The RX 12 GS Raceplate is a model of 100% piste skis from the brand Kästleinspired by giant slalom skis.
This model is a little marvel of a giant slope ski that lets you leap from edge to edge with all the dynamism you'd expect from a top-of-the-range ski. With a long turn radius that will delight lovers of big turns on piste, this GS version stands out thanks to turn stability and punch. The grip is excellent, the ski responds instantly and the exit from tturns is very dynamic thanks to a very present tail.
Its race-inspired sandwich construction includes a very powerful core made from two types of wood (poplar and beech) combined with Four reinforcement layers: Two in titanium and Two other in fibreglass for exceptional performance. This gives the ski all of its power, character and incredible gliding feeling.
The Austrian brand also offers what is now its trademark: a patented spatula Hollowtech Race patented spatula that is lightened in unnecessary places, but reinforced in strategic places, to enhance both manoeuvrability and stability. Even the highest speeds will not make the tip shake and comfort will remain intact no matter what the pace.
As usual, Kästle offers a top-of-the-range ski with impeccable finishes, particularly the UHM graphite sintered base which, as well as being extremely durable, is also incredibly efficient in terms of glide.
Skis are delivered assembled with bindings K14 FF ST 2023. They provide optimum power transmission. They are equipped with technology Freeflex ST to reduce the pressure on the skis to a minimum without compromising safety.

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 Race: 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 Race version ensures even smoother operation, even at the top speeds of World Cup.
Elliptical Radius: The shape of the Elliptical Radius determines how quickly and aggressively the ski turns.
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.
