season picks
Back by popular demand, the Kästle TX107 is designed for those deep days when saying no to another lap just isn't an option. Following on the heels of the successful TX touring line, this ski answers the request of many a skier who want a wider touring option that delivers Kästle's legendary commitment to downhill performance.
Featuring a semi-cap sandwich sidewall and a paulownia/poplar wood core reinforced with glass fiber and carbon, this ski blends strength, agility, and precision. Hollowtech Evo Luminous tips reduce swing weight and improve stability, while the Hook Free shovel and tail combined with a double rocker profile deliver float in powder and smooth edge release.
With a waist width of 107 mm, the TX107 offers versatile performance for big mountain terrain and soft snow, yet holds its own when the snow turns variable. Available in lengths 171, 179, and 185 cm, weighing 1450–1570 g per ski, the TX107 is ideal for advanced backcountry skiers seeking maximum capability on long tours and steep descents in deep snow.
Kastle TX94 Alpine Touring Ski
The Kastle TX94 Alpine Touring Ski is built for tourers who want one ski for the whole season and care as much about the descent as the climb. A 130-94-116 mm shape puts enough width underfoot to float soft snow while the 13.2 m radius at 163 cm keeps turn initiation quick and playful. At 1,290 grams per ski in a 163, with a paulownia core braided in carbon and glass fiber and a Hollowtech Evo tip that cuts vibration, the Kastle TX94 suits all-mountain touring, spring mountaineering and long days where you still plan to ski hard on the way down.

Why We Like It
- The 130-94-116 mm shape carries the same sidecut at every length, so the ski feels consistent whether you size to 163 or 186.
- At 1,290 grams per ski in a 163 the Kastle TX94 climbs efficiently without giving up the mass that keeps a ski settled in chop.
- The Hollowtech Evo tip removes material where it does least work, cutting tip vibration and making variable snow less punishing.
- A paulownia core braided in carbon and glass fiber holds torsional stiffness, which is what lets a light ski still hold an edge on refrozen snow.
- The Dual Rise rocker with a hook-free shovel and tail releases turns predictably rather than grabbing when the snow changes.
- The luminous Hollowtech insert is easy to spot in the dark, which is a small help on pre-dawn starts.
Best Uses
- All-mountain touring across a full season
- Spring ski mountaineering and firm-snow descents
- Long tours where the descent still matters
- Skiers running pin-tech touring bindings
- One-ski quivers in the 90 to 100 mm range
Ski Specialist's Advice
Length selection tracks terrain more than height on the Kastle TX94. The radius grows from 13.2 m at 163 cm to 19.2 m at 186 cm, so a 163 or 171 stays nimble in trees and tight couloirs while a 179 or 186 rewards open terrain and speed. Weight climbs with length as well, from 1,290 grams per ski at 163 cm to 1,350 grams at 171 cm.
The TX94 pairs naturally with pin-tech touring bindings, and the semi-cap sandwich construction takes a standard mount without a plate. Confirm your brake width clears 94 mm underfoot if your binding carries brakes, and match skin width to the 94 mm waist rather than the 130 mm shovel.
