The Marker Jester X 16 M-Werks (often referred to as “Jester M-Werks”) is a premium, high-performance freeride and freestyle ski binding released for the 2025/2026 winter season. It is a completely redesigned version of the iconic Jester binding, featuring a significant focus on weight reduction and a record-breaking low profile. Key Specifications & Performance Features Ultra-Low Stand Height: It is currently the lowest binding on the market, with a toe height of only 9 mm and a heel height of 14 mm. This provides an exceptionally direct connection to the ski and faster edge engagement. Lightweight Construction: Weighing just 1,130 grams per binding, it is the lightest iteration of the Jester to date. This is achieved using magnesium parts and a streamlined one-piece toe housing. Short Footprint: The binding’s chassis is shorter than previous models, which allows the ski to flex more naturally underfoot and enhances the turn radius. DIN Range: It features a DIN setting of 6.0 to 16.0, making it suitable for expert, professional, and competitive skiers who require high retention. Boot Compatibility: It is compatible with both Alpine and GripWalk boot soles. Durability: Built with a reinforced steel chassis, carbon fiber components, and an anti-ice rail for clearing snow from boot soles.
