Marker Duke PT

To switch to tour mode, you unlock the toe housing and remove it, stowing it in your pack to expose the lightweight pin-tech system. This significantly reduces weight on your feet for the ascent, and you simply click the housing back into place for a secure, alpine-style connection on the descent.

Yes, the Duke PT is fully DIN ISO certified with a maximum setting of 16, providing the same retention and release reliability as a traditional alpine binding. It is designed specifically for expert skiers who need uncompromised power and safety when charging hard in the resort.

The Duke PT is highly versatile and compatible with ISO 5355 alpine soles, ISO 9523 touring soles, GripWalk, and WTR soles. As long as your boots fall into one of these categories, you should be set.

They are heavier than a pure, lightweight pin-tech binding because they prioritize downhill performance and safety. However, by removing the toe housing for the climb, you shed significant weight, making them much more efficient than a standard alpine binding for backcountry tours.

Yes, the integrated climbing aids are designed to be easily flipped up or down using your ski pole while you are on the skin track. This allows you to quickly adapt to changing gradients without needing to step out of your bindings.

This specific model comes with 100mm brakes. You should ensure your ski waist width is close to or slightly narrower than this measurement to ensure the brakes deploy properly.
