The other opinion

By KC Deane Ranked #45 - Alpine Touring Bindings October 23, 2011

So I have been on the Dukes for the past 2 seasons. Although the binding has ease of use for touring, personally I have found that it doesnt make up for all the issues I have had with the binding. For one, the binding stiffens the flex of the ski which isn't what I am looking for in a binding, I want the ski to be able to flex just as it was designed. My other issue I have had with the Duke is the afd plate. Or the toe plate. I have broken so many of those, to the point I went back to BCA Trekkers. I would rather deal with the few frustrations of the trekker, and be able to ski a real binding. I am in the minority I am sure, but def had my fair share of issues with this binding.
