iPT WIDERIDE
Driven by a quest for performance - particularly in the growing mid fat category, Marker and Völkl developed the world’s first integrated ski binding system for skis over 80 mm. Like the proven and successful iPT system (Internal Power Technology), the iPT Wideride consists of a ski attachment built within the skis structure and a binding which engages the attachment securely and efficiently. In order to meet our internal and market demands for performance for this category, we developed a completely new binding and attachment with major feature milestones: 30% wider than conventional bindings, power transfer is clearly better and more direct. 11% lower than conventional binding systems allows for greater safety due to a lower stand height. And with approximately 20% lower weight as compared to conventional binding systems, the complete system skis with more agility and an unprecedented nimbleness for mid fat skis.
iPT MOTION
The fully integrated iPT Motion ski binding system from MARKER und VÖLKL was created for the most demanding conditions. The prize-winning development with “Internal Power Technology” delivers precise edge control, maximum stability at speed, and nimble responsiveness. The interface between the ski and the binding is completely integrated within the ski. The result: maximum contact surface and optimum impulse transfer from the ski boot to the ski along the entire length of the ski. The high-tech system forms a unit with the Double GripXTD construction and is used in each of the speed-oriented, top-end models in the VÖLKL Alpine ski ranges.
3MOTION
The 3Motion ski binding system embodies free flex, improved edge grip with excellent safety and outstanding sports performance. It was developed as an integral part of the Powergrip construction where the rails are interrupted in the middle of the ski in order to accommodate the binding and provide a softer flex. The front and heel fittings are mounted from above with no screws, so the binding is fixed at four contact points immediately above the edges and at a wide point on the ski. The direct connection improves the transfer of power to the edges and the system allows the skier to flex into the ski’s radius with less energy or force. In the 2008/09 season, MARKER and VÖLKL are introducing 3Motion Jr. version based on the same design principals.
MOTION LT
The enhanced binding system is special because of its targeted light construction. In addition to low weight, the special features of the LT bindings are uncomplicated handling and balanced reaction times. The MOTION LT ATTIVA model is a special ultra-light version of the MOTION LT. It’s perfectly equipped for the corresponding ATTIVA ski models.
JUNIOR MOTION
It’s common knowledge that the conventional junior binding covers and influences a higher percentage of the ski’s surface than an adult model. This fact can result in negatively impacting the ski’s behaviour and skiing characteristics culminating in a poor experience for the young skier. At the same time, one of the most challenging issues in the mounting room is the drilling and mounting of the junior bindings. The new solution to these issues is the Marker Völkl 3Motion Junior system. Based on the performance principals developed for the 3Motion adult system, the junior model is scaled to junior dimensions and rails are size-specifically factory mounted without screws. The result is perfect harmony between ski and binding for improved learning and easy handling – and all this with a secure and trouble-free mounting.
DEMO & RENTAL
The rental and demo market is growing. Every year more skiers are looking for more convenience, the ability to change skis to fit the terrain, snow conditions, and comfort. In order to fulfil these growing needs, the rental and demo shops need efficient equipment, products that work easily and respected brands. These market trends are behind Marker’s development of the brand new Fastrak2 rental binding. Wide sole range, lighter weight and free flexing name just a few of this innovative new product’s features. The new generation is the perfect partner for the quickly moving rental market.
