The Marker Griffon X 13 is the next evolution of one of the most trusted freeride bindings ever made. Taking everything skiers loved about the original Griffon and refining it further, the X features an ultra-low stand height that creates a noticeably more direct connection between skier and ski. The result is quicker edge engagement, improved snow feel, and more precise power transfer whether you're carving groomers, charging freeride terrain, or lapping the park. Designed for aggressive all-mountain skiers, the Griffon X delivers premium performance without the weight or DIN range of a race binding.
