They say

The W-Kart is designed as a quick, intuitive piste performance ski. It uses a slalom shaped sidecut with rocker responsive turning and playfulness. 

We say

This is a great entry level carving ski, the X-Kart has a reactive shape which matches up well to the light construction to give a ski that gives a lot back to the skier and reacts well to being placed on the edge. It has a soft, forgiving flex that gives a smooth ride and responds well to pressure. It feels happy in all turn shapes and it is easy to adjust and redirect. Like a lot of skis we have tested in this category it does have an upper limit, and if it’s pushed hard at high speeds on harder snow conditions it will start to break away.  Overall, this is an easy, fun ski that would work really well for skiers just getting into carving and exploring the performance of the ski.

Tester Comments

Good value for money ski for intermediate to advanced skiers, playful, light and easy to use
Rowena Phillips
A good recreational ski that is easy to steer and grips well at lower speeds
