Kästle MX67 review 2020
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Kästle MX67 won the "Best Ski" award last year, and this year’s model has the same great qualities.
The first thing we noticed when we tested the MX67 was the balance between accessibility and agility. The ski engages in the turn easily with little effort. Just roll the ski on edge and the tip bites, the ski flexes, and you are already comfortably in a turn, which is of course pretty tight. A decent rebound rapidly launches you into a new turn. You can link turns quickly and smoothly.
The ski is easy to use in all conditions and forgiving of most errors of position. It could not be easier. It is super fun in short swing turns on groomers whether you are skidding or carving the turn.
However, it struggles in very dynamic turns at high speed. It did not seem to perform as well as the model we tested last year, even though the ski does not seem to have change much.
The Kästle MX67 is an excellent ski that we recommend to advanced to expert skiers who want a ski that is very agile, smooth, and accessible.

Manufacturer's remarks
With a new innovative sidecut, HOLLOWTECH 2.0 technology, and a race-inspired sandwich construction, the MX67 is the most nimble all-mountain ski in the KÄSTLE range. The ski was designed for avid skiers looking for an all-mountain frontside ski that is incredibly smooth and precise.
