These peaked my interest too. From what I can tell they are Kastle's attempt to get good skiers on their brand at a lower price point. Kinda of a BMX with no metal, so easier and therefore cheaper to build. Full retail was $800 instead of the usual Kastle $1,200. I am guessing people did not know what to think of them and consequently they did not sell well. The few reviews and comments I could find were pretty positive.

If they weren't a complete overlap of my 192 Stokli 110 TTs I'd pick'm up. Hell, Kastles for a couple hundred bucks are a unicorn.

That last sentence is why I’m so stunned no one wants them? It’s been almost a year that have been at that price and I don’t want to let them go for so cheap because I got them for like 25% off,not the usual 40% I shoot for, but they are wasting away in my apartment.

The zx108 definitely has metal in the mounting zone. Personally they’re too soft snow biased for a 108 ski. In soft snow I’m on something wider. I got mine for free and tried skiing them at +2. Tail was way to stiff. +1 they’re better but still want a very traditional stance. Also they ski stiffer than they hand flex. The tip is super soft but the tail is pretty stiff, which creates an unbalanced feel unless you’re skiing soft snow that pushes the tip.
