Details With a DIN setting up 13, the Marker Baron has earned its stripes as a favorite amongst big mountain, backcountry enthusiasts who look for a binding including walking option and climbing aid. Within the update of the Royal Family, the Baron with Extended Power Frame (EPF) now comes with new Triple Pivot toe and Interpivot 3 freeride heel for improved power transmission and edge grip. With its extra-wide connection to the ski, gives it the structure needed to power today's wider skis through any snow conditions. The new Anti Ice Rail is pretty handy to scrape off snow and ice from the boot sole. In addition the Baron 13 EPF also comes with Sole.ID to fit all alpine an touring boots. Construction Hollow Tech: Marker's fibre-reinforced frame base plate provides impressive riding stability and is yet very light due to the gas injected hollow construction. EPF - Extended Power Frame: The power booster. The power frame delivers breath-taking performance and amazing power transfer in every condition. Recommended for skis over 88 mm. Triple Pivot Elite Toe: The toe construction with DIN/ISO up to Z 18 allows for impressive retention when freeriding. The spring in the toe is inserted horizontally and with a sole plate inclined by 5 it provides the higher energy absorption so as to reduce the risk of early release. The large supporting surface optimizes the power transmission and allows for great stresses and strains. In relation to their weight, toes with this technology therefore achieve a never-seen-before performance. Inter Pivot 3 Heel: The third and newest generation completely redone: improved power transmission, energy absorption and vertical heel elasticity combined with an improved step in comfort. Details AFD Gliding Plate: bindings are equipped with a moveable AFD (anti friction device) supporting a precise release almost entirely unhindered by dirt, snow and ice! Individual adjustment of the AFD to the area of application enhance optimized functionality - from racing, for children's bindings or on ski tours. SOLE.ID: Height-adjustable gliding plate to be compatible with alpine (ISO 5355), touring (ISO 9523) and GripWalk soles. Easy to adjust: pozi screw at the front to adjust height of gliding plate. Climbing Frame Aids: The climbing aid offers two positions with 7 and 13 which can easily be accessed with the ski pole, even in an unstable standing position. Integrated elastomer padding dampen the impact reducing the irritating traditional "clack" and allow more comfortable hiking.
