Kästle MX67 review 2020
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The "Best Ski" last year, the MX67 at Kästle keeps all its qualities.
What meets the eye (or the foot?) when testing the MX67 is the compromise between accessibility and agility.
The ski engages curves intuitively, without excessive engagement. A small lean on the edge and hop, the nose takes, the ski deforms and we are already comfortably installed in a curve, naturally rather tight. An honest rebound allows us to jump very quickly into another turn. The curves follow each other at a high rate with great fluidity.
The ski is easy in all circumstances and tolerant; it forgives most positioning mistakes. You can't make it any easier. It's great in tight little sculls or small carving turns on the piste.
It is, however, somewhat difficult in very dynamic and high-speed handling. It seemed a little less efficient than the model reviewed last year, while the model does not seem to have evolved.
The MX67 from Kästle is an excellent ski that we recommend to good to excellent skiers who want a very agile, comfortable and accessible ski.

Manufacturer's remarks
With an innovative new edge line, HOLLOWTECH 2.0 technology and a race-inspired sandwich construction, the MX67 is the most manoeuvrable All-Mountain ski on the KÄSTLE line.
A ski designed for connoisseurs looking for an All-Mountain ski for on-piste that constantly offers them the fluidity and unparallelled precision they expect.
