The Marker Duke PT 16 100mm ski bindings are the pinnacle of innovation and performance, designed for the most demanding big-mountain and backcountry skiers. Combining the superior downhill performance of the Jester with the uphill efficiency of a pin binding, the Duke PT 16 sets a new standard in versatility and reliability.
Key Features
1. Ride & Hike Toe: The Duke PT 16 features the innovative Ride & Hike toe, which allows for seamless transitions between ski and walk modes. For walking mode, the upper part of the toe is unlocked and tilted forward, revealing the pin binding. This design saves 300 grams per foot, enhancing uphill efficiency.
2. Auto Quad Lock Technology: When switching back to ski mode, the front jaw section clicks back onto the base plate and is secured by the Auto Quad Lock technology, ensuring a secure and stable connection. This mechanism provides the reliability of an alpine toe with the added benefits of a pin binding.
3. Interpivot 3 Freeride Heel: The heel piece is the latest generation of the Interpivot 3 freeride heel, featuring a lightweight magnesium housing for improved stiffness and durability. This design allows for direct power transmission and quick edge changes, essential for aggressive skiing.
4. Multinorm Compatibility: The Duke PT 16 bindings are compatible with alpine, touring, and GripWalk boots, thanks to the Multinorm technology. This ensures that you can use the bindings with a variety of boot types without compromising performance.
5. Anti Ice Rail: Tackling icy conditions is made easier with the Anti Ice Rail technology, which prevents ice buildup and ensures the bindings function flawlessly in all weather conditions. The metal rail can also be used to scrape off ice and snow from your boot soles.
6. Lock & Walk Unit: The multifunctional Lock & Walk unit automatically locks the brakes and provides a 10° climbing aid, making ascents more manageable and efficient.
7. Gliding AFD: The Gliding AFD (Anti Friction Device) ensures consistent boot-to-binding contact, reducing unwanted friction and allowing for precise energy transmission. This technology guarantees seamless ski performance.
