Ride & Hike – The hybrid binding for the radical big mountain and backcountry charger.

Introducing the Duke PT 16 (DIN 6-16), the pinnacle of the Royal Family line and a groundbreaking achievement. This binding seamlessly combines the unmatched functionality and downhill performance of the Jester with the exceptional uphill capabilities of a pin binding. One of its standout features is the innovative Ride & Hike toe. In walking mode, simply unlock and tilt the upper part forward, revealing the pin binding. To reduce weight, the upper jaw section can be detached and conveniently stored in a backpack. The versatile Lock & Walk unit automatically engages the brakes and provides a 10° climbing aid.

When it's time for the downhill adventure, click the front jaw section securely onto the base plate using the Auto Quad Lock technology, ensuring quadruple reinforcement. In this mode, the toe piece functions just like a traditional alpine toe, offering all the advantages you need. The heel boasts the latest generation of Interpivot 3 freeride heels, featuring a lightweight magnesium housing for enhanced stiffness. With a low height of 24 mm, it enables direct power transmission and swift edge changes. Thanks to the Sole.ID technology, all Duke PT bindings are compatible with alpine, touring, and GripWalk boots.
