MX88
The MX 88 is an all-mountain ski from Kästle.
Kastle returns this winter with its famous all-mountain skis for our greatest pleasure, keeping the characteristics that have made the brand successful: the snow feel and power. Whatever the type of terrain and snow, the MX 88 has proved itself to be a model of efficiency, with a character all its own.
Precise and very stable, the MX 88 is also a safe ski at high speeds: you have two rails under your feet, and nothing can disturb them, not even difficult snow. However, it remains very agile in small turns, despite its tendency to require speed.
The sandwich construction - straight edges, inspired by racing techniques, integrates a wooden core of two species (poplar / beech) combined with four plates of reinforcement, two in titanium and two others in fibreglass. This gives the ski all of its power, character and incredible gliding feeling. On the MX 88the Austrian brand is also offering a new version of its iconic tip, which has been lightened but provides better shock absorption thanks to the Hollowtech 3.0 Carbonthe result is a comfortable, unflappable ski!
The MX 88 is a benchmark all-mountain ski for experienced skiers looking for a versatile, responsive all-mountain model with excellent performance. A real success!

Core structure:
- Woodcore: Each Kästle ski is made with the finest wood core, manufactured with precision to one tenth of a millimetre. This allows the brand to control the weight, responsiveness and cushioning characteristics of the ski, resulting in a high-quality, durable product. The wood type, or combination of different woods, is individually catered to each model line, based on the ski‘s intended use.
Technologies:
Hollowtech 3.0 Carbon: The brand's patented key technology is unique to ski manufacturing. Removing unneeded layers at the front of the ski makes it more stable, edge-grip is more powerful and the overall weight is reduced. The size of each Hollowtech is adapted to individual model lines. The new version 3.0 offers an even lighter tip with carbon and less material for an even better effect.
- Elliptical Radius: The shape of the Elliptical Radius determines how quickly and aggressively the ski turns.
- Early Rise: Rise technology allows for tip optimisation for better float control depending on the terrain. The Early rise spatula improves buoyancy and allows easy handling for piste and all-mountain conditions.
- Fast Grip Shovel: Short tip in which the contact point is located far forward. This ensures a faster response at the beginning of the turn.
- Fast Grip Tail: Tail with a contact point near the end of the ski. This results in a more aggressive and precise performance at the end of the turn.
Modèle relativement exclusif et ultra puissant, le MX 88 est un ski incroyable par son niveau de performance. Cette version lui donne une meilleure skiabilité que les précédentes mais Kästle conserve bien sur l'esprit du ski avec notamment son très bon toucher de neige. Le MX 88 est un ski qui est destiné aux très bons skieurs, afin de réveiller au mieux toute la vie de ce modèle d'exception.
