Alpinist Free Marker

MANUFACTURER PRESENTATION

The new Alpinist FREE from MARKER is a remarkable addition to the Touring range, fitting perfectly between the existing models Cruise, introduced during the 23-24 season, and the Alpinist. This binding model is designed to meet the needs of skiers looking for a versatile solution for light freeride, while maintaining the ease of use and lightness necessary for ski touring ascents.

One of the most notable features of the Alpinist FREE is its widened toe piece capacity. This innovation allows for easier entry with freerando boots, thus improving comfort and practicality for the user. This widened toe piece design is particularly beneficial for skiers practicing light freeride, offering better stability and safety during descents.

The Alpinist FREE binding is available with a 105 mm brake, making it compatible with a wide range of freeride skis. This feature ensures excellent versatility and allows skiers to use their favorite skis without compromise. Additionally, the binding is offered in two DIN adjustment variants: 4-10 and 6-13, allowing the resistance of the binding to be adjusted according to the skier’s weight and level, as well as the skiing conditions encountered.

With a claimed weight of only 900 grams per pair, the Alpinist FREE stands out for its lightness, an essential criterion for ski tourers looking to minimize effort during ascents without sacrificing downhill performance. This lightness, combined with other advanced technical features, makes the Alpinist FREE an ideal binding for those seeking a smooth and high-performance ski touring experience.

In conclusion, the new Alpinist FREE from MARKER represents a perfect balance between freeride performance and practicality in touring. Thanks to its innovative design, compatibility with freeride skis, and DIN adjustment options, it meets the diverse needs of modern skiers, offering a reliable and versatile solution for all their mountain adventures.
