Characteristics

The heavy-duty touring binding. The overall construction is identical and comes with the same features as the Tour F 10, making this binding the ideal solution for heavier riders or those who need that bit of extra power for tougher terrain. Roughly 60 grams heavier than its lighter sibling the higher DIN range calls for fast turns and steep runs.

Technology

AFD Stainless Steel

All Marker bindings are equipped with a moveable AFD (anti friction device) and therefore guarantee a highly precise release almost entirely unhindered by dirt, snow and ice! Individual adjustment of the AFD to the area of application ensures perfect functionality - from racing, for children’s bindings or on ski tours.

Triple Pivot Elite Toe

The toe construction with DIN/ISO up to Z 18 allows for impressive retention when freeriding. The spring in the toe is inserted horizontally and with a sole plate inclined by 5° it provides the highest energy absorption so as to reduce the risk of early release. The large supporting surface optimizes the power transmission and allows for great stresses and strains. In relation to their weight, toes with this technology therefore achieve a never-seen-before performance.

Hollow Linkage Heel

The heel was also redesigned from the ground up to guarantee optimal retention for all types of alpine and touring soles. The aluminium hollow axle saves on weight and maximizes the torsional stiffness. This very robust heel construction is best suited for the most strenuous of requirements.

Inter-Pivot Heel

The stunning heel construction delivers superior holding power for free riding, featuring DIN/ISO 6-16. The Inter Pivot Heel directs the power forces in the angle of elasticity improving the holding power and reducing pre-releases.

Back Country Technology

Uphill hiking mode, integrated in the Duke binding, featuring easy adjustment from ride to hike. The hiking aid offers a 5° and 10° position. In ski mode the BCT lever is protected from unwanted releases. A 40 mm backward movement of the binding in BC mode results in a better balanced swing weight and easier kick turns.

Climbing Aid

The titanium climbing aid offers two positions with 7° and 13° which can easily be accessed with the ski pole, even in an unstable standing position. Integrated elastomer paddings dampen the impact reducing the irritating traditional “clack” and allow more comfortable hiking.

Hollow Tech

Our fibre-reinforced frame base plate provides impressive riding stability and is yet very light due to the gas injected hollow construction.

Touring Balance

Switching the lever to touring mode moves the whole binding 40 mm backward, allowing a more comfortable walking position and keeping the ski optimally balanced for kick turns and steep terrain.

Touring Base Plate

The wide frame construction is secured at several positions, perfectly distributing the pressure for unparalleled skiing performance. 2 sizes are available for optimum size range and stocking efficiency.
