The new DX85 W from Kästle is essentially last year’s LX85 W with the Titanal laminates removed in order to reach the more affordable price of $699.  Any time one takes metal out of a ski, it will lose a large degree of torsional rigidity and a considerable dose of shock dampening, dropping the ski’s speed limit and edging power. The net effect switches the target skier from an advanced to expert woman to one of more modest skills.

For skiers who prioritize ease and comfort over technical performance, the DX85 W is a fine choice. Gals with loftier ambitions should consider the exquisite MX84 in a shorter length.

Women’s Test Data Advisory

Please be advised that our 2022 women’s ski reviews do not show any test data, on either our public or members’ sites. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we haven’t been able to collect sufficient test results to justify showing a statistical summary.

While Realskiers members won’t be able to see stats on women’s reviews, they will see a longer, more in-depth narrative than what’s posted on our public site.

We appreciate your continued support through these troublesome times.
