KÄSTLE FX 96Ti | 2022 SKI TEST

Here we go, Ski and Bike Magazine's on-snow ski test of the Kästle FX 96 Ti... Kastle's hashtag is #forskiers and this is just that: A ski for accomplished skiers. A powerful 96mm all-mountain ski that's surprisingly happy on the front side and hardpack conditions as it is all over the mountain. Legendary ski maker Kastle's answer to the Volkl M6.

Skied a lot of Kastles in my day and not enough reviews of their latest skis so thank you :) Good advice re strong technical skiers liking the FX96. To me its a nice balance of power and finesse so its something a good skier can really enjoy and ski all day without getting beaten up. If you are more of an intermediate or a little less techincally strong the ZX100 is a great choice and great value. Or if you prefer to pretend the whole hill is a race course and want something that will blow through crud instead of dance in it - I would recommend the MX98

Thanks so much guys for the great reviews! Looks like you were having fun :)

I have FX96, very nice skis on groomers. As long as the skier has good techniques, they can do all kind of turn shapes. They pretty much ski like a pair of 85 waist width skis. They are a bit heavy for doing steep woods with soft powder and moguls all day.

Totally agree
