As the middle width in the Kastle touring ski stable, the TX94 is designed to be a do-it-all workhorse. At the figurative heart and literal tip of the TX94 is the distinct Hollowtech Evo insert, which reduces weight, absorbs vibration from terrible snow, and results in a high level of stability relative to its athletic weight. Found in virtually all skis Kastle has produced in recent memory, many skiers can attest to the real-life performance this translucent insert provides. Additionally, this Hollowtech insert glows in the dark, which an unwary skimo staffer found out as he saw an unexpected eerie green glow creeping under his door in the late hours of the night. Wanting to make turns more forgiving and predictable in variable backcountry snow, Kastle has moved the contact points of the tip and tail closer to the ski center as compared to the discontinued TX93. This is dubbed a "hook-free tip and tail" which, combined with a double rocker and shorter turn radius, makes for a more maneuverable ride, perfect in trees and rocky chokes. For those Kastle fans who prefer to plow through crud, this ski retains a planted feel and lets you do just that. Built to confidently tackle whatever conditions Ullr offers, the TX94 is a sure bet to bring along on your next mission.

  • Hook Free Tip and Tail create a predictable and fun platform to navigate tricky snow conditions.
  • Paulownia core is combined with Glass Fiber and a Carbon winded Core to create a light, durable, and high-performing core.
  • Hollowtech Evo Luminous insert makes for easier turn initiation, reduces swing weight, and provides a highly stable ride.
  • Double rocker helps the ski float in powder while remaining nimble when needed.

Question from Walter M
 
Thanks for the feedback! I do really think these Kastle TX94 are what I need.
About ski length…I’m 180cm tall, 185 pounds, expert level. Would you recommend to go with179cm or 171cm! Thanks

Answer from Carlos M
 
Hi Walter,

I would go with the 179 for all-around use, if you want to ski them hard! It will offer more stability and float, and it is not too long for you.

Question from Walter M
 
Would these Kastle TX94 be more with the Elan Ripstick tour 94?
12/12/2024
Answer from Gabriel I
 
Walter, by the stats, they look similar. But ski differently.
The Ripstick is heavier and stiffer, ski very well on firm snow and good all around ski. I would say the TX 94 would be more fun in powder.
You haven't mentioned what You are looking for in a ski.

Hi Gabriel, thanks for you feedback!
I looking for the ski that does it all, which means that it has to be for me the one quiver for touring adventures. These can be days on powder, but also days in bad snow/icy conditions, where the edges have to be reliable. I’m not a great fun of speed and I rather prefer quick/narrow turns. Presently, I’m skiing Blizzard Zero G95 178cm. Good skis, but they, not wow to me. I use another pair of skis for resort days.

Hi Walter,

Based on that, I think the Kaestle TX94 could be a good fit for you. The Zero G 95 is not a particularly quick-feeling ski, it has a considerably longer radius. The Kaestle will pull you into a turn quicker and will feel more lively. It is damp and good on edge as well - the Ripstick 94 would be more of a firm-snow specialist, but I think the Kaestle can get it done in those conditions and takes the lead in soft-snow playfulness.

Hi,

Has anybody already skied with these TX94? Pros and Cons compared to the Blizzard Zero G95? I’m very very curious

Answer from Jeff
 
Hi Walter, I demoed these last season. They are quite different from the Zero G.
The Zero G are a long radius and stiffer ski, more precise.
The TX 94 have much more sidecut, turn quicker and easier. They would be a much better soft snow ski.

Answer from jbo
 
Hi Walter, I had a slightly different impression after skiing them: they want to plow through things while the latest Zero G 95 (with Carbon Drive 3.0) wants to dance around things, even with its longer sidecut.

Answer from Walter M
 
So, I would have imagine these TX94 to be very turny (because of the softer tip), but still rigid enoght to hold demanding terrains. The should surf better in soft because of the wider and softer tip on the paper. If you had to roll di dice, which on of the two? (I know your answer is that you probably have a third one in mind….so be it!)
