Marker Baron 13 Ski Bindings - 2012 Marker Baron Bindings
Featuring the same revolutionary toe and heel design as the Marker Duke, but with a 4-13 DIN range and a lighter weight construction that shaves 150 grams of weight, about 1/3 of a pound less than the Duke. The Marker Baron binding is suited for lighter-weight big mountain skiers who want the performance of the triple-pivot toe and inter-pivot heel.
Power-Width-Design for maximum power transmission. - Marker engineers invented power-width to give our new freeskiing bindings the ultimate power transmission for today's wide skis. NO OTHER BINDING creates as much power and control. Prior to the Duke and Jester, the only technology to accommodate wide skis was making wide brakes. The attachment for Royal Family bindings features a wide bracket that was built on a 76mm minimum ski width. Previous designs had been based on a 63mm ski width.
BCT Back Country Technology. - BCT / Ski lever protected under foot to prevent inadvertent opening in ski mode. The unique mobility feature moves the skier's center of mass 30mm backward in BC mode - resulting in a better balanced ski swing weight and easier kick-turns.
Hiking aid with 5° & 10° positions. Stand height lowest of all "frame" AT models with 32 mm toe & 34 mm heel
Triple Pivot Elite Toe & Inter-Pivot Heel.- 5 sole holder angle (Biometric Pro is 15°; standard Biotech is 30°; and Biometric WC is 0°). High energy absorption to prevent pre-release.

Alpine winter sports as we know them today were still very much in their infancy some 50 years ago. Sports journalist and ski instructor Hannes Marker, concerned by injuries suffered by his eager students and other inexperienced skiers on the slopes of the Bavarian Alps, resolved to lessen the sports inherent risks. And in so doing, he founded the company MARKER. Marker determined that inadequately responsive skiing equipment represented the single biggest cause of injuries. His perfectionist, problem-solving approach and commitment to arduous work paid off. He successfully developed a technique whereby the skiers leg would automatically free itself from the toe-piece on a ski board once the pressure on the knee reached a critical point. At the 1952 Sporting Goods Trade Fair in Wiesbaden, it was with enormous pride in his own ingenuity that Hannes Marker presented his new binding the MARKER DUPLEX. The occasion marked the beginning of a new era in winter sports an era characterized by radical new developments in binding technologies and the ever-increasing popularity of skiing as both a professional sport and a recreational pastime.
