A ski that can do everything, that is the dream most skiers have. Fortunately for us, Kastle have designed the FX96 that can do just that, everything. If you want to get away from the crowds and ski in the backcountry or maybe you want a day charging the groomers, then is FX96 freeride ski can do it all. You can even use this as a free touring ski, throw some pin bindings on and you are good to go.
The 3D shape, triple wood core and carbon-fibreglass wrapped core of the lightweight TRI technology results in maximum transfer of power, stability and perfect float. Combined with HOLLOWTECH 3.0 this ski raises the bar in terms of minimised weight and maximised downhill performance.
The HP in the name stands for high performance and the FX96 HP certainly lives up to its name. For a one quiver ski, this is hard to beat

More about HollowtechKastle's patented, key technology is unique to ski manufacturing. By removing unneeded layers in the front of the ski Kastle make the ski lighter. This results in several advantages: the ski becomes up to 30 % damper, the ski feels more stable, edge-grip is more powerful, steering is more precise and the overall weight is reduced.
The new version 3.0 of Kastle's HOLLOWTECH technology has been revolutionized: It is now even lighter and features exclusively in the FX and PX ranges. HOLLOWTECH 3.0 is created in two layers. A new outer ring cuts out even more materials to save more weight. The size of the HOLLOWTECH is precisely matched to the shovel of each particular model - for performance that´s unbeatable.
IMPORTANT: Buying Skis From The Skiers Lounge
When you buy skis from The Skiers Lounge we always QC check them, and wax them properly with a ski waxing iron before dispatch. This is because the wax on nearly all brands of skis is for transit protection, and most often applied as it rolls over a waxing brush and into cellophane packaging. We do not charge for this because we believe all new skis should have a good wax before first use.
When buying skis with bindings we will require the following information. Please add this information in the Special Requests box at the checkout, as without this information we wont be able to progress your order to the workshop for correct binding setup:
