The flagship models: Griffon, Tour and The Squire

The iconic Marker bindings stand out across the Griffon, Tour and The Squire ranges.

Marker Griffon

The Marker Griffon binding is a globally recognized bestseller in the world of freeride and all-mountain skiing. Designed for skiers who want a robust and high-performance binding both on and off-piste, it combines excellent energy transmission, high DIN safety, and very good grip in demanding terrain. Its wide adjustment range and reliable release make it a safe choice for aggressive riders who attack turns at high speed and explore both groomed slopes and deep powder.

Marker Tour

The Marker Tour binding is designed for alpine touring/freeride enthusiasts seeking a balance between downhill performance and uphill efficiency. It incorporates touring-style inserts and an optimized walk mode, reducing fatigue and facilitating long approaches. On the descent, the Tour maintains the robustness and security comparable to traditional alpine bindings, offering good energy transfer and reliable release. It's a versatile binding perfect for skiers who want to venture off the beaten track while maintaining solid performance on the way back down.

Marker The Squire

The Marker The Squire is a versatile all-mountain binding designed for a wide range of skiers, from intermediate to expert.

The Squire offers reliable safety, user-friendly ergonomics, and a moderate weight, making it a perfect choice for skiers who want a high-performance binding without compromise, but without necessarily aiming for the very demanding levels reserved for pure freeride, as with the Griffon.
