Rumor is that Marker is coming out with a new version of the Duke. 16 DIN, 1 cm lower profile and half the weight of the current Duke which is a killer binding. Any substance to the rumor???

well if its half the weight then it will be half as strong, which would make them un useable so...

salomon is coming out with an AT binding also, hopefully one that actually functions well and is strong enough to really ski on

Doesn't that depend on the metal that's used? I've heard that the new binding (if it really exists) will be carbon.

Not necessarily.

You can have half the weight with the same/more strength

but three times the cost ahah

if it's true SIA is in just a few days and I can't imagine that Marker would miss this opportunity to show them.  Hopefully it will not require you to get out of your bindings to switch into ski mode.
