For the 12 DIN junior racer, or the lighter adult looking for a lower-DIN race binding, the Marker Race XComp 12 bindings are the perfect choice. Lighter than the higher value bindings, but no less effective, these bindings are perfect for emerging racers looking to make the leap to the next level in the crazy world of ski racing. When you’re at the top of the course, getting ready for your run, there’s a lot of things that can be going through your head. Whether or not you’re on the right gear or not should not be one of them—those thoughts should have been taken care of long ago. This is where the Marker Race XComp 12 bindings come in to play, these things are just plain awesome. With an XComp toe piece with a piston dampener, these bindings offer a ton of performance in the race world and beyond. Built like a Ferrari, these things are cool looking, with kind of an exposed frame style build. The TCX heel is both effective and efficient, being easy to step in and get out of, as well as holding the skier in to the proper release values. With a DIN range of 4-12, these bindings are perfect for skiers under 120 kg, which offers a huge range of skier type and size. The 15 mm stand height keeps you lower to the ski, and as these are often to be paired with a race or lifter plate of some kind, they won’t jack you up too much, keeping things compliant as well as performance-oriented.
