Duke Brings the BEEF

By JOHN GILCHRIST March 20, 2009

The Marker Duke Ski Binding is Bomber. I love and hate the fact that the lever to switch over from AT/SKI mode is under the boot and won't accidently flip to an undesired position. But this allso makes it so you have to get out of your skis all the way to switch modes. The flip can be kind of difficult if you have lost all feeling in your fingers or have bulky gloves on. They have toughed it out alot better than I have thought and have only seen a problem with the front screw plate, the one that connects the bindings to the skis, craking, likely to the skrews being to tight, it was still able to be ridding out though just not in AT mode and backcountry.com hooked it up with a brand new pair no questions asked. They are the heaviest things out there but if you want a reliable predictable binding with a hudge din then you want the Marker Dukes if you don't need all the Din and want the same sweet features go with the Marker Barons. You can deffinitly feel the weight diffrence between the dukes and the Black Diamond Freerides when Skining.
