Kästle MX84 review 2020
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
While the MX84 from Kästle brilliantly won a "Best Ski" medal last year in this category, the behaviour of the model reviewed this year appeared a step backwards. The reviewers found, in particular, that the ski was less precise, "stable and safe" than last year.
This difference is difficult to explain because the model does not seem to have changed. Maybe a problem with the preparation of the ski given to be reviewed?
Anyway, the MX84 is undeniably an excellent ski and we advise our users to base themselves on last year's review.
Review: Pros
- General behaviour
- Width giving it a plus in soft or varied snow
- Versatility
- Pleasant at intermediate speeds
Review: Cons
- Flexible ski, especially in the nose
- Lack of liveliness
- Unclear handling
