Kastle is the Nordic world's most resilient brand, boasting a high-end reputation for exceptional manufacturing qualities in alpine skiing, the Austrian brand starts from a high construction base on its cross-country ski ranges in order to quickly make a place for itself in cross-country skiing. This mid-range ski boasts meticulously engineered construction for highly satisfactory performance, especially on hard snow. What are the features of the Kastle XP20 Skate Plus Hard cross-country ski? Hardness is the first point to focus on, and available in two versions, the XP20 Skate Plus Hard represents the best alternative for powerful skiers and the most compact snow. With its highly accomplished construction, it offers excellent skating sensations, great stability and a behavior that remains progressive and tolerant, in keeping with the brand's image. Light and aggressive on the sides, it owes this to an Aramid honeycomb structure sandwiched between hybrid carbon and fiberglass reinforcements. The effect of this design is to reduce weight without sacrificing lateral rigidity so as to maintain powerful edge grip on the push stroke without the inconvenience of lateral torsion. The glide is in line with what you'd expect from a ski of this level, with the Race Plus base and universal structure for highly satisfying glide versatility in the most frequent conditions in the European massifs. The effort made by Kastle to deliver a sporty ski, very comfortable on compact snow and extraordinarily progressive, is clearly evident. Useful info: All Kastle skis are fitted with NIS mounting plates for NNN bindings. These bindings are compatible with Prolink, Turnamic and NNN boot standards.
