Kastle RX12 2014 Mens Skis & RacePlate Bindings

Kastle is a speciality ski manufacturer from Austria founded in 1924.  Although not considered one of the major brands here in the UK if you head across to the Alps you will see a large number of these, and they are increasingly becoming popular by those that have found out Kastle’s well-constructed, stable, agile and incredibly versatile range of skis. One of Kastle’s main technological advantages is their patented hollowtech design system.  This has been developed over the last 30yrs and means that the tip of each ski has oval-shaped cut-outs, leaving just a layer of opaque fibreglass this reduces the weight of each ski shovel by up to 15 percent.  The decrease in mass helps the ski minimize vibrations and hold an edge more precisely.  This coupled with using only the latest
and best materials to construct their cores and their timeless clean graphics means that Kastle’s dedication to producing some of the world’s best skis will carry on for another season. The Kastle RX (Race Cross) 12 skis are outstanding in their class.  These are new for the 2012/13 season and offer true on piste performance with unmatched running stability.  Along with the Hollowtech technology at their tip they also have the Elliptical sidecut technology and these come with the Race Plates to offer excellent movement and grip underfoot when pushing these skis to the limit. The RX handles all on-piste variables (snow conditions, volume of traffic, speed…). Ski Specification Geometry:  118mm / 70mm / 100mm Turn Radius:  16.5 metres at 176cm Terrain: Piste Weight: 3015g / Pair
Core Material: Titanal sandwiched Ash Wood core Camber/Rocker:  Full Camber Technology:  Elliptical Radius, Fast Grip Shovel and tail, Hollowtech. Bindings:  RX Race Plate and K12 Ti Ski Features Hollowtech: This is Kastle’s proprietary Hollowtech technology ensures a smooth ride and consistent edge tracking.  Hollowtech is the evolution of a 30-year-old Kastle innovation.  The tip of each ski has oval-shaped cut-outs, leaving just a layer of opaque fibreglass.  Hollowtech reduces the weight of each ski shovel by up to 15 percent.  The decrease in mass helps the ski minimize vibrations and hold an edge more precisely.  The 2012 Kastle ski line features more Hollowtech than ever:  The investment into new heaving stamping machinery allows a 10% larger and lighter Hollowtech for
the MX88 and MX83.  Bigger volume Hollowtech create even greater weight savings on the new TX97 and TX107 touring skins. RX: This range offer true on-piste performance with unmatched running stability.  These really are the precision tools of the Kastle range and offer superb power and stability. Fast Grip shovel and tail: This means that the widest point at the tip and tail of the ski is just further forward than the contact point.  This allows easy turn initiation, but as soon as you put them on edge then will take to the turn and initiate the carve. Waist 70 mm: A bit wider than a classic carving ski the running surface is increased by about 6%. This allows consistent edging on varying surfaces and when carving makes higher edge angles possible.   Ski geometry: The DUAL RADIUS
PISTE enables agile turns. The narrower turning radius in the shovel creates progressive steering characteristics. The tail possesses a bit wider turning radius. With a different turning radius in the tip and tail, this construction allows exce
