Marker Griffon Ski Bindings

You don't need these for your skis, they are the hyped new binding to get but IMO over rated and not even proven to be reliable. return them and get either the look px12 or dynastar px12 jib there virtually the same binding and designed for that ski and freestyle sking and if you look around you can save yourself some money.

mainly other than the DIN the griffon is lighter. if you plan on hiking a lot and you don't need a DIN of 13-16, the griffin is perfect. it has 3 screws as well. this is a great binding though, if you are a smaller guy or not as aggressive, this binding would be perfect.

Sounds like you need more than one pair of skis/binders for your different pursuits.

Jesters are stronger, but heavier.

If you have never seen the new griffin binding, it is a lighter version of the jester, It has a lot of plastic in it, one reason it is so light. also the toe piece is held on with only 2 screws. If i was you i would get the jesters or look at salomon STH 14 or 16 or look-rossie line.

Ya I have some skis that are 98 under foot and the brakes are 90. You can just bend them it will work fine.

i dont think the toe height is adjustable on the binding. but you could mount it to a fat ski you may have to get wide breaks but its do able

The din is a measure that is constant through the entire industry. It is based on skier weight, ability and most affected by the length of ones boot sole. a larger boot requires a lower din than a smaller boot to release properly. With that said rather than cranking the DIN you can adjust the forward pressure a bit to create a tighter fit. By raising the Din you only make sure that the boot will not release properly. A higher Din binding will have stiffer springs allowing for a more accurate release. if you are over the age of 12 look for a 14 DIN.

I do not know what non super aggressive means if this means, however this binding should be good to go.

I think you should go with the jester might be more money but you will thank me when your jesters are still intact after 3 or 4 years. 215 pounds is to much for the griffons one hard reck could destroy them.

Either one should be fine... You will be able to set the dim on the Griffon to keep you in. I know a few skiers who are 170-200lbs and are pretty aggressive and they don't have a problem with this binding.

freakin awesome

90 will definitely be fine

no. but bending brakes isn't to tough. You can do it by hand. . . . unless your a girly man. Your not are you?

Or if you are a girly man you might be able to find a pair of wider pair for sale online.

Yes, you just need to make sure you get the 110mm brake.

This is a new version of the Marker Jester ski binding which, last year, was the first ever truly park specific ski binding. While other companies would offer "jib" bindings, they were no different then other bindings except for maybe a rubber vibration absorption plate.

The Griffon is different then the Jester in that it has a smaller spring to accommodate lighter skiers who require a smaller DIN.

For park and freestyle riding the Griffon is flat (no incline ramp) so skiing backwards is more natural. It also has a wider platform for bigger skis and for smoother landings. It will definitely "hold up" in the park.
