Lightweight and easy-going the LX72 is incredibly easy to ski for the progressing intermediate skier. Ideal for women, but also for lighter male skiers too wanting a forgiving carver to develop their skiing on.
One of Kastle’s main technological advantages is their patented hollowtech design system. This has been developed over the last 30yrs and means that the tip of each ski has oval-shaped cut-outs, leaving just a layer of opaque fibreglass this reduces the weight of each ski shovel by up to 15 percent. The decrease in mass helps the ski minimize vibrations and hold an edge more precisely. This coupled with using only the latest and best materials to construct their cores and their timeless clean graphics means that Kastle’s dedication to producing some of the world’s best skis will carry on for another season.
The LX range from Kastle utilizes a lighter weight wood core and so is idea for women or slightly lighter or less aggressive male skiers, who want all the benefits that you would get from the Kastle MX range, but without the weight. These skis have been popular for a number of seasons now and have won many awards, mainly thanks to the easy handling and sporty nature of this all mountain ski.
Ski Features
Hollowtech:
This is Kastle’s proprietary Hollowtech technology ensures a smooth ride and consistent edge tracking. Hollowtech is the evolution of a 30-year-old Kastle innovation. The tip of each ski has oval-shaped cut-outs, leaving just a layer of opaque fibreglass. Hollowtech reduces the weight of each ski shovel by up to 15 percent. The decrease in mass helps the ski minimize vibrations and hold an edge more precisely. The 2014/15 Kastle ski line feature more Hollowtech than ever.
LX:
The LX range offers a lightweight feel with uncompromising performance. These skis feel agile, confidence inspiring and are incredibly easy to ski on.
Fast Grip shovel and tail:
This means that the widest point at the tip and tail of the ski is just further forward than the contact point. This allows easy turn initiation, but as soon as you put them on edge then will take to the turn and initiate the carve.
Waist 72 mm:
Outstanding handling characteristics especially in all piste conditions and confidence inspiring thanks to the oversized tip and rounded tail.
Ski geometry:
The single radius masters varying conditions and difficult terrains. The harmonious sidecut enables a smooth and exceptional ride.
Wood core:
Silver fir (~0.55 kg/dm³) has been used for the wood core, providing the ski with a very low weight. In order to combine a comfortable longitudinal flex design with high torsional rigidity, the traditional sandwich core concept has been reinforced with a structural element. This wood core, in combination with titanal sheeting, allows perfect harmonization of vibrations and flexing characteristics. the supporting cap from various fibreglass sheets acts like a torsional box, equipping the ski with high torsional rigidity
Features:
By using a 0.5 mm titanal base and top sheet high stability is achieved for on-piste performance. In combination with the all other utilized technologies a dynamic and lightweight ski could be created.
