About this product
The Marker Kingpin 10 Demo Alpine Touring Bindings bring together tech-pin touring capability and alpine-inspired power transfer in a single package suited to skiers weighing between 66 and 230 pounds (30 to 105 kg). The Intuitive Step In (ISI) toe piece features a rubber stop pad and a wider step-in platform for easier entry compared to previous generations, while integrated anti-ice pads protect critical base areas from icing. The Kingpin heel uses wide sole contact points to deliver direct, lossless power transfer and is designed to be considerably safer than traditional pin-technology heels. XXL power transmitters reduce friction and improve centering during lateral heel movement without adding unnecessary weight. Release values are independently adjustable both vertically and laterally in the heel for refined release functionality. Two climbing aid positions at 7 and 13 degrees are pole-accessible even on unstable terrain, and integrated elastomer padding dampens impact to reduce the characteristic clacking noise. Stand height is 21.5 mm, tech inserts are required, and the binding is compatible with Kingpin and Alpinist crampons. Priced at $324.99 CAD.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the Marker Kingpin 10 Demo for its exceptional downhill performance among AT bindings, crediting the alpine-style heel piece with superior power transfer, elasticity, and reliable DIN-certified release characteristics that feel close to a pure alpine setup. The demo adjustability, which accommodates a wide range of boot sizes, is highlighted as a practical bonus. Uphill touring performance is also well regarded, with easy transitions, dual-stage heel risers, and a natural stride. The most common criticism is weight: the binding sits in the middle of the AT category and noticeably heavier than pure tech options, making it less ideal for skiers prioritizing lightweight ascents. Some users note occasional icing issues in the toe piece in wet conditions, and the greater number of moving parts raises long-term durability concerns. Buyers of older (2017-2018) units should be aware of a past CPSC recall involving toe pins on specific serial numbers.
