In elite supercars, when aerodynamic loads and lateral G-forces reach extreme values, every suspension component must be oversized to withstand them without unwanted flex. The Marker Duke PT 16 brings this requirement to alpine skiing and extreme freetouring. To tackle the approach ascent, the Ride & Hike Toe allows the alpine toe unit to be folded forward or completely removed and stored in the backpack, reducing ~300 g of moving mass per foot and freeing up a zero-friction Tech pin system for agile, efficient strides.

Upon reaching the top of the line, the alpine toe unit is attached and secured by the magnesium-reinforced Auto Quad Lock quadruple lock, turning the toe piece into a non-deformable block with alpine safety certification. The rear unit features the legendary competition Inter Pivot 3 Freeride Heel in its most robust version, reinforced with a full die-cast magnesium housing that delivers unmatched vertical retention and a wide reserve of dynamic elasticity to absorb big-air landings without unintended releases. Available with either a 100 mm brake (label ref. 7650X1ES) or 125 mm brake, adjustable stainless-steel AFD anti-friction plate, and Sole.ID technology, it offers full compatibility with traditional alpine boots, GripWalk soles, and ISO 9523 touring boots.
