    Which bindings for the Kastle MX84?

    I just purchased a flat pair of MX84s in the 176cm length. This is my first time choosing bindings and I really don't know what factors to consider. I'd love it if someone knowledgable could point me in the right direction and clear up some of the confusion. Kastle says the K12 TRI GW bindings...

    Can anyone identify this Kastle plate...?

    I'm retiring my beloved first gen Kastle RX skis but I'm thinking of reusing the plate and bindings. These were purchased used several years ago and came with a unique plates system for the KTI-14 bindings. A long time ago on Epic someone identified this plate as German made but I cannot...

    Kastle Returns to the World Cup

    No doubt, I'm a Kastle fanboy and this announcement gave me some joy. Kastle is undergoing a pretty radical expansion at the moment. Hopefully it will not turn out to be overly ambitious... Comeback in the alpine ski racing scene after 22 years. Dutch ski racer, Adriana Jelinkova, will be...

    Ski blowout- Stockli and Blizzard

    Hey everyone, Sorry I haven't been posting: I have barely been skiing. Too much going on in my life right now! I hope to take advantage of spring conditions once things settle down: I was supposed to ski in Tahoe last week, but Bend got buried and I couldn't make it out of town. Ah well, life...

    Dumping Old Skis - Considering Kastle FX95 HP / Non-HP

    I've been an infrequent skier the last 5+ years still riding some old Rossignol Energy 194s I bought in 1998. I'm probably now back to a 5-10 day/yr skier mostly in Tahoe with trips to Utah too and ready for new skis. I'm just over 6 ft and 210 lbs and would call myself Intermediate to Advanced...

    17/18 vs 18/19 Kastle FX 95 HP?

    I recently demo'ed the 2018/19 Kastle FX 95 HP, and loved the ski. I'm looking to buy a pair for the best price. During my purchasing research, I found that the 2017/18 Kastle FX 95 HP are priced at 40-50% off, which is obviously attractive. But here's my dilemma...the ski construction in...

    Kastle Ski Question for the Kastle Gearheads

    I have a pair of MX88's that are a few years old (2012 models), and they are great skis. I've just recently purged some skis that I wasn't using, and I have held onto the MX88's (and a couple of other skis). Question for people that have gear addiction (like me)...if I was to sell the MX88's...

  18. Evolution and Revolution of Ski Design

    Review: Evolution and Revolution of Ski Design

    Evolution is safe, revolution is risk. Product managers are in a constant fight for balance and must determine when evolution is not enough and revolution is needed. But evolution can actually be riskier than revolution: brands can be so content with the sales and acceptance of a particular...

    FX95 HP Binding Mount Location

    Howdy, First post here on the forums. I'm coming from an '07/08 Dynastar Legend Pro in a 186. I tend to prefer even fore/aft camber. I'm about to mount a pair of 189 Kastle 95HP's as their replacement. Despite being 3cm longer, they appear 5-10mm *shorter* in cambered running length, most of...
