Kastle XP30 Skate Hard

Versatile | wider sidecut for more comfort | carbon reinforced | sintered graphite base for faster glide

The versatile XP30 is slightly wider for more comfort when skiing or training. The carbon-reinforced wood construction in lightweight paulownia, and the HOLLOWTECH 2.0 technology for reduced weight result in a perfectly balanced ski.

The sintered graphite base makes it robust and lends it good glide performance.

Hollowtech
Being world class requires especially one thing: world class equipment. At the start of this millennium our HOLLOWTECH technology triggered a revolution in alpine skis.

We pursue this same consistent approach in the nordic sector. Removing the unnecessary layers at the tip of the ski makes the tip and therefore the entire ski lighter.

This creates a substantially more balanced ski and reduces the rotational force during forward propulsion. In turn, this requires less energy from the athlete and helps them get to the finish quicker.

CONSTRUCTION
All of our cross-country skis feature a carbon-reinforced CAP construction where the surface layer runs over the sides, effectively protecting the core.

Each Kästle nordic ski is thus impeccably designed for its designated application.

Base
The type of base is perfectly matched to suit different applications and conditions.

RACE PLUS
Universal racing base with the flawless glide performance in all temperatures and snow conditions.

GRINDING FINISHES
In addition to the base material, the grinding of the base determines glide performance and must therefore be selected according to the prevailing conditions. As a general rule, the warmer it is, the coarser the structure required.

The grind is applied at a temperature just above 0 °C. Maintaining a cool environment throughout the finishing procedure, allows the small futures to be precisely ground into the high-performance base.

Stiffness
We use a specially made press to make our new cross-country skis. With over 40 adjustment points it guarantees an unprecedented level of camber tensioning and stiffness adjustment.
For cross-country skiers, aside from the length, it is the stiffness of the ski that is a deciding factor.

For this ski we offer the gradations MEDIUM and HARD.
