[Editor’s Note: Our “First Looks” are our way of getting you information sooner on some of the products we’re reviewing, including our measured specs and the details from the manufacturer. Once we’ve started testing a given product, we detail our on-snow impressions in our Flash Reviews and our annual Winter Buyer’s Guide. When we’re able to spend extensive time testing a given product, we publish our in-depth Full Reviews and Deep Dive comparisons.]
What Kästle says about the MX84
“The MX84 is certainly Kästle's most versatile all-mountain ski. Its innovative sidecut, the new designed HOLLOWTECH EVO and the race-inspired classic sandwich construction turn it into the perfect companion, on and off piste.
This is a powerful piste ski that also tackles the toughest backcountry conditions with supreme precision.“
Flex Pattern
Here’s how we’d characterize the flex pattern of the MX84:
Tips: 5.5-6
Shovels: 6.5-8
In Front of Toe Piece: 8.5-10
Underfoot: 10
Behind the Heel Piece: 10-9
Tails: 9
The rear two-thirds of the MX84 are quite stiff, but the front one-third is quite a bit softer, particularly the hollowed-out portion of the ski’s shovel.
