Integrated Stainless Steel Gliding AFD- Unlike plastic or Teflon™, the performance of Marker’s Integrated Stainless Steel Gliding AFD is virtually unaffected by dirty or worn boot soles, negative sliding friction, outdoor temperature variations, combined-load backward-twisting falls or the downward weight of the skier on the AFD. EPS (Edge Pressure System)- Directing the energy out over the edge of the ski, EPS distributes the pressure to the ski in a more even force between the toe and heel.

Piston Control- Located in the center of the interface, the integrated hydraulic oil piston provides the ultimate control between the boot, binding and ski. It effectively eliminates negative vibrations and oscillations during the counter-flex of the ski. The ski is quiet, smooth and distortion-free.

Twincam heel- The two-piece Twincam Heel is designed with a unique soft-entry feature, resulting in a quick and easy step-in system even in difficult snow conditions.

Biometric Programmed Upward Release- No other binding works like Biometric. During a backward-twisting fall the Biometric Channels unalign, immediately reducing the upward release force by 25% to 50%, depending on the skier’s settings. Mechanically Operating Toe Cups- Marker’s unique Total Contact Design allows the toe cups and AFD to work together to respond to the complex dynamics of backward twisting or forward twisting combined-load falls. When the Mechanical Toe Cups open, the remaining binding force drops instantly, allowing the boot to exit the system immediately.

Comshock Piston- The Comshock Piston is designed to efficiently absorb short duration shocks. Energy transfer and performance are enhanced, allowing skiers to keep their weight balanced over the ski.
