Philpug: Kästle has always offered a narrow MX. The 70, 74, 78, even a 67 have always been in the line, but they were never really marketed to the US customer. Sure, a handful of premium shops might stock them, but those are few and far between, which is really a shame.
The on-snow feel of the MX75 is just what you would expect: smooth, silky, and most obviously much quicker edge to edge than its more popular brother, the MX83. What you can expect is a nice, quick reaction and zing when you load up the MX75. Hmmm, I am not sure I have ever used the term "zing" when describing a ski. Well, to expand on it, wouldn’t the old MX70 and more recent MX67 also have zing? Just because a ski is narrower doesn't give it zing. Zing is also a relative term: the MX75 has more than the MX83, and much of that has to do with the shape in the all-new tip and its 15.5m turn radius
Drahtguy Kevin: The quickness of this ski from edge to edge got my attention immediately. The 15.4m turn radius is easy to tighten, and the secure feel gained my trust, allowing me to give’r. Even in a shorter length than I would like, the ski never wavered when pushed. The smooth transition from one turn to the next made giggle. I’d pony up to buy this ski.

Insider tip: You may have to look long and hard, since not a lot of shops will be stocking this one.

Insider tip: A shorter length upped the fun for me.
- Who is it for?
