Marker Duke PT 12 Freeride Touring Tech + Alpine Ski Bindings - 2021

The Marker Duke PT 12 is the ultimate freeride touring binding for skiers who demand no compromise between saving weight and performance on the downhill. Highlighting the innovative design of the Duke PT 12 is the Ride & Hike toe. All you need to do is unlock the upper part and tilt it forward, exposing the pin binding, to enable the walk mode. If you are really looking to watch your weight, the upper jaw can be removed and tucked away in your pack. The Lock & Walk system automatically locks the brakes to give a 10° climbing boost.

When you are ready to head downhill, simply click the front jaw back onto the base plate. The front jaw is quadruple secured with Auto Quad Lock technology to keep it locked into place, allowing you to use the toe piece as if it were a normal alpine binding. The Hollow Linkage 2 is the latest generation of lightweight heel pieces. With a low profile of 24mm high, direct power transmission is a breeze when moving edge-to-edge and the Sole.ID plate gives these bindings the compatibility to work with Alpine, GripWalk, or Touring boots.

When it comes to resort/backcountry combo setups, the Duke PT 12 has got to be a favorite to land between your skis and boots.
