New for the 2007-8 winter season.
The Duke is a full Freeride binding for
the modern strong freeride skier.
It is a binding that has excellent capability
for strong aggressive freeriders with a touring capability. This binding is
not suited to longer ski tours due to its weight, but for short hikes followed
by aggressive descents it is perfect.
To switch from touring mode to ride
mode, a rider must take the ski off, pop up the underfoot lever, then put the
ski back on. This system guarantees the binding cannot inadvertently go into touring
mode whilst in downhill mode.
This binding is only recommended for people
who will use a DIN of around 9 plus. In other words, it is recommended for either
average weight skiers who are extremely strong and talented, or heavier skiers
who are still strong skiers. If you don't fit in this category then we recommend
you look at the Diarmir Freeride binding, which is much lighter but still strong
enough for you.
We only have the Large version of this binding. It fits
boot soles from 305-370mm. That is about UK size 8-14.
If you have a smaller
boot size then please call us to see if we can get stock for you.
