Description
Marker Kingpin 10 2027
Marker's Kingpin redefined free-rando binding performance when it was 1st introduced in 2015. Relatively light, torsionally stiff and easy to use, the Kingpin rapidly became one of the most popular free-rando bindings.
Alpine touring binding performance improves every winter, with new bindings that are ever lighter, more ergonomic, with more precise downhill control. For 2027, Marker have updated the toe piece with their ISI 'Instant Step-In" design, with a wider step-in platform for the boot and enlarged contact area for the boot sole when stepping in. The boot toe is positioned correctly by a rubber stop so that the boot toe clicks into place intuitively faster and with less effort.
Features
Features Marker Kingpin 10:
ISI Instant Step-In
The toe piece has a wider step-in platform for the boot and enlarged contact area for the boot sole when stepping in. The boot toe is positioned correctly by a rubber stop so that the boot toe clicks into place intuitively faster and with less effort.
Heel Unit
The Kingpin's heel unit has a wide platform to deliver the efficient power transfer to the skis more often seen in alpine bindings.
The Kingpin heel does not use "pins" to connect to the ski boot heel, but Marker's circular XXL Power Transmitter wheels that securely clamp down and automatically centre the boot heel while also providing minimal friction during boot release.
The Kingpin 10 has a release range of 5-10 DIN and like most free-rando bindings both lateral and vertical release are individually adjustable. The climbing aid offers two positions with 7° and 13° lift and is easy to adjust with a ski pole.
Elastomer pads on the climbing heel dampen the impact and reduce that irritating “clack” sound to make climbing more comfortable. The Kinpin heel unit has 25 mm (+12.5 mm / -12.5 mm) boot sole length adjustment.
Ski crampons are available as options for the Kingpin bindings in a choice of 4 widths: 80mm, 90mm, 105mm, 120mm
Available with a choice of two ski brake widths, 75-100 and 100-125 mm, the Kingpin 10 weighs only 695 g per ski (75-100 mm ski brakes).
The Marker Kingpin 10 offers excellent control, comfortable climbing and reliable release.
