Yes, the graphics on these skis are a bit on the bland side, but I honestly don't think there are very many skis on the market that have topsheets with what I would call "great" designs. Most are ugly or over the top in my opinion. They are made in Austria. If you huck your meat and abuse skis, sounds like you could bend just about any ski, not just Kastle's. These look like solid skis, but as I've said, they are pricey. I'm confident they will be excellent performers in all conditions--even occasional hucks to flat. :-) If the construction of the MX108 is like the rest of the line (I’m sure it is), it will have a single 0.5mm titanal topsheet… not two layers of metal, but I’ll check.

That 195 length is rad, graphics are fugly, where are the skis made???? Hugo is on Kastle, hope they listen to him and actually commercialize the skis he actually skis on so I can huck on them and bend the snot out of that metal too!

Well, considering their widest ski was 98mm underfoot last year, 108mm is a step up! You're right though, it isn't as wide as some, but it's right inline with most fat "all-mountain" skis are these days. Ha!

At 108mm in the waist this is an all mountain powder ski at best. Beef up Kastle - 110 is where fat starts. I'm disappointed that Kastle is on a diet when it comes to waist widths. At least they have a 195cm ski for the big kids. Fat ski? At 108mm in the waist this is an all mountain powder ski at best. Beef up Kastle - 110 is where fat starts.
