Ride & Hike – The brand new Marker Duke PT 12 (DIN 4-12) alpine ski binding for extremely demanding freeriders.
The Duke PT 12 (DIN 4-12) binding is not only completely new, but also combines the performance of a Squire with the climbing ease of a pin binding. A remarkable feature backed by its innovative Ride & Hike toe piece.
In walking mode, the upper part is simply unlocked and turned forward, revealing the insert binding. To reduce swing weight, the upper part of the toe piece can be removed and stored in a backpack. The Lock & Walk multifunction unit automatically locks the ski brake and serves as a climbing wedge with a 10° inclination.
When descending, the front section of the toe piece is re-inserted on the plate and the Auto Quad Lock technology ensures that it is locked at four points. Now the toe piece works like a normal ski toe piece, with all the associated benefits! The heel unit belongs to the latest generation of lightweight Hollow Linkage heel units. The reduced height of only 24 mm guarantees direct power transmission and faster curve changes.
