Technology & Construction
Comp TCX Heel
The next evolution of Marker’s TwinCam heel, the Comp TCX Heel delivers increased power, higher elasticity, and a more progressive release curve. A wider 43 mm heel rail improves boot-to-ski connection, keeping you engaged longer for precise control—even under high loads and steep terrain.
TwinCam Competition Heel
The TwinCam Competition Heel is a proven World Cup design known for its stability, retention, and reliability. It delivers consistent performance under extreme forces, making it a trusted choice for elite racers.
TCX Light Heel
Built on the same kinematics as the TwinCam system, the TCX Light Heel offers strong power transfer with lower step-in force. It maintains precise boot connection while providing a smoother, more user-friendly entry for lighter and developing racers.
Compact 3 Heel
The latest generation of Marker’s Compact 3 Heel combines lightweight design with reliable release performance. It’s optimized for younger and lighter skiers, delivering consistent function, easy handling, and dependable retention.
TLT (2-Linkage) Toe
The TLT toe system is a lightweight, two-linkage design that provides full lateral and vertical release. It improves DIN range and maintains reliable performance without adding weight or bulk.
Comp Toe
The Comp Toe features a one-piece construction with high-quality materials for strong power transfer and shock absorption. Its design supports smooth ski flex and delivers consistent, race-ready performance.
Competition 4-Linkage Toe
The Competition 4-Linkage Toe is built for maximum race performance. With a high metal content, it delivers strong retention, precise release, and consistent power transmission in demanding race conditions.
AFD Gliding Plate
Marker bindings use a movable AFD (Anti-Friction Device) to ensure smooth, consistent release. It minimizes interference from snow, ice, and debris while allowing fine-tuning for different applications and skier types.
Magnesium Construction
Magnesium components provide an ideal balance of low weight and high strength. This construction improves responsiveness, durability, and overall performance for high-speed racing.
