hellbent is much softer. comi is a better charging ski. the comi has the option of a split tail, which for a dedicated hauling-ass pow ski is great. they are both good skis, but pretty different. basically, bents are soft and jibby, good for messing around and tree shots etc. comi's are for straightlining shoots, destroying crud, and plowing through powder at terminal velocity. it all depends on what you wanna use them for

i've been using my comi's for AT and its been a lot of fun. I've only had ice to ski on but they like to go really fast and they're really stable.

^the pirate speaks words of truth. If you want a SUPER stiff ski for really hauling ass try the moment garbones. donner parties look sick as well.
