Kastle MX88 Skis 2016

The recipe for a powerful all-mountain mid-fat doesn't seem that complicated on paper. Start with a solid wood core, add a couple layers of Titanal and vertical sidewalls, and zero in on the 85-90 mm waist width. Everyone is doing it, yet somehow Kästle does it best with the Kästle MX88 Skis. Maybe the Hollowtech tip helps quell the vibrations at speed, maybe the finely tuned elliptical radius initiates turns smoother and holds a better edge than the competition, but the sum of this ski adds up to the top step of the podium in the highly competitive 88 mm waist class.
