Product Info
The Kästle MX88 Skis define the "all-mountain" category in Europe, where many of the best skiers refuse to give up carving even in a ski they intend to take off-piste. Tenacious edge grip and an ability to hold an edge at speed regardless of the snow conditions is a given with Kästle, but the MX Series is the standard bearer and the MX 88 holds true to form. What's different is the Early Rise tip rocker and Hollowtech 3.0 tip that make this ski nimble and versatile enough for a multitude of snow conditions, as well as in bumps and trees.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Early Rise – Improves float and enables easy handling for on-piste and all-mountain conditions.
Standard Camber – With Sandard Camber, the ski center is clearly elevated and the contact points to the snow are far forward and back. The effective edge is longer and the ski initiates turns more quickly and precisely.
Sidecut
Elliptical Radius
Shape
Fast Grip Shovel – The Fast-Grip-Shovel is a short shovel in which the contact point and the widest part of the shovel are located far forward. This ensures a faster response at the beginning of the turn.
Fast Grip Tail – The Fast Grip Tail is designed with a contact point at the widest part of the tail, near the end of the ski. This results is a more aggressive and precise performance at the end of the turn.
Core
Beech and Poplar Central Core with Poplar at the Edges
Laminates
Hollowtech 3.0 – The new, revolutionized HOLLOWTECH 3.0 has a two-tier construction: a new outer ring cuts out even more material and therefore even more weight. The size of the HOLLOWTECH is always precisely matched to the shovel of each particular model.
Sidewalls
Classic Sandwich Sidewall Construction
Base
Sintered Race Base
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.
- Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level:

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
