We think about tomorrow! The Cruise is mostly made from bio-based and recycled plastics, without compromising on quality and performance. This reduces waste and carbon emissions compared to the conventional manufacturing process. And when it comes to skiing qualities: Keep it easy for maximum fun! The new MARKER Cruise weighing just 475g per binding (including brakes) allows an incredibly simple, comfortable, and modern entry into the world of ski touring. The pin binding comes with a number of outstanding features that make life easier for touring newcomers. The ISI toe piece and heel piece noticeably reduce the effort required to step in. The heel is particularly easy to operate and features a color-coded climbing aid for comfortable climbing at 0°, 8°, and 12°. The ergonomic design allows the heel piece to be rotated easily through 180° while the brake is automatically locked. This makes switching from hike mode to ski mode and back again quick and easy. The independent adjustment of vertical and horizontal release also further reduces the risk of false release during descent. ACTIVE LENGTH COMPENSATION - Active length compensation in the heel allowing the heel to move back up to 7mm when the ski is flexed. CLIMBING AIDS - Thanks to the climbing aids, walking uphill is comfortable. They can be operated quickly and easily in any situation thanks to their design with the pole baskets. The color-coded heel lifts enable three climb modes (0°, 8° and 12°). ISI TOE - The ISI toe ensures that you'll be able to get in and out of the toe really quickly and easily. BIO-BASED PLASTICS - Bio-based plastics are used in components with maximum mechanical load. They have the same mechanical properties as conventional plastics, have a lower CO2 footprint and do not consume fossil resources such as oil or natural gas. The bio-based plastics are used, for example, for the climbing aids and the toe. RECYCLED MATERIALS - Recycled plastics have the best environmental footprint and reduce waste at the same time. To meet our high quality and safety standards, we have pursued a consistent Design for Sustainability approach. The material is used for components under less stress, and the component geometries have been specially designed for the properties of recycled plastic Marker Cruise 12 Ski Bindings 2024
