Pros: Light, lively and yet powerful
Cons: Price, but well worth it.
Review:
Kastle doesn't make skis..which are essentially "tools", Kastle makes instruments. The FX series and specifically the 94 are some of the more anonymous skis offered. The MX's, RX's and even BMX's get all the press but the FX's are the black diamonds of the Kastle line (I will address the equally ignored LX's in their own review). But if you are looking for what could be the smoothest most refined ski offered, the FX94 is your choice. The FX's are very traditional in that they are a wood metal laminate with no early rise, no system bindings, no bars or beams, just pure function.
