Kastle TX93

The TX93 is purpose-built for backcountry touring. While it can handle resort groomers, its lightweight construction and specific touring geometry are designed to save energy on the ascent and provide reliable performance in variable, off-piste conditions.

At 93mm underfoot, this ski is versatile enough for moderate powder days, though it isn't a dedicated powder ski. The Rocker-Camber-Rocker profile helps it float well, but if you primarily ski deep, untouched snow, you might prefer a wider model.

The Hollowtech tip removes material from the shovel of the ski, which significantly reduces swing weight. This makes the ski feel lighter and more maneuverable during technical turns, while also dampening vibrations for a smoother ride at speed.

Yes. Despite its lightweight touring build, the carbon-fiberglass reinforcement and wood core provide excellent torsional rigidity. It holds an edge well on firm snow, giving you the confidence needed for technical mountaineering.

The semi-cap construction balances weight savings with durability. It protects the top sheet from chipping while maintaining the strong edge grip of a full sidewall, making it a smart choice for the rigors of backcountry travel.

Not at all. The combination of the dampening wood core and the Hollowtech tip helps minimize chatter. It feels planted and stable, though it is still a touring ski, so it won't have the same heavy-duty dampness as a dedicated alpine race ski.
