Hi,
Would this crampon fit with my Marker Tour F12 EPF bindings?
Marker Pintech Ski Crampons
Backcountry skiing often involves less-than-ideal snow conditions. Inevitably at some point during the season, greasy skin-tracks are the rule rather than the exception. The Marker Pintech Crampons will make quick work of that grease. Further, when tacking big mountains without a nice skin-track, frozen icy faces and supportable bullet-proof crusts can be daunting. If it’s too slick to skin, and you’re breaking through the crust when booting, ski-crampons become the only logical choice. Dynafit-style receptors make installation on your Marker Alpinist or Kingpin bindings quick and painless.

Hi Joel,
No, these will not be compatible with your frame bindings. Marker does make a ski crampon specifically for its frame models, but we do not carry it (nor any of the bindings).

I use these on my kingpins. Will these fit the mtn summit? What's the clip you mention from time to time? I don't remember there was something in the box...

Simon, These are Dynafit style crampon attachment, and they can be used on the MTN bindings. But you need the included clip to hold them in place. They come in the binding box, not sold separately.
You can use Plum crampons in them without the clip.

Will the 105 mm version fit with kingpins and a volkl blaze 106 ski?

Dan,
That should work fine! Just to double check, you could measure the width of the ski at the toe piece.

Hi Jeff- i am still trying to understand something. Does this Marker Pintech ski crampon bite in better than a Dynafit ski crampon because it doesn't hit the ski/walk lever on the Kingpins? Or is this crampon also not very effective and similar to a Dynafit ski crampon (and needs improvisation)? I just can't tell if the design is such that it doesn't hit the ski/walk lever and hence will bite in deeper.

Hi John,
You can contact us directly at help@skimo.co.
If your are using the Dynafit Crampon with your binding, and it is hitting the lever, it is not able to go all the way to the ski and get a good bite. You need to use this Pintech to work properly.

Hi folks- I have a marker kingpin 13s and have used my dynafit ski crampons with this binding however I have found they don’t bite in very well. Does this ski crampon bite in deeper than the dynafit on steep terrain?

John,
Generally a Dynafit crampon won't work with a Kingpin as they will hit the Ski/walk lever. If you are using a high riser while using a crampon, your boot will not push it down enough to get a Bite. Adding some type of riser to the top of the crampon, will fix that. There is nothing sold, you need to improvise. Screwing a piece of plastic or Cork to them is the best way.

Hi everyone!
Super cool site, thanks for sharing these info and valuable advice!
I'm in the lookout for crampons for my Marker Alpinist 12, on a K2 Wayback 88s....are the Marker 90s good enough, or still too tight?
Thanks a million,
Javier.

Hi Javier, the 90mm width here will work with an Alpinist on a Wayback 88. Note that these ski crampons are shorter than most, designed specifically to fit within the space constraints of a Marker Kingpin. They work with Alpinists, too, but the Alpinist also works with Dynafit and ATK style crampons. Check out our Ski Crampon Compatibility article for more information.

I am currently skiing on Volkl Blaze 94 - should I use the 90mm or 105mm crampons?
3/20/2023
Hi Natalia! Ski crampons do not bend well like brakes would, leaving the 90mm out of the running. The 105mm would work but is slightly wide for your ski. Depending on which binding you have, there may be better options. Send us an email at help@skimo.co and we can chat about the options. Thanks!

I’m looking to use these Marker Pintech crampons with Marker Kingpin 13 bindings on Atomic Backland 107 skis (107mm underfoot). The 105mm size may be too small with 108mm inside clearance. Would the 120mm size have too much clearance (123mm inside clearance) for this ski? Thanks!
3/17/2023
Hi Nat, I tested it and the 105s will rub a bit on the edges so it will be best to go with the 120s.

Hi! Silly question, my skis are 106 under foot. The 105 bindings for fit, correct?
2/26/2023
Hi Arg, not a silly question. The 105s measure 108 in inner width which you can compare to the width of your skis at the exact point these would sit (behind your toe piece).

I have Alpinist 12 Bindings, when they were mounted the clips we left off. Is there anyway to source and retro-fit the crampon clips to the toe piece? Understanding that might involve a re-mount of the binding, is that possible? Can the clips be purchased alone? Do the clips come with the crampons?
2/24/2023
Hi Andy, unfortunately we don't stock just the crampon receptors/clips for the Alpinist -- any chance you've still got the ones that came with the binding? Installing them does require removing the toe pieces, but you can re-use the same mounting holes. Add a little wood glue when you put the screws back in!
The clips do not generally come with the crampons.

Hello, I have Völkl Rise 80 with Marker Alpinist 10 and I need crampons. Ski waist is exactly 80. What size of crampon should I buy? I have read that it is OK to leave 5mm on each side which means Crampon size 90. Thank you for reply.

I'd go with the 90mm.

Just bought some Volkl BMT 90s and Kingpin 13s (should have both later this week).
The BMTs are 90mm waist. I'm guessing, based on the previous answers, that it'd be too tight to run the 90mm crampon but I'd love a tighter fit if you all can confirm for me that it'd work properly.
Thanks for everything you all at skimo do.

Hi Scott, we've measured the 90mm size to be exactly 90mm interior width. The Volkl BMT is listed as a 90mm waist, and the crampon will sit a little bit ahead of the waist. Your best bet will be to measure how wide the ski is where the crampons sit. If it's 90mm or above, the ski is too wide.

I have Marker Alpinist binding I'm mounting on a 92 underfoot ski. Can I bend the 90 to accommodate or would the 105 be best? Or would I be better going with another crampon?
12/12/2022
Hey Jeremy,
Ski crampons aren't really something you can bend. Sometimes they do run a little wider than advertised but I just measured these and they seem to be a pretty snug 90. If you want to go with these crampons I'd suggest the 105 or you could look at the ATK crampons and Dynafit crampons. Those have some different width options and are also compatible with the Marker Alpinist binding.

Hi Jeff, they slide into the side of the toe piece. There is an animated gif in our crampon compatibility guide.

I have the marker alpinist bindings on 109 underfoot skis. Could I bend 105’s to fit or is there another crampon that would be compatible and maybe a better width fit?
4/28/2022
Hi Gina. We don't have the 105mm in stock to measure the inner width. You are able to use the Dynafit brand at 110mm and no bending would need to be done.

Hi there,
Y’all are awesome, thanks for everything you do in the backcountry ski industry. I’ve always had unparalleled customer support experiences.
I have the ZG95 and ZG105, both of which I bought from SkimoCo, both of which have the marker alpinists. Question 1: is this the best binding for the marker alpinist, or should I look for the standard dynafit ski cramps? Question 2: would I be able to get away with just the one set of ski crampons at the 105 sizing for both of my skis? I’m not seeing a 95mm option for my ZG95s.
Thanks,
Zander

Hey Zander, thanks for the support we really appreciate it. First, the Pintech ski crampon will be the best fit for the crampon receptors but both the ATK and Dynafit ski crampons are compatible with the Marker Alpinist. Second, you will want to go with crampons that are closer to the ski width so when you are mid-stride they won't collide.

Do you know when 105 mm versions of this product will become available again? Thanks!

Brian, thanks for reaching out. Looks like it won't be until the fall that we get our hands on these again. There are likely some other options for you depending on the binding you have. Check out this great spreadsheet our Teddy painstakingly put together and see if there's something compatible.

Hi - Looking to get a pair of crampons for my touring setup. Blizzard zero g95 (177), marker kingpin 13. Nobody seems to have 105mm marker pin techs available. Can you recommend an alternative crampon that would work with my setup? Thanks!

Hey Craig,
Great question! The Pin Tech is definitely the best crampon for that binding however the Dynafit crampons will do the job too. The only issue in terms of compatibility with the Dynafit crampons is that they will potentially rub and hit the ski/walk mechanism lever from the Kingpins. The Pin Techs have the backside of the crampon cut out to avoid hitting the ski walk lever whereas the Dynafit crampon does not.
