Early Rise™ – Tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack.

Rocker Profile – 12mm Tip / 4mm Camber / 6mm Tail

Directional Flex™ – The softer tip floats and initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability and high speed control.

5-Cut™ – Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.

Early Taper™ – The widest part of the sidecut begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail which reduces tail hook ups in powder.

Thin Tip™ – Super thin core & sidewall in the tips are 100 grams lighter per pair for reduced swing weight & tip bounce.

Aspenlite™ – 100% Aspen wood for the lightest, most nimble feel.

Carbon Magic Fingers™ – A wide array of carbon stretching from tip to tail for added stability without sacrificing weight.

Capwall™ – Combining the precision of sidewall underfoot and the lightweight, durable performance of cap in the tip, Capwall™ construction provides the best of both worlds.

Sintered 1.3 mm Base – Sintered bases reduce friction against the snow allowing for more speed, and more durability due to the high-density material they're crafted from.

2.1 mm x 2 mm

Hardcap TPU

Recommended Stance Back from Center – 71.7 mm

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Kingpin Toe – The PinTech design on the KingPin toe piece promotes an ergonomic rolling up the foot and the most direct possible connection to the ski. Six steel springs capture the energy optimally, up to a DIN setting of 13. Individually adjustable positioning blocks make it quick and easy to step in no matter what the conditions.

Updated Toe – These bindings have updated toe pieces from Marker and are not affected by the August, 2018 recall.

Kingpin Heel – The revolutionary heel construction for the PinTech bindings features wide sole contact points to deliver the kind of direct, lossless power transfer more frequently seen in alpine bindings.

Kingpin Climbing Aid | 0° / 7° / 13° – Good climbing aids have one thing in common: Whatever the situation, they can be operated by feel, even when the skier can't see them clearly. Simplicity is a virtue here, and reduced exertion is even better. The KINGPIN wins hearts and minds through two integrated climbing aids (7° and 13°) that are easily deployed or stowed using the basket of the pole. They can also be operated conveniently using the tip of the pole, allowing them to work with any basket style. Because the climbing aids are positioned in the upper center of the heel piece, they are always easy to reach.

Walk / Ski Modes – The refined locking/unlocking procedure for the heel piece is part of the binding's charm. It takes just one step to switch from walk to ski mode: Simply flip a lever, push down on the heel and you're good to go. The mechanism works even in critical situations and challenging descents.

One Size Fits All – Boots with tech toe fittings are required.

TÜV Certified to ISO/DIN 13992:2007 – The Marker Kingpin is one of only a few tech touring bindings to have passed the ISO/DIN 13992 standard.

Stand Height – 21 mm

Recommended Skier Weight – 130+ lbs

Crampon Compatible – 80, 90, 105, and 120 mm versions available separately.

Two Brake Sizes – 75-100 mm and 100-125 mm

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Last: 98 mm – A narrow and low volume touring last.

Memory Fit – Advanced heat-fitting technology creates a fully personalized shell, cuff and liner in minutes. The key is Memolink, Atomic's special additive that improves the moldability and stretch of their plastics. Expansion can be up to 6mm forefoot width and up to 10mm ankle width, resulting in a permanent and complete anatomical fit in minutes. See your bootfitter for details.

Flex: 120 – A stiff flex for a powerful and responsive feel, suitable for expert skiers.

True Flex – This Atomic-exclusive shell material provides the same flex in a wide variety of temperatures so your boot won't feel too stiff in the winter or lose power in the spring.

Mimic Platinum Liner with Touring Flex Zone – This is a boot that feels right from the very start. The heel, ankle, and tongue feature a layer of supportive, heat-moldable material. After being softened in the oven, this material mimics the precise shape of your foot and hardens for a perfect custom fit.

Prolite – Instead of starting with a standard construction and cutting material away to save weight, Prolite does the opposite. It starts with the slimmest possible profile and then builds up reinforcements in key areas where strength is needed - like the Energy Backbone down each boot spine.

Energy Backbone – A reinforced, asymmetric backbone providing extra strength for powerful skiing plus enhanced lateral energy transmission for better edge grip.
