The Griffon has been the default choice for freeride skiers for years now — the binding you buy when you just want something that works, every time, without drama. The Griffon X takes that reputation and rebuilds it from the ground up. The headline change is how low it sits. At 9mm at the toe and 14mm at the heel, it's about as close to the ski as a binding gets, which means less leverage lost between your boot and the edge, and a more direct, connected feel through every turn. Marker also trimmed the footprint, shrinking the mount zone so the ski underneath keeps more of its natural flex instead of getting stiffened up by a long binding plate. Underneath the redesign, it's still built like a Griffon: tough, dependable, and ready for whatever terrain you point it at. A mix of lightweight composite housing and magnesium reinforcement keeps weight in check without giving up the durability the Griffon name is known for, and the mechanism has been reworked to be easier to step into on cold, awkward mornings when nobody wants to fight their bindings. With a DIN range of 4–13, the Griffon X is right at home under aggressive all-mountain and freeride setups — skiers who want a binding that disappears underfoot and lets the ski do the talking.
