MARKER Cruise Bindings

These bindings are designed specifically for boots with tech inserts, which are standard on most dedicated touring boots. They are not compatible with standard alpine (ISO 5355) boots, so ensure your boots have the necessary pin inserts before purchasing.

The bindings feature color-coded climbing aids that offer three positions: flat (0°), 8°, and 12°. You can easily flip between these settings using your ski pole to adjust your heel height for different incline angles while skinning.

A maximum DIN of 10.0 is generally suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers who prioritize a lighter, more efficient touring setup. If you are a heavier skier or prefer to charge aggressively in high-consequence terrain, you may want to consider a binding with a higher DIN range.

The Cruise utilizes Marker's ISI (Intuitive Step-In) toe and heel pieces. This design helps guide your boot into the correct position, making it significantly easier to lock in, even in deep snow or on uneven terrain.

Yes, the bindings offer 25mm of boot sole length adjustment. This range accommodates a variety of boot sizes, making it easier to fine-tune the fit or adjust the setup if you switch to a different pair of touring boots.

Marker uses bio-based and recycled plastics to reduce environmental impact, but they have engineered these materials to maintain the structural integrity required for backcountry touring. You get a lighter, more eco-conscious product without compromising the reliability needed for long days in the mountains.
