ZX92 2023
60 days to change your mindThe ZX92 is a model of All-mountain skis from the Kästlebrand.
The ZX92 guarantees fun skiing on all terrains, at all ages and for all freeriders! It's for skiers looking for fun days out, guided by the mood of the moment and the area.
To achieve this, Kästle uses its beech and poplar core already present on its FXrange. The difference lies in the core reinforcements, with fibreglass on both sides of the core. This gives a forgiving flex and good cushioning in hard or transformed snow.
The ski has a front rocker with a tip featuring Hollowtech 2.0, technology that lightens it up in strategic places by removing unnecessary layers, while cushioning shocks even better.
Downhill, its top-of-the-range construction gives it all its character and the performance is unbeatable: Its 92 mm skid means that it retains good load-bearing capacity when fresh.
The ZX92 comes into its own in a versatile format, for your enjoyment!

Core structure:
Each Kästle ski is made with the finest wood core, manufactured with precision to one tenth of a millimetre. This allows the brand to control the weight, responsiveness and cushioning characteristics of the ski, resulting in a high-quality, durable product. The wood type, or combination of different woods, is individually catered to each model line, based on the ski‘s intended use.
Technologies:
- Hollowtech 2.0 : The brand's patented key technology is unique to ski manufacturing. Removing unneeded layers at the front of the ski makes it more stable, edge-grip is more powerful and the overall weight is reduced. The size of each Hollowtech is adapted to individual model lines.
- Elliptical Radius: The shape of the Elliptical Radius determines how quickly and aggressively the ski turns.
- Progressive Rise: The technology optimises the tip of the spatula for better off-piste flotation control.
- Low Camber: A low-profile camber for better turning.
- Hook Free Shovel: Longer tip often associated with progressive lift. The point of contact with the snow is moved towards the centre of the ski, ensuring a more forgiving and manoeuvrable performance.
- Hook Free Tail: Longer heel, which shifts the ski-to-snow contact towards the centre of the ski, resulting in a more forgiving and playful exit from bends.
Déjà excellent avec sa gamme FX plutôt typée freeride strict et rigide, le ZX92 vient enrichir cette gamme avec un profil plus joueur bien dosé en pop. À la limite entre le ski freeride et le ski freestyle backcountry ce ski au comportement très sain a su tenir la route quand on a essayé de pousser dessus en hors-piste. Son flex progressif avec du bon pop nous a aussi régalé quand on a essayé de sauter au-dessus de quelques cailloux, les réceptions se font facilement. Les périodes de transitions entre deux runs sur piste damées se font sans soucis, Le ZX108 a un comportement tout à fait décent en grande courbe sur piste. Néanmoins, ça se complique dès que la neige commence à se durcir, on sent que ce n'est pas pour cela qu'il a été conçu.
Les plus: Joueur, stable et son comportement global dans tout ce que le freeride a à offrir.
Les moins: Son accroche sur neige béton.
