Marker Duke PT

The toe piece is designed to be removed during the ascent, which significantly reduces swing weight on your feet. You simply unlock the mechanism, detach the heavy alpine component to store in your pack, and use the integrated pin system for a more efficient, natural stride.

The Duke PT is multinorm compatible, meaning it works with standard alpine soles, touring soles, and GripWalk boots. It is a versatile choice if you own multiple pairs of boots or plan to upgrade your footwear in the future.

Yes. Once you reattach the toe piece and lock it into place using the Auto Quad Lock technology, it performs exactly like a traditional high-performance alpine binding. You get the same power transmission and security you would expect from a resort-focused binding like the Marker Griffon.

The 24 mm low heel height keeps you closer to the ski, which improves your leverage and allows for faster, more responsive edge-to-edge transitions. This is particularly noticeable when you are carving on firm snow or navigating technical terrain.

The Duke PT is engineered for intermediate to advanced skiers who need a robust, high-performance binding. Because of its weight and the technical nature of the hybrid system, it is likely overkill for a beginner and may be more complex than necessary.

The binding features a Multi-functional Lock & Walk unit that provides a 10-degree climbing aid. This helps reduce calf fatigue on steeper skin tracks by keeping your foot at a more comfortable angle during the climb.
