The Marker Griffon has been one of the most trusted and widely used bindings in skiing for nearly two decades. For 2027, Marker introduces the Griffon X, the fourth generation of the design and the biggest update we've seen to the platform in years. The headline change is Marker’s new X platform, which lowers the skier's stand height by 9mm compared to the previous Griffon ID. That makes the Griffon X one of the lowest-standing alpine bindings on the market. The result is a more connected feel to the ski and snow, quicker edge engagement, and a smoother, more intuitive ride. You feel less like you're standing on top of your skis and more like you're standing in them. Marker first introduced this platform on the premium M-Werks bindings, which utilized magnesium toe wings and heel brackets to maximize power and strength while minimizing weight. The Griffon X brings the same low-profile geometry and skiing characteristics to a more accessible package, utilizing composite toe wings and heel brackets that keep weight down while maintaining the durability the Griffon is known for. Longtime Griffon users will still recognize many of the features that made the binding famous. The proven Inter Pivot heel delivers strong retention and consistent release characteristics, while the anti-ice rail makes clearing snow from your boot sole quick and easy before stepping in. Whether you're skiing all-mountain, freeride, freestyle, or simply looking for one of the most reliable and best-skiing bindings available, the Griffon X builds on everything that made the original great while delivering a noticeably smoother and more connected experience on snow.
