The 2026 Kastle MX 88 is an all-mountain ski masked as a front side carver. Kastle emphasizes versatility and energy with these amazing skis. Skiers can expect a very similar overall application to the previous generation MX 88, but with a more sophisticated build and increased smoothness. At the end of the day, this is still a workhorse of a ski, capable of unleashing GS turns at inconceivable speeds with incredible smoothness. The MX 88 is best when used by accomplished skiers who love the feeling of a purely carved turn. We’ve found that going fast is where this ski likes to be the most, and while mid-speed performance is boosted with the latest tech, it’s still happier at higher velocities. While versatility is a thing here, it’s happier on-trail and in a carved turn.

The Rocker / Camber / Rocker profile of the 2026 Kastle MX88
Very similar to anomaly/mantra/enforcer but leans into being a frontside ski.

Thoughts
Frontside primarily. Has some versatility though.
Nothing.
Overal Impression
Feels great. Nice to see an 88 underfoot frontside ski look like a frontside ski. Feels like lots of brands are trying to pretend their similar ski is more versatile. Very similar to anomaly/mantra/enforcer but leans into being a frontside ski.
