Ski Review

Light, fun, and fast are the three words that best describe the 2021 Kastle FX 86. It's always interesting skiing and comparing some of the more intermediate to advanced level skis as they are oftentimes some of the most surprising. The main difference between these 86's and some of the mid-80's competitors is the quality of ingredients and build. You can certainly feel the high-end quality and the way they go about their construction process is a good deal different from other skis. Kastle's big difference is that they fully wrap the wood core in fiberglass to get the power they need. When fiberglass is used in a three-dimensional application, it gets a lot more responsive. Additionally, the epoxy used is on the heavier side and contributes to the stability of the ski. In the tips, the Hollowtech design creates a large area that is lighter than the rest of the build. The less mass, the less vibration, so they're taking that out of the equation. The result is a smooth and stable ski with a lot less weight. While still not made for the heaviest or most aggressive skiers on the hill, the 86 still packs a good punch. Super-quick and awesome in bumps and trees and other quick-turn zones, these skis love to be on edge making all sorts of turn shapes and styles.
