The Duke PT 16 is an alpine touring binding by Marker
This new binding, designed for extreme freeriders, stands out for its low-tech and alpineoperation. You will be able to enjoy the advantages of an insert binding on the way up and the alpine mode on the way down.
The Ride & Hike front stop allows precise safety release with a DIN of up to 16. In the event of a fall, the AFD (Anti Friction Device) system will ensure lateral release while avoiding being affected by snow and ice.
If you wish to switch to walking mode, simply unlock the upper part and fold it forwards. As this front stop is convertible, it is possible to remove it completely and store it in your rucksack to save 250g on the way up. This way, you can just keep the insert when climbing up. WithAuto Quad Lock, the stop also locks automatically when the boot is in place. In addition to this, the Duke PT 16 has the innovative Inter Pivot 3 heel with a light magnesium part and heightened rigidity.
In addition, the multifunctional Lock & Walk brake systematically blocks the ski-brake and has an ascent wedge with a 10° position that can be activated with a pole. Practical!
