Marker Duke Ski Binding
As the burliest AT binding ever, the Marker Duke Ski Binding gives hard-charging freeriders who want a tour mode uncompromising performance, bomber durability, and DIN of 16 for pushing the limits of out-of-bounds skiing.
Available Sizes: Small (265-320mm)

Description of Marker Duke Ski Binding:
Built from the ground up for the modern freerider, the Duke Ski Binding is the burliest AT binding ever created. This badass AT binding is all about, well, being badass. To switch from touring mode to ride mode, a rider must take the ski off, pop up the underfoot lever, then put the ski back on. This system guarantees the binding WILL NEVER INADVERTANTLY OPEN IN SKI MODE, a nice thing to know when you're 50 feet in the air and coming down fast.

Connection brackets mount to the ski directly to increase power transfer without ruining the ski's flex. The Duke binding's burly heel and toe piece have wide contact points to facilitate power transfer, and the DIN goes up to 16 to prevent premature release when going big. An adjustable toe height feature gives you an incredibly solid connection with your boot. In tour mode, the binding moves your center of mass backward 30mm for greater efficiency. There's also a choice of two hiking positions, either 6 or 12 degrees.
Bottom Line: The Duke is a full-on freeride binding with touring capability, not a touring binding with a freeride marketing plan.
