The updated Kingpin ensures that Marker continue to rule the pin market with the kind of downhill performance and ski control that BC skiers dream of. The new two spring toe is based on the successful Alpinist technology and saves 80g per toe without losing any of the strong grip of the boot or energy absorption. The XXL Power Transmitter on the heel provides highly direct energy transfer thanks to its wide contact points. Walking feels very natural and the binding is easy to operate, even when clicked in. The heel design allows for length compensation, preventing unintended release or affecting ski flex.OverviewBinding TypeBackcountry PinCertBoot Compatibility PinCert.
