Marker's Duke PT takes a radical approach to combining top alpine performance with lightweight ascending by using an innovative Ride & Hike toe. For walking, the upper part is unlocked and removed revealing a pin system, the upper section is then stored in a backpack. For the descent the upper jaw is locked back into place and the binding becomes a high-performance alpine unit that will take on any terrain. The Inter Pivot 3 Freeride Heel of the Duke 16 has improved power transmission, energy absorption and vertical heel elasticity combined with better step in comfort.
Overview
Binding Type
Backcountry Hybrid (Multi Norm Alpine on descent and PinCert on ascent)
Boot Compatibility

Key Features

The alpine toe part locks itself at 4 different points automatically when stepping into the binding to ensure maximum safety.
SKIING, Inter Pivot 3 Freeride Heel
The third and newest generation: improved power transmission, energy absorption and vertical heel elasticity combined with an improved step in comfort. The main pivot in the heel sits in the heart of the heel piece and ensures excellent saftey for downhill skiing.
SKIING, Anti Ice Rail
A metal rail on the toe piece can be used to scratch off ice and snow below your boot sole to easily step into the binding.
SKIING/CLIMBING, Ride & Hike Toe
All the Marker Royal Family downhill performance and boot retention you'd expect with a releasable housing to reveal pin-technology for strong and efficient uphill performance. To use the walking mode, the upper part of the toe is simply unlocked, tilted forward and removed, this uncovers the pin binding. Unclipping and removing the upper section saves 300g per foot. When it's time to ski, the top section is clipped back to the base plate, secure by the Auto Quad Lock technology.
