The new Kastle Biafo 88 Alpine Touring Ski is the narrower of the two touring offerings in Kastle's new Terra women's lineup, perfect for skiers prioritizing uphill efficiency and downhill performance. It features a lightweight construction with a Paulownia wood core wound in a custom fiberglass and carbon laminate, significantly reducing the overall weight while maintaining excellent torsional rigidity for maximum edge hold. This makes ascents less demanding and helps skiers conserve energy for the descent. Additionally, Kastle's Hollowtech Evo Luminous tip further reduces weight and minimizes vibrations, enhancing the ski's agility and maneuverability in tighter, more technical terrain.
A major benefit of the Kastle Biafo 88 is its versatility in various snow conditions. The ski has a low camber profile with Progressive Rise in the tip and tail, allowing it to switch seamlessly between powder and hard-packed snow. The early rise tip enhances floatation in softer snow, while the camber ensures excellent edge grip and stability on firmer surfaces. This versatility makes the Biafo 88 an excellent choice for skiers who want a light and fast ski for long tours that won't let them down should they encounter some soft snow
The Kastle Biafo 88 stands out for its balanced combination of lightweight construction and robust performance. Its reduced weight is ideal for long tours and steep ascents, while its stable and responsive design ensures a confidence-inspiring descent. The Biafo 88 easily handles challenging terrain, providing a smooth and controlled ride across various conditions.
