All Marker bindings are equipped with the Gliding AFD (anti friction device) which ensures a more effecitve release - with no ill effects from dirt, snow and ice! Individual adjustment of the AFD to the area of application ensures perfect functionality across the entire collection of Marker binding models.
The toe construction with DIN settings up to 18, allows for incredible 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, reducing the risk of early release. The large support surface optimizes power transmission and allows the binding to absorb tremendous pressure.
Never before has a toe this light provided so much performance.
The Inter Pivot heel construction provides fantastic retention when freeriding thanks to DIN values up to 18. The pressure is conveyed directly to the sole of the boot and, increasing optimal power transmission and energy absorption, while reducing the instance of early release.
The patented, ergonomically shaped lever allows for comfortable opening and closing. The under-the-boot position prevents the binding from unwanted release. The hiking aids integrated into the Duke, Baron and Tour models can be easily adjusted from 0°, 7° and 13° via the pole.
The steel or titanium climbing aid can be adjusted with a ski pole and can be clicked into two positions: 7° and 13°. Integrated elastomer-muffler elements aid a comfortable climb eliminate that irritating "clack-clack" sound.
Designed with a low, level stand height for maximum power transmission. It's the shortest frame of all hiking models in the market, yet featuring a 10 mm wider interface than traditional bindings. Connecting brackets are strategically placed in the power transfer areas for immediate edge control. Recommended for skis over 74 mm.

Featuring the same revolutionary toe and heel design as the Duke, but with a 4-13 DIN range and a lighter weight construction that shaves 150 grams of weight, about 1/3 of a pound less than the Duke. The Baron is suited for lighter-weight big mountain skiers who want the performance of the triple-pivot toe and inter-pivot heel.
Power-Width-Design for maximum power transmission
Patented BCT Back Country Technology uphill hiking mode
Marker engineers invented power-width to give our new freeskiing bindings the ultimate power transmission for today's wide skis. NO OTHER BINDING creates as much power and control. Prior to the Duke and Jester, the only technology to accommodate wide skis was making wide brakes. The attachment for Royal Family bindings features a wide bracket that was built on a 76mm minimum ski width. Previous designs had been based on a 63mm ski width.
