Kastle BMX98 (2012)
Tester's Review
Years of testing have taught us that aggressive skiers love Kästles because they crush mountains. The BMX 98, of the new Big Mountain Cross series, is no different, but it also hides an approachable and fun side. It's softer and more smearable than previous Kästles, which helped in the trees, crud, and bumps, yet it attacks the mountain and carves GS arcs when asked.
PRICE (MSRP): $999.00
