Pros: All the accolades are true
Cons: Sell your kids to buy these skis..you can make more. The 188 is a bit disproportionate of size
Review:
What can be said about the MX88 that hasn't been said? Not much. Well for 2013 Kastle tweaked what wasn't broken. On the new and improved MX88, they sidecut was evolved from a dual radius to an elliptical but kept the identical dimensions and the Hollowtech in the tip was enlarged. In skiing the outgoing model back to back with the new one, I had difficulty discerning the difference. Frankly, I don't care if there was a change or not, the MX88 is the best ski built. Period.
One thing I would change is that I would offer the skis in a 7-8cm size break...10cm is too much.
