Why we like it:

The Bent Jr stands out in the junior all-mountain category for its exceptional maneuverability, stability, and intuitiveness, making it a top choice for young skiers.

Who it's for:

Ideal for progressing junior skiers who are mastering skiing fundamentals across the mountain. These skis will help them build skills and foster a love for the sport.

Highlights:

The directional shape of the Bent Jr promotes proper skiing technique and fundamental skills. Atomic’s Densolite core enhances stability while keeping the skis lightweight for optimal agility and maneuverability. DuraCap sidewalls provide added sturdiness, helping young skiers learn to manage the ski’s flex pattern, and the L6 GW binding provides a reliable and safe release when things go awry. The 2025 Nordica Speed Machine Jr 4 Boy's ski boots feature a medium flex that delivers a blend of control and comfort, making it suitable for junior skiers navigating various terrains. The boot’s easy-entry design ensures that kids can put on and take off the boots with ease, while the adjustable fit system allows for a personalized and secure fit. The cushioned liner adds warmth and all-day comfort, ensuring that young skiers stay comfortable throughout their time on the mountain.

Things to consider:

Junior skiers interested in racing may need to look at other options, as the Bent Jr is more suited to all-mountain freeride skiing.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The skis run true to size. Absolute beginners might consider sizing down slightly but should account for growth spurts. The Nordica Speed Machine Jr 4 is available in sizes designed to fit average to slightly wider junior foot shapes. If you find yourself between sizes, going to the larger size will provide more of a comfort oriented fit while going smaller will offer a more performance oriented fit.
