Marker F12 Tour EPF

EPF stands for Extended Power Frame. It creates a wider connection between the binding and your ski, which helps transfer your energy more efficiently to the edges. You will notice this most when you are carving on firmer snow or skiing wider skis, as it makes turn initiation feel more precise and stable.

Yes. The F12 Tour EPF is compatible with standard ISO 5355 alpine soles, as well as touring soles and GripWalk boots. It is designed to be a versatile, one-binding solution for different types of footwear.

Absolutely. While it is built for backcountry touring, the F12 Tour EPF is a frame-style binding that performs very similarly to a standard alpine binding on the descent. It is a great choice if you want a setup that handles resort laps reliably but still gives you the option to skin up for sidecountry access.

At 1190g, these are heavier than a standard alpine binding because of the touring mechanism. While they are not as lightweight as tech-style pin bindings, the trade-off is a more robust, familiar feel on the downhill that many skiers prefer for aggressive resort riding.

The DIN range is 4.0 to 12.0. This covers a wide spectrum of skiers, from intermediates to advanced riders who do not require the extreme retention settings of a race-level binding.
