Lightweight, smooth, easy-going & efficient. The LX82 is incredibly easy to ski yet remains stiff & quick on piste. Kastle is a speciality ski manufacturer from Austria founded in 1924. Although not considered one of the major brands here in the UK if you head across to the Alps you will see a large number of these, & they are increasingly becoming popular by those that have found out Kastle’s well-constructed, stable, agile & incredibly versatile range of skis. One of Kastle’s main technological advantages is their patented hollowtech design system. This has been developed over the last 30yrs & means that the tip of each ski has oval-shaped cut-outs, leaving just a layer of opaque fibreglass this reduces the weight of each ski shovel by up to 15 percent. The decrease in mass helps the ski minimize vibrations & hold an edge more precisely. This coupled with using only the latest & best materials to construct their cores & their timeless clean graphics means that Kastle’s dedication to producing some of the world’s best skis will carry on for another season. The LX range from Kastle utilizes a lighter weight wood core & so is idea for women or slightly lighter or less aggressive male skiers, who want all the benefits that you would get from the Kastle MX range, but without the weight. These skis have been popular for a number of seasons now & have won many awards, mainly thanks to the easy handling & sporty nature of this all mountain ski. Ski Features Hollowtech: This is Kastle’s proprietary Hollowtech technology ensures a smooth ride & consistent edge tracking. Hollowtech is the evolution of a 30-year-old Kastle innovation. The tip of each ski has oval-shaped cut-outs, leaving just a layer of opaque fibreglass. Hollowtech reduces the weight of each ski shovel by up to 15 percent. The decrease in mass helps the ski minimize vibrations & hold an edge more precisely. The 2014/15 Kastle ski line feature more Hollowtech than ever: The investment into new heaving stamping machinery allows a 10% larger & lighter Hollowtech for the MX88 & MX83. Bigger volume Hollowtech create even greater weight savings on the new TX97 & TX107 touring skins. LX: The LX range offers a lightweight feel with uncompromising performance. These skis feel agile, confidence inspiring & are incredibly easy to ski on. Fast Grip shovel & tail: This means that the widest point at the tip & tail of the ski is just further forward than the contact point. This allows easy turn initiation, but as soon as you put them on edge then will take to the turn & initiate the carve. Waist 82 mm: Outstanding handling characteristics especially in variable, steep slope conditions as well as in powder. Ski geometry: The single radius masters varying conditions & difficult terrains. The harmonious sidecut enables a smooth & exceptional ride. Wood core: Silver fir (~0.55 kg/dm³) has been used for the wood core, providing the ski with a very low weight. In order to combine a comfortable longitudinal flex design with high torsional rigidity, the traditional sandwich core concept has been reinforced with a structural element. This wood core, in combination with titanal sheeting, allows perfect harmonization of vibrations & flexing characteristics. the supporting cap from various fibreglass sheets acts like a torsional box, equipping the ski with high torsional rigidity
Features: By using a 0.5 mm titanal base & top sheet high stability is achieved for on-piste performance. In combination with the all othe
