Choose this binding for optimized downhill performance, but do so with caution. As it pertains to inherently compromised backcountry ski bindings, we can seldom make absolute claims. However, we can definitely assert that the Marker Duke PT is the best skiing binding that can also tour. Aside from minor points, the Duke PT skis as well as basic to above average resort bindings. We can say that about few to no other backcountry products. 
That, though, is where the applause ends. To get that downhill performance, the Duke PT is too heavy and complicated to compete on any level with actual touring bindings. The Duke PT is literally 7x the weight of the lightest binding we tested &#40;and 12x the weight of lightest options on the market!&#41; For all that weight, you might get downhill performance that is 2x the light options. That's tough math to reconcile. Basically, these bindings are for resort &#40;or other mechanized ascent, i.e., helicopter or snowcat&#41; skiing that may involve only short ascents. "Regular" backcountry skiing is best done with regular and much lighter backcountry ski bindings.

 So we have a perfect compromise between downhill performance and releasing safety and uphill capability with the pins. So Max, is this your final solution for the one binding to go up upwards, skiing downhill fast and hard? It is the answer to it, this is the perfect binding, the final binding. It doesn't get any better than this in terms of hybrid free ride bindings. What's the weight of the 12 and the 16? So we have 1150 for the smaller version and then reduced if you take the tow part off you save 300 grams so you are at around 850 uphill and for the 16 version we have 1350 and then a bit over 1 kilogram if you have the tow removed

What about child diseases, bindings coming, some defect in the beginning, are you anticipating that? The good thing is that we took a heel that is trusted in the market so we really had to just think of the tow and then what we did is we combined our knowledge from developing the alpinist tow and the gesture tow and then just combined it. So we didn't really have to come up with a completely new concept so we are just combining the strengths we have already

 War, binding war. This time it's Marker throwing a jab at the Salomon Shift with the new Duke PT, a solid binding up to DIN 16 set up to take you up the mountain as well as downwards in a safe manner. Come have a closer look folks. Hi guys, it's Max from Marker and I'll talk you through about our new Duke PT binding

IS MARKER DUKE PT BETTER THAN SALOMON SHIFT?

 I just toured up in this tech. Binding fully tech - and now I have this really locked down sense of confidence to go rip, and you know it's great. We had soft snow to test it in yeah. There'S some hot spots underneath, but I felt like you know Alpine set up, so I mean I think the big takeaway is, if you're looking for an 80 binding, but you you really really really value strong downhill performance

 This is this is a really really really good option now I think it's important to compare it to other bindings and and what I'm doing in my head is kind of drawing a spectrum from kingpin 13, which is already more binding so to speak. Then then, your traditional text fit in bindings, but if you start up the kingpin 13 and then draw a spectrum going through the shift and then up to this, this Duke PT 16 - that that's the that's how I'm thinking of it. You know the kingpin kind of leans they're. All all three of those bindings are designed to do a little bit of everything

 This chat super easy to take them off and super easy to put them back on to so I don't see any downside to take them off. I'M thinking once you put it like you, take it off. It'S obviously you're like oh wow. This is super simple, like yeah, anybody can do it like

 You can tell somebody on the phone how to do it. You could like yeah many. It'S just easy. It'S really simple

Marker Duke PT Alpine Touring Binding Review

 This makes the binding vulnerable to damage in a “knee fall” while touring (as when you pitch forward with your knee trying to go down on a ski and thus yank the binding plate violently forward). Also, they’re heavy at 47 ounces per binding, and thus a poor choice if you’re serious about climbing and don’t tend to break bindings.

Duke is a “frame” or “plate” binding that uses a carbon plastic structure to connect the toe and heel units, so the whole machine can hinge on a toe pivot and thus provide a walking (ski touring) function. Difference is that the frame is wider, very rigid, and latches in a firm system of slots with many times the engagement area of past bindings with similar design philosophy (genre known as “frame bindings”).

Marker Duke Ski Binding - Review and History - The Backcountry Ski Touring Blog

 It'S actually heavier than then the shift is which makes sense. I think that that royal family heel piece is known to be fairly heavy and it looks like this binding is going to be pretty darn burly, so it is the heaviest so for comparison. A a kingpin. Thirteen comes in at 750 grams per binding

 So if you saw that I apologize, I was a little bit confused because binding companies list their their weights a little bit differently, whether it's per binding or per pair. So our apologies, so the the Duke PT, especially that 16 din-din version, is going to be the heaviest so it'll be interesting to see. If we get significant more or significantly more, you know stomp ability whether it feels feels more secure than the shift when you're, when you're locked in into downhill mode. So those will be all things that will we'll be testing once we get our hands on this binding

 It'S crazy windy out right now, so if we get lights flickering or if we lose lights entirely, I apologize we're not like 50 mile, an hour gusts going on out there there's also a they call it a lock and walk break. I assume this is going to function very similarly to how the shift, how you kind of step it down and lock the break up. I imagine it's going to be very similar to that. Let'S talk about weight so the way that this binding falls in with weight is kind of interesting

 Definitely let us know if you have any questions, we can answer all the questions that were able to and those that were unable to we can reach out to marker. We have good good contacts with marker, so yeah exciting new binding. It'S definitely cool to see this category of bindings grow and expand, and - and we will see you guys on the slopes awfully soon - I'm off to a free ski training camp this afternoon, so yeah we'll be skiing, seeing skiing soon and we'll see you on the slopes. Thanks guys,

 The Marker, however, uses a traditional pin binding toe that doesn't offer the downhill safety or performance of the Shift. The Shift MNC 13 is compatible with all norm boots on the market, offering the ability to use flat alpine, walk to ride, and ISO 9523 touring soles. My boots of choice are the Scarpa Freedom RS with a flex rating of 130. These too lean towards downhill performance

 My boots of choice are the Scarpa Freedom RS with a flex rating of 130. These too lean towards downhill performance. Shifting into downhill mode is very easy with these bindings, though it does require stepping completely out of the binding. I don't consider this a problem, as speed during transition isn't my highest priority

 It's a good idea to pivot the boots to clear any ice from the inserts. Lock the pins into place by pulling back hard on the front throw. I'm not very adept at positioning the pins accurately, and these bindings lack a convenient boot stop, such as that found on the G3 Ion or Marker King pin, so getting the pins engaged reliably can be a bit tricky. Once locked in, however, they provide a foolproof and secure fitting

 After mounting the Shift MNC 13s to a pair of Liberty Variant 97 skis, I was ready to put these bindings to the test. My evaluation consisted of five days in Aspen Snowmass with ample time skiing uphill and down to get a feel for the performance of these bindings. Between dawn control sessions with the dog, following my kids on green and blue groomers, and doing laps at Highlands Bowl, I experienced a variety of snow and terrain throughout the week. Setting up to tour is relatively easy with the Shift binding

 Without the budget or interest in maintaining a quiver of skis for all possible conditions, I was looking to create an all-mountain setup that would serve my particular style of skiing, which is 70% inbounds and 30% backcountry. With no intention of racing uphill or down, my primary objective was to achieve a well-balanced, all-purpose, affordable ski setup that was biased toward downhill performance, reliability, and varied conditions over lightweight, touring-specific, or powder-only use.

Salomon/Atomic Shift MNC 13 Binding Review - First Impressions

 I think this will result in them being mounted about 1/2 CM forward, but other than that will they work?.

 I am looking at some used skis with these bindings, and they are currently setup for 1 mondo size different than I am (they are 1 size larger). I am wondering if I can adjust the heel of the binding to make up for the size difference. I think this will result in them being mounted about 1/2 CM forward, but other than that will they work?.

 This thing does it all. The Warden 13 MNC, multi-norm compatible, in a nice slimming black. All new for 2015, check it out at your local Salomon retailer and keep watching SkiGearTV.

 It'll be able to carve a World Cup race ski, and it'll still be able to ski our X-Drive 8.8 FS. This thing does it all. The Warden 13 MNC, multi-norm compatible, in a nice slimming black

 Hey, this is Chris McCarran with Salomon introducing the new 2015 range with SkiProfitTV, and I have here the all-new Warden 13 MNC. This two-piece Guardian is actually going to work for every single boot norm out there. This thing is compatible. It's a Swiss Army Knife of Binding, so you can use a fully vibram, fully rockered, tech touring boot and still ski a downhill performance ski with this binding

 Nice one-handed move here, you can pull the hike ride switch up with one hand, lock that in, depress the toe, flip this lever back, and you're ready to go skiing again. Just as easy as an alpine binding to step back into. And that's it. See you next time

 When you hit the skin track and you're ready to go, it's very simple. Just pop your boot out, take the hike ride switch, which is found in between the wings of the toe, drop that down, take your pole, push down and open up those pins, step in with your boot when you're ready to go. This is your lock mechanism, so now your toe is completely locked out, and all I'm going to do is take my heel, flip this lever back, and when I take my first step on the skin track, my brakes go right up and I'm ready to skin. When you reach the top of the skin track, push down your lock, step out with your toe
