the dark-light closeup teaser seems to be the trend this year hey? Shift. Marker.

Those dark ads are annoying.

The words Marker, light, and plastic, make me as nervous as marker, full, and spectrum

**nyskirat** · 01-09-2018, 07:36 AM

When is the embargo set to be lifted?

A lot of AT binding fappage going on these days.

In this one you can "sort of" make out the toe and heel..

I thought I saw something that looks like the kingpin toe.

These will definitely be a "wait 2 seasons to see if anyone loses a leg" binding.

**mall walker** · 01-09-2018, 09:16 AM

"super duper light" in marker terms still probably means 500g/binding

**adrenalated** · 01-09-2018, 09:22 AM

Those Instagram videos are beyond useless.

245g/binding (w/o brakes), not including the spare binding you'll want to carry your pack.

How long until this is offered as system binding on the BMT skis so you have to buy it and can't mount anything else?

**nyskirat** · 01-09-2018, 01:09 PM

Meh is right.

It looks like a plastic version of the Mtn Lab binding.

Looks like there is some adjustment for the DIN, I can't see the top numbers cuz its hidden behind the heel lifter but it looks like something-12 ?

$600+ CAD barely 250g, another Dentist binding, just like the Salomon MTN.

Honestly, a system pin binding would be pretty neat, even if it added a tiny bit of weight. Especially if it meant getting the heel lower to the ski and cutting down ramp angle.

**dunfree** · 01-09-2018, 04:05 PM

Are the not really hooks behind the toepiece for ski crampons, or brakes?

it looks not much different from all the lightweight dynafit derivatives that have been around for over a decade.

I'm a big fan of reduced stack height. It's perhaps the parameter I'm most sensitive to - even more than ramp angle. I wouldn't vote for a "system binding" if given a choice however, because I do too much fiddling around with ski and binding swaps as I re-purpose skis (for example) from lift riding to touring.

Of course, I would never think of re-purposing a BMT 109 for inbounds, but I can visualize pulling an available touring binding to mount on a ski I might want to split time between deep (inbounds) powder and touring.
