower intermediates might want to consider sizing down slightly. The Dalbello Veloce Max 75 is available in a range of sizes designed to accommodate average to slightly wider foot shapes. If you are between sizes, going the size up will provide more comfort while going with the size down will offer more performance due to the tighter fit.
