The new MX98 is a powerhouse of a ski
- Featuring a twin titanal laminate & silver fir core with classic sidewall construction it clings to the piste, & yet in powder the hollowtech nose gives tonnes of float. With the help of the HOLLOWTECH technology the ski‘s running characteristics is enhanced. The cutout section in the shovel leads to a reduced weight of the freely vibrating zone by almost 15 %. The resulting lower inertia moments optimize the retraction behavior of the ski. This means that after an impact the shovel returns much faster to the stable condition, enabling the ski to keep its track much more precisely. A 98mm width increases the surface area of the ski & therefore the float substantially, & yet with the classic sidewall construction & full wood core, this ski retains the Kastle signature of rock-solid edge hold when required in firmer snow. The MX98 strives for more versatile performance &, as such, a mix of ash & silver fir is used to construct the wood core. This combination offers weight savings without compromising stability. With a 0.5 titanal base sheet & a 0.5 mm titanal top sheet, stability is optimized with a minimal weight increase. The HOLLOWTECH at the shovel delivers further weight reduction. A 45°aluminium bevel at the surface of the ski distributes impacts & protects against mechanical wear.

These feature a DIN range of 4-13mm. It also features Tyrolias Freeride Toe, a height adjustable toe to ensure compatibility with modern ski boot designs. What a stunning set of skis! What do I do with my MX88s now?! I though that Kastle would be pushing it with the 98mm width for a ski that is this powerful, but it is simply stunning. It is not for the lazy skier, but if you hark back to the days of hot hatches with zero power steering, where YOU have to put all the effort in & get to feel everything in return as you thunder down all terrains, then get the MX98 as soon as possible to see what I mean!
