Technology & Construction

Triple Pivot Light 2 Toe

The Marker Squire 11 features the Triple Pivot Light 2 toe, designed to balance lightweight construction with responsive power transfer and dependable release characteristics.

Its compact design provides supportive contact between the ski boot and binding, helping transfer skier input efficiently to the ski.

The toe is compatible with approved adult alpine and GripWalk boot soles, making the Squire 11 a versatile option for modern ski equipment.

Hollow Linkage 2 Heel

The Hollow Linkage 2 heel features an updated design that improves step-in performance while maintaining dependable downhill retention.

Its wider boot holder provides supportive contact, while the heel mechanism reduces the force required to step into the binding.

This makes the Squire 11 particularly appealing to lighter-weight skiers and those who prefer a binding that is easier to enter throughout the ski day.

Anti-Ice Rail

The Triple Pivot Light 2 toe incorporates Marker's Anti-Ice Rail, a metal surface designed to help remove snow and ice from the bottom of ski boot soles.

Accumulated snow beneath a ski boot can interfere with proper binding engagement.

The Anti-Ice Rail provides a convenient way to clear debris before stepping into the binding.

Skiers should always confirm that their boot soles and binding contact surfaces are clear before skiing.

Gliding Anti-Friction Device

The Marker Squire 11 features a stainless steel sliding anti-friction device, commonly called an AFD.

The Gliding AFD allows controlled lateral movement between the boot sole and binding during appropriate release events.

This design helps maintain the binding's intended release characteristics while reducing interference from friction at the toe interface.

Proper boot compatibility, mounting, adjustment, and release testing remain essential.

Low-Profile 24 mm Stand Height

The Squire 11 features a compact 24 mm stand height that positions the ski boot relatively close to the ski.

This design supports direct energy transmission and responsive edge engagement.

The lower profile helps skiers maintain a connected feel when carving groomed runs, navigating bumps, or exploring variable snow.

GripWalk Boot Compatibility

The Marker Squire 11 supports approved adult ski boot soles meeting the following standards:

• ISO 5355 Type A – Traditional adult alpine ski boot soles.

• ISO 23223 Type A – Adult GripWalk ski boot soles.

GripWalk boots feature rockered soles designed to improve walking comfort and traction around ski resorts.

The Squire 11 accommodates these approved soles while maintaining the downhill functionality of a traditional alpine binding.

The Squire 11 is not a MultiNorm touring binding and is not intended for touring-specific ISO 9523 boot soles.

Lightweight Royal Family Construction

As part of Marker's Royal Family collection, the Squire 11 incorporates freeride-oriented technology in a lightweight package.

Its reinforced components provide structural support while keeping overall binding weight relatively low.

At approximately 820 g per binding, the Squire 11 is a practical choice for skiers who want dependable all-mountain performance without unnecessary equipment weight.

Versatile All-Mountain Capability: Designed for groomed trails, bumps, variable snow, and lift-accessed freeride terrain.
