The legendary freeride binding that started it all is finally refreshed. While the Griffon 13 has long been the standard-bearer for modern freeride skiing, the added features and improvements only make it better. We've sold more bindings than any other product in the last five to ten years, and skiers love them. They have consistent release values, fit most skis perfectly, offer a wide variety of brake widths, and started the wider-platform binding revolution. Plus, they retain the ability to increase the toe height, allowing the binding to accommodate a variety of boot sole standards. Most of the improvement is in the heel. If there's one criticism of the Griffon, it's that it was difficult to enter and exit. With the Inter Pivot 3 heel, that problem no longer exists. These new Griffons have a satisfying click when you step into the boot and are much easier to step out of, whether you're using your pole or the base of your ski. Regardless, the biggest problem has been solved, and you're left with the same type of high-performance binding that accepts many different boot crampons and brake widths. Bindings act like a steering wheel for skiing, and they're the only piece of equipment that attaches your skis to your boots, so the connection better be tight. The improved Marker Griffon 13 offers everything you need from an alpine binding.
