OUR REVIEW OF THE KASTLE TX94
The TX94 appears to have been softened compared with the previous TX93, which is good news for ski touring. The former version certainly offered incredible edge grip, but required solid technique and good fitness. The new ski is easier to handle, particularly thanks to reduced camber and a softer flex. It is also considerably less physically demanding—a welcome improvement after a tiring ascent. Edge grip remains very good, even if it is slightly below that of the previous version.
In spring conditions, the TX94 is enjoyable and highly manoeuvrable, both when carving and pivoting. In powder, it rises very effectively to the surface and remains stable as the pace increases. It is also a pleasure to handle in these conditions and performs well in crusty or rotten snow. Its only real limitations appear in chopped-up terrain, where its low weight and slightly harsh snow feel become noticeable. A ski particularly well suited to highly versatile touring use.

PRESENTATION OF THE KASTLE TX94
The Kästle TX94 embodies the perfect balance between lightness and performance, a ski designed to accompany mountain enthusiasts on every adventure. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and premium materials, it stands as a reliable companion, transforming each outing into a unique experience.
At its core lies a Paulownia wood construction that combines lightness with energy. Reinforced with layers of carbon and fiberglass, it delivers remarkable stability even in the most demanding conditions. This innovative design allows for effortless ascents while maintaining the power and responsiveness required for smooth, controlled descents.
Thanks to DUAL RISE technology, the TX94 adapts seamlessly to a wide range of terrain and snow conditions. Its progressive tip enhances float in powder and ensures intuitive turn initiation, while its behavior remains predictable and stable on hardpack and technical alpine terrain. This versatility makes it the most complete touring ski in the Kästle range, created for those who seek the freedom to explore without compromise.
On the descent, the TX94 impresses with its precision and composure. Despite its reduced weight, it performs with the confidence and assurance of an alpine ski, delivering solid edge grip and fluid handling even at higher speeds. This duality—effortless climbs combined with powerful descents—is what sets it apart, elevating every moment spent in the mountains.
The Kästle TX94 is more than just a touring ski. It is a promise of boundless exploration, an invitation to push limits and discover the mountains in their purest form.
