2020 Kastle MX89

There’s stability, then there’s MX89 stability. Nothing fazes it. Send it through crud and it bashes every sodden clump of set-up snow out of its way. Toss it on ice and it acts right at home, begging its pilot to tip it further on edge and trust it to hold a honking arc. If it has a speed limit, chances are you’ll never find it. The MX89 exceeds expectations because it flies in the face of current fashion. It is not worried about its weight. Its camber line runs uninterrupted from shovel to tail, as does its sidecut. Its core is made from silver fir and beech, not cork, Koroyd or Paulownia. The top and bottom sheets of Titanal are a stout .5mm thick and paired with sheets of 0o/90o fiberglass weave. Aside from its shock-damping Hollowtech tip, its construction couldn’t be more traditional and its merits couldn’t be more evident once you put it all in motion.
