Kästle DX73 W review 2020

PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

The Kästle DX73 W in the Vogue series is a women’s version of the men’s DX73. The testers found the ski too short (156 cm) and would have liked to have a few extra centimeters of edge length.

Without a doubt, accessibility is the best quality of this ski. It is really amazing. The testers called it “easy to handle.” The DX73 W doesn’t need any special operating instructions. You are immediately in control. It is reliable and predictable – no surprises.

Performance has not been forgotten. Despite its size and category, this ski surprised testers by its strong performance in long turns at high speed. However, it is a little less at ease in short turns.

This ski offers great potential to improve technique and will allow a lot of skiers to progress.

The Kästle DX73 W will suit intermediate female skiers who want to improve as well as good skiers looking for a light, smooth, and enjoyable ski. At 599 euros including bindings, it offers great quality for the price.

Manufacturer's remarks

The DX73 W ski from the women’s Vogue line brings together all the benefits of a Kastle piste ski, but tailored to female skiers: It is lighter, more responsive, and the binding mount points are women-specific. Female skiers will love the effortless handling and bomber dependability of this ski on the slopes.
