With a DIN setting up to 13, the Baron has earned its stripes as a favourite amongst big mountain, backcountry enthusiasts who look for a binding with a walking option and climbing aid. As part of the update of the Royal Family (2021), the Baron with Extended Power Frame (EPF) now comes with Triple Pivot toe and Interpivot 3 freeride heel for improved power transmission and edge grip. Its extra-wide connection to the ski gives it the structure needed to power today’s wider skis through any snow conditions. The Anti Ice Rail is useful for scraping snow and ice off the boot sole. The Baron 13 EPF also comes with Multinorm to fit alpine, touring and GripWalk boots. Size: L: 305 - 365 mm Din/ISO Range: 4.0 - 13.0 Boot type: Adult, standard Alpine, GripWalk Adult, Touring Boots Recom. Skier's Weight: under 120 kg Stand height w/o ski: 36 mm Toe System: Triple Pivot Elite 3 Step-in Heel: Inter Pivot 3 Heel adjustment range: 60 mm Walking modes: 0°, 7°, 13° AFD Gliding Plate: Stainless steel ANTI ICE RAIL: Use the metal rail to scratch off ice and snow below your boot sole. HOLLOW TECH: Marker's fibre-reinforced frame base plate provides impressive riding stability and is yet very light due to the gas injected hollow construction. EPF - EXTENDED POWER FRAME: The power booster. The power frame delivers breath-taking performance and amazing power transfer in every condition. Recommended for skis over 88 mm. CLIMBING AIDS FRAME TOUR: The climbing aid offers two positions with 7° and 13° which can easily be accessed with the ski pole, even in an unstable standing position. Integrated elastomer paddings dampen the impact reducing the irritating traditional “clack” and allow more comfortable hiking. TRIPLE PIVOT ELITE TOE: The toe construction with DIN/ISO up to Z 18 allows for impressive retention when freeriding. The spring in the toe is inserted horizontally and with a sole plate inclined by 5° it provides the higher energy absorption so as to reduce the risk of early release. The large supporting surface optimizes the power transmission and allows for great stresses and strains. In relation to their weight, toes with this technology therefore achieve a never-seen-before performance. INTER PIVOT 3 FREERIDE HEEL: The third and newest generation completely redone: improved power transimission, energy absorption and vertical heel elasticity combined with an improved step in comfort. AFD GLIDING PLATE: MARKER bindings are equipped with a moveable AFD (anti friction device) supporting a precise release almost entirely unhindered by dirt, snow and ice! Individual adjustment of the AFD to the area of application enhance optimized functionality - for racing, for children’s bindings or on ski tours. MULTINORME (SOLE.ID): - Height-adjustable gliding plate to be compatible with all boot soles on the market - Compatible with: Alpine (ISO 5355 A), Touring (ISO 9523) and GripWalk (ISO 23223 A) soles - Easy to adjust: Pozi screw at the front to adjust height of gliding plate
