\u003cp\u003eLength changes the Kastle TX94 more than it changes the weight. The 163 cm turns at 13.2 m and the 186 cm turns at 19.2 m, so the run spans two different skis in feel. We point skiers who live in trees and tight couloirs at 163 cm or 171 cm, and skiers who ski open bowls and want a longer arc at 179 cm or 186 cm. Weight climbs 60 g per size step, from 1,290 g per ski at 163 cm to 1,470 g per ski at 186 cm, so the length decision costs very little on the skin track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe TX94 ships flat with no plate mounted, and Kastle does not specify a reinforcing plate for the flat ski, so the mount is open to pin-tech touring bindings, hybrid bindings, or a standard alpine binding. Kastle marks a recommended line on the ski and does not publish an offset from center, so we mount to the factory line unless you ask for something else. Match the binding to your boot sole norm rather than to the ski, since a ski carries no sole standard. Brake width has to clear 94 mm, which puts you on 95 mm or 100 mm brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eSkin width comes off the tail, not the waist. The TX94 tail is 116 mm, so a 120 mm stock skin trims down correctly, and Kastle offers a Pro Skin cut for the TX94 if you want the factory match. The shovel and tail are both hook free, so a standard tip loop works and a tail clip attaches to the tail rather than seating in a notch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"ccbb-rating-key\"\u003eSpecifications verified by CCBB staff.

A 130-94-116 mm shape at 1,290 g per ski (163 cm) puts the TX94 in dedicated touring weight without the narrow waist that usually comes with it, and the paulownia woodcore wound with carbon and glass fiber gives the TX94 more torsional bite on firm snow than a 1,290 g ski usually offers. Turn radii spanning 13.2 m at 163 cm to 19.2 m at 186 cm make length selection the real decision on this ski. What the TX94 does not have is a metal laminate, so skiers who want resort damping should look heavier, and skiers chasing deep snow should look wider.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kastle","offers":[{"title":"163","offer_id":48676845453469,"sku":"210000152178","price":1329.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"171","offer_id":48676845486237,"sku":"210000152179","price":1329.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"179","offer_id":48676845519005,"sku":"210000152180","price":1329.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"186","offer_id":48676845551773,"sku":"210000152181","price":1329.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0256\/7103\/files\/tx94_01.jpg?v=1787946328","url":"https:\/\/cripplecreekbc.com\/en-ca\/products\/kastle-tx94-alpine-touring-ski-2026","provider":"Cripple Creek Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
