Anyone using demo bindings on their 120? I have a new pair and was thinking about putting Griffon or Attack demos on them. Mostly because I am unsure on where I want to mount the bindings and figured I can play around with mount points
Other the weight any down side to putting a demo on this ski?

Thanks
The difference you felt. Was that from moving them forward/back or from the height of the binding?

Just scored a set of BENT CHET 120's with frame bindings for a screaming deal. They'll provide plenty of overlap in my quiver, but I'm stoked to see what they're about. Reading the stoke in this thread convinced me to pull the trigger.

Bent Chet 120
Wanted always to try BC120 as a powder ski. Got recently the new 22/23 graphic model in 192 and mounted my Pivots at -3. Took them yesterday out on a perfect blower day.
This ski is tons of fun in the right conditions. It floats, it drifts, it carves, it slarves, whatever. It can make small turns at low speed in tight places or you can open up and go completely nuts in steep terrain. It lacks dampness for skiing really fast through chop but it’s still OK if the chop is soft and if you dial back the speed a bit. No problem on groomers on the way back to lifts as well - the BC120 are surprisingly stable riding the edges and aren’t holding back.
Wouldn’t take them out if you expect variable conditions. On powder days, though, they truly shine.Last edited by roQer; 02-08-2022 at 02:37 AM.

Big mountain lines on BC120. Such a great ski for powder days!

For those of you using pivots: 115mm brake or 130?

Anyone also been on the Armada JJ UL? I daily Line SFB 190cm and want something for deeper days. I ski the SFB on the recommended line which is somewhere around -2cm from center. Pretty much can’t decide between the Bent 120 and JJ UL. I unsuccessfully tried to demo both this season so I’ll be buying blind. They seem super similar on paper but the JJ UL seems to get way less press. Generally speaking the Bent seems slightly better regarded and is wider, but the JJ UL might be more similar to the SFB.
Intended use is: 60/40 resort/backcountry, deep days only, ski most often in CO, mounted on the line with Shifts. Being bombproof isn’t my biggest concern because they will likely not get a ton of days. My last powder skis lasted a decade.

Bent 120's arrived from Evo today. Stated weight is 1800g. Actual weight is 1930g. These will be a wide touring ski mounted with ATK FR, so I don't know--they might go back.

Seems like they have gradually made them heavier every year since they came out. 4 years ago they were around 1700g

Bent Chet 120
Thinking possibly a pair of 2022 176cm BC 120s for my wife. Her 2016 Icelantic Maidens have seen tons of days. She’s at -7.5cm on those.
Is consensus still -2cm (eg -5cm) for non-spinny, non-switch, pow skiing? I assume yes. I have yet to ski my 110s and 120s.
Thx
KC

Anyone been on the Bent 90?
Considering for a resort skinning board to replace a Pure Wailer 99 that is absolutely horrible in the firm EC resort world. Why you might ask? Because they're cheap and the topsheet looks cool, sounds like the construction is same as the 100 too so....
