You'll have to try them sooner or later unless you are collecting skis, so may as well take them for your next holiday. Kastle make good skis, though I only tried BMX98, so can't tell how RX compares with a Magnums which I also own. I suspect at this length they will be more like a GS skis, whereas Magnums even at the longest length turn tighter. So basically you've avoided a quiver overlap even that you ended up with two pairs of front side skis.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

They appear to be a 2010-11 model, and at £70 maybe a bargain, as the retail was around £900.
They are decribed as "For the advanced and expert skier wanting a precision carving ski with a race ski heart".

They are the RX from 2010. 18m radius in that length. A "shop-racer", basically a detuned GS race ski for mere mortals.
For 70 quid you got a nice bargain. Give them a go!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for the responses I 'll give em a go. It's been a while since I've had a piste skiing orientated holiday, more than 3 years I'd say so I'm generally happy on piste on my fatter skis but the compromise on performance over a more dedicated piste ski particularly at speed is obvious. I do enjoy getting the speed up on a nice quiet piste though so these sound like an appropriate tool :sH;
Any links to review as i'm still struggling to find much? if I put RX in I seem to get RX 12's.

At €70 they're a bargain!!! I've only ever heard good things about Kästle, but given the price tag I'm unlikely to try any anytime soon

Bargain. I've only skied the new BMX 108 but I loved it. The new Kastles are very popular among serious (+ rich) skiers and Chris Davenport is an owner in the business so they get serious input.

Really enjoying the skis think they suit my ski style superbly. Very composed and like to be worked hard.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

if you want to move then on give me a shout. I tried some at the ski test some while ago and was really impressed but couldn't justify the RRP!
