Kästle ZX108 | 2024

The young folks are changing the game. The next generation of rippers inspired Kästle to build the freeride-oriented ZX line—a universal pow-slayer for freeriders of all ages. The ZX108 leaves nothing on the table in terms of soft snow performance and floatation but will conquer any terrain thrown its way. This ski will make playful moves in any terrain, allowing you to get creative with your turn shapes and smear it out when the duty calls. ZX’s poplar-beech wood core is wrapped with multi-axial fiberglass in a semi-cap construction to provide a smooth and predictable flex—no metal or carbon necessary. ZX108 also includes Kästle’s signature Hollowtech 2.0, a clear cutout tip that shaves weight for better mobility. As tester Drew Ingardia noted, the Kästle ZX108 is “stable at high speeds but can smear a turn like a soft ski.”
