Marker Bindings - Setting the standard in Ski Binding Technology

Marker Ski Bindings have set the pace for innovation and safety that continues on through the 2009/2010 season. The major players of last year the Duke and Jester have been supplemented by the lighter called the Baron and Griffon that encompass the same elements but aimed at the light weight and non-touring skier.

There are three innovations that set these bindings apart from the crowd.

      
  • Power-width-design
    •   
  • BCT Back country Technology
    •   
  • Triple pivot elite toe & inter pivot heel

So just what do these techno terms mean to the skier.

Power-width-design means the bindings are targeted at wider skis. The Marker Duke is aimed at a minimum 76mm ski making it ideal for the modern fat skis. This gives the binding a greater rotational torque that helps to turn the ski onto its edge with minimum force. This makes the Duke multi-functional and suitable for carving, all-mountain, freeriding, back country, call it what you like skiing.

Back country technology allows the use of a single under foot switch to move the center of gravity by 30mm to make it easier to go uphill. Added to that is the 5 and 10 degree tilt modes to improve hiking, yet the binding frame is small and light.
