XPLORE OFF-TRACK

Rottefella Xplore Backcountry Off-Track is a new binding system that gives you an even better backcountry experience in all kinds of terrain. The rotation point of the binding is moved backwards, as close to the foot as possible. This provides better mobility and increased stability when downhill skiing. The connection interface between the shoe and binding is wider which maximises stability. The SpringPin technology makes it easy to step in and out of the binding, and the pin's position on the side of the boot removes the risk of snow packing. The 36 mm heel lifter provides a more comfortable ascent in steep terrain. The binding is compatible with boots that have Xplore-system integrated in the sole.

All models of our XT-line can be mounted with the Xplore Off-Track. Especially the XT77 and XT84 are recommended with this binding.

Kastle Kaestle Skis

Born in Austria

NORDIC TECHNOLOGY

What puts our new generation of cross-country skis at the top has its roots in the 1970s: it is pure innovative power. Just like back then, we are developing technologies and designs that go from the professional sector into series production - and once again setting new standards, whether in the classic or skating sector.

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

A passion for skiing is deeply rooted in the company's DNA and will sustain our main source of motivation.

Key Nordic technology from Kästle

CONSTRUCTION

All cross-country models have a carbon-reinforced CAP construction. Its surface film runs over the side and thus protects the core perfectly. In the end, every Kästle Nordic ski is ideally tailored to its area of ​​use.

CORE

Nowhere is survival harder than in nature - the solutions used here are accordingly sophisticated. With their hexagonal honeycombs, bees have developed an ideally stable construction that allows for maximum strength with the least amount of material.

VARIANTS

Professional cross-country skiing is an extreme sport – for athletes and equipment! And with different temperatures and snow conditions, there are variables that cannot be influenced. We have developed four types of running surface for optimal performance in a wide range of conditions.

SURFACE

For the top models, we use high-quality graphite sintered rubbers. The result: the best gliding properties and maximum durability. We offer four rubbers tailored to the area of ​​use and conditions. The number of stars describes the quality of the gliding properties.

BASE GRIND

In addition to the coating, the right grind has an immense influence on the gliding properties and must be selected according to the prevailing conditions. Rule of thumb: the warmer, the coarser the structure.

BINDING SYSTEM

Kästle cross-country skis are delivered with an integrated NIS plate* - it guarantees a natural flex thanks to the screwless connection to the ski.

The plate is compatible with the New Nordic Norm (NNN) from Rottefella.
