The toe wings on the Alpinist are shorter requiring more effort to leverage the open therefore only two spring suffice vs 6 for the same retention on the Kingpin toe.
The Alpinist toe also uses carbon reinforced plastics to give the same strength as metal with less weight.
If you watch the attached video, Marker also claims they used the same formula in the heel plastics and replaced many metal components with lighter titanium.
The result is z binding with the same weight as the Dynafit Rotation/Radical 2 with superior power transmission of the Kingpin heel.
The only thing that stopped me from mounting Kingpins on my latest touring skis was the extra 400-500 grams weight over Techton/Radical 2. If the new lighter M Werks version had been available now, I would have purchased it and I believe that is why Marker is marketing it, to catch the market share they are losing to buyers who want lighter weight freeride tech bindings.

So the binding that keeps breaking is getting even lighter?
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

TLDR; Ski faster. Quit breathing. Don't crash.

Anyone familiar with Black Crows seen anything coming out birdie ski line with a wider full rocker flat underfoot - ala Corvus birdie?
On Corvus 193; is it a beefy bump up or same build as 188 with length?Last edited by CascadeLuke; 02-05-2019 at 06:50 PM.

It's horrible that I want that shoe simply because it says Lange on it. But that's why I want it. Take that name away and I likely wouldn't even notice the shoe in the wild. It's like a must-have at this point.

Ze Pindung ready for launch in the fall. Retail 499 Euro. DIN 5-14. Adjustable brake width. 1.3 kg per unit. Why is it not red?

Nice to finally see a finished product!
Is it really an adjustable brake width? I wonder how that works. For use with inserts for different skis that would be extremely useful.
Apart from that, it will need to be really bomb proof and free from pre-release issues to justify that weight.

anyone have any info on the new Kastle FX range for 19/20? Saw a terrible Instagram story from ISPO Munich and looked like more options.. maybe wider ones above the 95 HP... maybe even taking over from the BMX range?

BMX goes away, four widths in the FX line now. 86/96/106/116. Not sure if they all have HP versions. I need a mid and was curious what the FX 96 would look like. Bash guard is a plus for me. Not feeling that top sheet yet. Curious about weight because it looks like it should be lighter, despite the slight width increase.

I just read deeper into that Kastle thread and it seems like the FX96 HP and FX106 HP will be the only HP versions, and offered exclusively as HP. However... if the commenters are correct, the HP designation now means carbon and not metal.
Where's my torch?
