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.

Pros: This binding crosses over between an on piste ripper to a backcountry mad man. Beefy enough to take a beating and keep on trucking.

Cons: Heavy...thats why its so strong...I find that sometimes the system can become frozen over after a long skin.
Purchase Date:November 2007 Purchase Price:$495.00

This binding is one of a kind.  I have tried all other touring style bindings and find that only the Duke can ski the front side of the mountain all day, jump off cliffs in bounds or out, and still with the flip of a switch have the freedom of the freeheelers.  I would recommend it to anyone who uses lifts to access their backcountry terrrian or for those that cant afford more than one setup for powder skiing.  Check your DIN if you run at a recommended DIN maybe the Baron is for you.  You will also save your self $100 bucks.
