Griffon X 13 Ski Bindings 2027

The Marker Griffon X 13 is the latest generation of one of the most celebrated freeride bindings ever made — a complete redesign of the Griffon chassis that takes direct aim at the very best bindings in the category. Where the original Griffon was already a benchmark for reliability and power transmission, the X takes it considerably further: a single-cast TP Elite X toe housing, magnesium components throughout, a fully integrated X-Brake, and a stand height of just 14mm at the heel and 9mm at the toe.

That ultra-low stand height is the headline. By integrating the brake directly into the heel plate rather than attaching it below, Marker have brought the boot measurably closer to the ski — improving snow feel, edge sensitivity and overall connection in a way that previously only Look Pivot users could claim. The Anti Ice Rail uses a new, more robust alloy for 2027, and the shorter footprint means the binding interferes less with ski flex underfoot. Whether you are carving groomers, charging powder or hucking in the park, the Griffon X 13 delivers a level of precision and responsiveness that sets a new standard for this DIN range.

Features

• TP Elite X Toe — single-cast housing for a lighter, more compact and structurally stiffer toe piece

• Ultra-Low Stand Height — 9mm toe / 14mm heel: closer to the ski for superior snow feel and edge engagement

• Integrated X-Brake — brake fully incorporated into the heel plate; no add-on height penalty

• Magnesium Components — toe wings and heel connection frames for a stronger, lighter construction

• Reinforced Anti Ice Rail — updated alloy rail for improved boot sole scraping and lateral power transmission

• Shortened Footprint — compact mount zone allows better ski flex and a more responsive feel underfoot

• Stainless Steel AFD Plate — consistent release characteristics in all conditions

• GripWalk & Alpine Compatible — fits ISO 5355 and ISO 23223 boot soles

• Centralized Swing Weight — keeps the binding mass centred for effortless spins and twists
