KÄSTLERX12 GS FACTORY FIS MASTERS

These skis have the word Masters in their name, suggesting a perfect fit for this group. And that is exactly where they belong. Neither too difficult nor too stiff – just right for amateur racers. They earned considerable praise and took second place on points. Comments included: “The best amateur Masters skis – although that sounds like an oxymoron. Very stable, fast and a joy to drive hard. Outstanding turn initiation and a strong pull down the fall line.” Another tester wrote: “Very enjoyable skis for free skiing on well-groomed pistes or for taking your first steps on a genuine GS course. Very stable through the turns. The tips are comparatively soft.” We also heard: “First impression – they are light. They ski very dynamically. Everything works as though programmed. Very little effort produces a great deal of enjoyment.” Then: “I really like these skis for the precision of their turn initiation and the ease with which they track through the turns. To be perfect, they would need to return a little more energy. They remain in my top three, because some of the others were only pretending to be GS skis.”
