Marker Duke PT

The toe piece is designed to be convertible. For climbing, you can remove the upper part of the toe housing to expose the pin system, which significantly reduces weight on your feet. When you reach the summit, you simply click the toe piece back into place to convert it into a standard alpine binding for the descent.

The Duke PT features Sole.ID technology, which makes it compatible with almost all standard ski boots. It works with traditional ISO 5355 alpine soles, ISO 9523 touring soles, and GripWalk soles, so you likely won't need new boots.

Yes, the Auto Quad Lock system ensures the binding locks securely into place for the descent. It provides the same power transmission and safety release characteristics you would expect from a dedicated alpine binding, making it suitable for high-performance skiing.

Removing the toe piece saves approximately 250 grams per foot. While it might seem like a small amount, reducing swing weight on your feet makes a noticeable difference during long ascents or when skinning through deep snow.

The Duke PT offers a DIN range of 4.0 to 12.0. This makes it an excellent choice for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a single setup that handles resort laps in the morning and backcountry touring in the afternoon.

Yes, it features an integrated climbing aid that provides a 10-degree angle. This helps reduce calf strain and improves efficiency when you are navigating steeper terrain on the ascent.
