Introducing the all new TX 87 alpine touring ski. Kastle has reinvented its renowned lightweight alpine touring “TX” series with one thing in mind, to make them ski better. They have achieved their objective. An empty-wallets-weight heavier than previous versions but whole lot better on the descent no matter the conditions. The TX 87 makes for an ideal ski mountaineering ski, front-side exercise uphiller and spring corn harvester.
With the 174cm length weighing in at 1260 grams, this is a feathery light ski that can hold an edge on serious terrain when it counts. With an oversized early rise shovel, this 87cm waisted ski floats nicely. The “hook free” tip and tail have their contact points moved further towards the center of the ski enabling you to snap into turns quickly with ease.
The TX 87 has a solid Paulownia and Poplar wood core that is wound with carbon-fiberglass, making this versatile lightweight ski stiff and stable. The semi-capped sandwich sidewall construction adds durability and torsional rigidity.
Kastle’s signature Hollowtech 3.0 bright green “eye” reduces swing weight, eliminates tip chatter, dampens the ski at speed and literally glows in the dark, greatly adding to your alpine start and evening uphill experiences. So grab your camera, lengthen the exposure, and make high speed green lines down black slopes with the Kastle TX 87!
