Marker Kingpin 10 binding: safety and reasonable weight

The Marker Kingpin 10 is the first pin binding to meet the DIN ISO 13992 : 2007 standard from German organisation TÜV. This testament of its quality and safety means you can go on freetouring sessions with confidence. This model is available with various brake widths to adapt to skis with various waist widths. The specificity of the Marker Kingpin lies in its heel piece that guarantees excellent power transfer when turning. The Marker Kingpin offers the responsiveness you need for freeriding. Of course, this ski touring binding also performs in the climbs. It’s very easy to switch from skiing to touring mode, the heel lifts make your progression easier on steeper gradients.

Marker Kingpin Crampons: grip in any situation

When ski touring, you can encounter hard snow and steep slopes. In these situations, climbing skins may prove insufficient to keep going. This is when crampons are useful. The Marker Pintech is the model compatible with Kingpin bindings. Available in a range of widths to find the version adapted to the width of your skis, it allows to reach the top of your next run when skins found their limitations.

Marker Pintech crampons for bindings are lightweight to keep your backpack light. It’s essential to always pack them to be ready for any situation. Marker Pintechs are easy to instal, allowing you to react quickly if the snow conditions change or the gradient increases.

Review of the Marker Kingpin range

Marker Kingpin 10, Kingpin 13, and Kingpin Mwerks 12, are ultra-efficient. The base model, the Kingpin 10, offers a DIN range that goes from 5 to 10 for a weight of 1390 grams a pair. The Kingpin 13 version allows a DIN setting that ranges between 6 and 13 for even more descending performance if you ski powerfully or your body weight requires it.

The Kingpin Mwerks 12 features carbon reinforced front/heel pieces and sliding plate to be lighter (1310 grams a pair). Its DIN range goes from 5 to 12, offering performance and safety for most skiers. Its heel lift system has two positions (7° and 13°) for a more natural posture according to the slope. In addition, elastomer pads cushion impacts and noise in the ascents, for a more pleasant mountain experience.

The Marker Kingpin ski touring bindings are aimed at skiers seeking descending performance while being able to reach summits by leg power. To do so, these hybrid bindings combine elements from Low Tech and traditional alpine bindings. They guarantee your safety and fun for memorable freetouring sessions. The Low Tech pin front piece allows the binding to be light for efficient climbs. The heel piece is closer to the one of an alpine model and guarantees reliable release in case of a fall, for your safety and your knees. As a hybrid Low Tech binding, the Marker Kingpin offers the best of both worlds with an excellent safety, performance, and weight ratio. An ideal binding to climb peaks before skiing down for unforgettable runs. Freetouring enthusiasts and freeriders eager to discover spots inaccessible from the lifts will be satisfied.

Marker Kingpin or Alpinist ski touring bindings?

The Kingpin and Alpinist backcountry skiing bindings belong in different categories. The Kingpin is a freetouring binding with a hybrid interface, while the Alpinist is a Low Tech pin binding. The Kingpin is heavier but offers better descending performance. Depending on the version, the Alpinist weighs around 500 grams. The Alpinist is focused on lightness for maximum climbing performance.

Two binding ranges for two distinct ski touring philosophies. If you’re looking for climbing performance, the Alpinist is the best suited. Its light weight guarantees optimal efficiency during the skinning phase. On the other hand, if you’re seeking performance and safety in the descents, for technical freeride runs, it’s the Kingpin you need. Its heel piece guarantees excellent power transfer to the ski.
