Kästle MX67 review 2019
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
We pre-tested all of the skis to see if they should be considered for the PROSKILAB™ review. We wanted to narrow down the field to the best skis according to PROSKILAB™ criteria. In January 2018, we tried a few skis from the Kästle range and decided to include some of the models in our 2019 review, including the MX67. It was an excellent decision as the testers absolutely loved the ski.
The MX67 is a great all-round performer and is versatile. It has the liveliness of a slalom ski without being overpowering and is quite playful. In addition to its agility and proficiency on-piste, it is a blast to ski on. The feeling on the snow is amazing and the MX67 is a dream on soft snow. It is not very demanding technically, although it is less comfortable making skidded turns. Easy, confidence-inspiring, and adaptable, it will help a good skier improve and make quicker turns.
The testers' comments speak for themselves: "Pure bliss," "An awesome ski," "Super easy to use and super playful, I'm going to buy it!"
It won the "Best Ski" award in 2019. The MX67 is unquestionably a great success story for Kästle and perfectly fulfills all the criteria in PROSKILAB’s "Carvers" category. We recommend this ski for advanced to expert skiers looking for the ideal blend of performance, agility, and fun.
