New to MARKER for the 2023-24 season is the touring pin type binding "CRUISE". "Simple" is the watchword for this model, and it combines various functions more easily. Climbing aid operation to 0°, 8°, and 12° is also easy, and switching to walk mode and ski mode enables brake lock and release simply by rotating the heel 180 degrees.
In addition, CRUISE is made from recycled plastic and bio-based plastic materials, and is an eco-friendly model that reduces CO2 by 1.6 kg per pair of bindings compared to conventional products.

In recent years, freeride competitions such as FWT and JFO have also established junior divisions, and the number of kids skiers who go to the backcountry with adults is increasing. For such promising juniors, a model with a lower DIN opening value than the adult model has been added to the 2023-2024 season lineup.
