Back with no changes for 2019-2020, Kastle TX series features some of the lightest and highest-performance backcountry touring skis in the industry. The main gripe with touring skis over the years has been the fact that they may not hold the best edge as most touring skis in the past have been cap construction. Now the TX line features a full sidewall on each model. You still get a ski that is lightweight underfoot, snappy in turns, and damp enough for charging through a variety of snow conditions. Like all Kastle skis, the TX has Hollowtech in the tips reducing swing weight and keeping the ski quiet. Sandwich Cap construction provides the ideal balance of the high-end durability and edge performance of sandwich construction with the lightweight benefit of cap construction. Notice the handy notch in the tail for quick skin attachment. We recommend a tech binding for this ski. Happy exploring.
