Are these the same demo track as the marker kingpin?
Could you slide the alpinist off and replace with a kingpin? Or are they different demo tracks?
The Alpinist Demo Binding is the Alpinist with an adjustable toe piece and an extra-long heel track. This can be handy when sharing skis with someone or playing with your mounting location on a ski to get it dialed. When skiing, you can enjoy Marker's zero-gap design with a spring-loaded track that makes the ski feel alive and keeps the release more consistent. Choose from multiple release values and brakes. Marker’s Demo binding might be designed for a rental fleet, but can be useful for other folks as well.
- Dynamic Length Compensation keeps the heel flush with the boot.
- Two risers plus a flat mode let you adapt to the terrain while skinning.
- Toe is on a quick-adjust slider to let you play with your position on the ski.
- Demo-length heel track means you can fit a wide size range of boots.
- Lateral release value adjustment from 3-8 or 4-10 depending on the version.
- Vertical release value is fixed with swappable U-Springs.
- Brakes are swappable if you change ski widths.

Hi Jeff, in theory you could use this exact toe with the kingpin heel, but it wouldn't be possible to convert this heel into a kingpin.

Greetings! I need something like these to find a better, more forward mount point. I'm assuming once that point is found it will be possible to remove the adjustable tracks and brake for weight savings, correct? Thanks, Pat

Hi Pat, these demo bindings may not be mounted without the adjustable tracks. They're integrated into the toes and heels.
You may remove the brake and replace them with Alpinist Heel Platforms.

Hi! Can the adjustable toe piece and an extra-long heel track rail be out as a usual marker alpinist binding?
Thanks
Thanks

Alice, No, you would use as is. The heel is just the Long travel model, not that long. If you want a regular Alpinist, you can order it and add a brake if you wish. Alpinist
