Ski review Kästle TX87 Up

At the 2023/2024 WorldSkitest the skis were closely evaluated in the category „Touring Men 1“. Tester opinion: "The "TX Up" wins the silver medal in the SnowStyle. Everyone was particularly excited about the Hollowtech, which glows at night. This design element is an eye-catcher, but should also make you more visible on night ski tours. The "Kästle" can also inspire our testers on the piste and is rated "Good"."
