Transcend 98 | 2027

Kastle continues to claim ground in the freeride market with the new Transcend 98. The storied brand built its reputation on race skis before bringing that same precision and power to its freeride-focused Paragon line. While those skis are known for their hard-charging, big-mountain performance, that level of power often comes at the expense of agility, demanding a high level of effort to make quick directional changes in technical terrain. Conversely, the new Transcend series delivers Kastle’s race-inspired precision in a more forgiving, maneuverable package.

A wood and metal core gives the Transcend a stout flex while maintaining the damp, composed feel Kastle is known for. Kastle also incorporates its Hollowtech design, removing material from the tip to reduce swing weight without sacrificing stability. The result is quicker, more confident maneuvering in tight terrain. Rounded tip and tail taper, a directional shape and subtle rocker in the tail round out the design, giving the ski enough forgiveness to feel responsive without sacrificing stability.

Built for firm conditions, the Transcend delivers a smooth, composed ride with just enough forgiveness in the tip and tail to encourage a more playful approach when the snowpack allows. Designed in North America, it reflects the demands of freeride skiers by blending stability with the maneuverability needed for precise line choice. Aggressive skiers will get the most out of its confident, composed personality.
