For 2019-2020, the old BMX115 bows out to the latest heavy-hitting premium ski from Kastle: the FX116. Built with the attention to detail and special sauce that Austria-based Kastle packs into all of its premium skis, the FX116 enters the lineup as possibly their most powder-craving ski to date. Fat Hollowtech 3.0 inserts dampen vibrations and help the skis float up on the fluffiest of powder. True to form, there is enough bulk in these skis to keep them on track and ripping through crud and mixed snow. But with fiberglass wrapped around a wood core, they are a high-energy, ultra-smooth option for powder seekers hellbent on ripping as many laps as they can. Kastle fanboys will notice a weight and bulk reduction over previous models, and it's by design. Kastle buffs out the smoothness of their ride in the FX116 and makes the ski accessible to a wider range of skiers than previous iterations were. From Austria with love.
