Kastle TX88 Alpine Touring Ski

The Kastle TX88 Alpine Touring Ski is all-new for the 24/25 season and stands out in the world of touring skis due to its remarkable blend of lightweight construction and high-performance downhill capabilities. Designed for advanced skiers and mountain guides in the Austrian Alps, the TX88 excels at fast and light ski touring and ski mountaineering. The carbon fiber and fiberglass wound Paulownia wood core significantly reduces weight without sacrificing strength and durability. The ski's low weight and stable and robust build ensure that skiers can enjoy extended outings with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment.

One of the key benefits of the Kastle TX88 is its exceptional versatility and performance across various snow conditions when compared to other skis in this weight class. The TX88 is equipped with subtle camber, an early rise tip, and a tighter turning radius that increases the volume of the shovel, enhancing its ability to glide smoothly over powder while maintaining excellent edge grip on hard-packed snow. This adaptability makes it an ideal choice for skiers who might encounter a range of conditions in a single ski tour, especially during tours that cover huge differences in elevation or changes in weather conditions. Furthermore, the TX88's tighter turning radius makes maneuvering the ski a breeze in tighter, more technical terrain.

Weighing in at just 1190g/ski, the Kastle TX88 balances uphill efficiency and downhill performance. The Hollowtech Tip removes weight from the tip of the ski without compromising downhill stability, reducing the swing weight of the ski and increasing maneuverability. The ski's lightweight nature makes it a breeze to handle during ascents, reducing overall strain and allowing you to go higher and further. This combination of attributes makes the TX88 a favorite among backcountry tourers seeking a ski that can handle the rigors of uphill and downhill skiing with ease and reliability.
