Motion Systems

 

1. The Wide Ride interface is 30% wider than the original iPT. It was developed specifically for skis 80mm and wider.

2. The toe and heel pieces for the Wide Ride system are the same design as those of the Marker Duke and Jester freeride bindings. The components contribute to better performance with a more secure wrap on the boot lug, and increased directional elasticity in the heel.

3. Lighter weight, shorter connection to the ski. Both the toe and heel components are extremely light, allowing the skier to have a very wide ski that is as easy to handle and maneuverable as a narrower system. This is also aided by the short overall length of the system.

Motion iPT (Internal Power Transmission) combines ease of ski flex with power and sensitivity. Engineers built the binding interface into the ski body, then created a system that slides into position on the ski. Inside the ski, the interface creates a rigid connection that results in better performance in any snow conditions. The sides of the interface rest directly on top of the chambers of the Extended Double Grip construction, for direct energy transfer.

Motion iPT SpeedRide was developed for skis with up to 79mm waist widths. The system features a wider interface than the original iPT, plus the Triple Pivot Comfort toe, based on the Triple Pivot Elite toe of Marker's Royal Family bindings. Shorter and lighter than the four linkage toe of the past, it offers enhanced power transmission. SpeedRide features either the Inter-Pivot heel in the 12.0, or the Twincam heel in the 11.0 TC.

The 3Motion system takes what Völkl engineers learned in creating Motion iPT and applies it to our mid-range skis. A segmented interface makes it possible to deliver better performance through more uniform ski flex under the foot. 3Motion was developed in conjunction with Power Grip construction technology, which, like Extended Double Grip, utilizes more material over the edge to provide better edge grip.

Developed jointly by Marker and Völkl specifically to fit the new Racetiger models. Not surprisingly, it draws most of its features from World Cup components. rMotion ensures the maximum contact width via a new race plate that is a hybrid between the Marker World Cup plate and a Motion system. The plate functions just like a race plate, giving the skier additional leverage, plus acceleration at the end of the turn.

The Motion LT system is ideal for novice to intermediate skiers who want to improve, featuring the original Motion rail design. The toe and heel components on the Motion LT reduce weight by 26% to 989 grams, making the Unlimited AC and Oceana models easy to handle for improving skiers.

Junior 3Motion features a segmented interface that allows the mid-body of the ski to flex more easily, for easier turn initiation, more consistent edge contact, and better control. Because both the toe and heel are moveable, the skier can always be centered in the correct standing position on the ski. The Motion 7.0 (din 2.5-7) and 4.5 (din .75-4.5) models are available lengths 80-150cm. A lower stand height gives kids easier maneuverability and better control. The ultimate performance and convenience for retailer and junior skier alike.
