MARKER - DUKE FREESTYLE TOURING BINDING

Product Information

Ski Touring / Backcountry / Freestyle binding.

With skiers continuing to treat resorts as gateways to the backcountry, more companies are heeding their call for gear that performs equally as well on the uphill as the downhill. Marker is the latest binding manufacturer to play the game, introducing the Duke, a single-unit alpine binding that includes a climbing function. The Duke (and its counterpart, the Jester, which doesn¹t have the climbing device) is decidedly different than what Marker aficionados have been used to in the past, and not just in appearance. The Duke comes with a climbing mechanism that when activated hinges under the boot toe to provide efficient touring. The system enables the boot toe to move back three centimeters for a more neutral or balanced climbing motion. Despite its place as a touring setup, the Duke is equipped with a 16 DIN (and is available with two brake sizes for fat skis), so skiers can still go as big and as fast as they want on the downhill. Marker also releases the Jester in the same line, a similar binding to the Duke in that it meets the demands of expert freeskiers and freestylers, but without the climbing function.  Sizes: small (sole length 265mm-320mm) and large (sole length 305mm-370mm).
