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 Paragon 93
“The PARAGON 93 is a true all-rounder. The Infini Core FREE with a triple wood core and double titanal inlays results in stability, dampness and effortless float. Combined with HOLLOWTECH 2.0, this ski yields maximum power transmission.
Skiers appreciate the titanal-reinforced PARAGON 93 for its reliable performance and playful character thanks to DOUBLE ROCKER.”
