What is the difference between the Marker Griffon X 13 and the Griffon X 13 MWerks?

Both run DIN 4-13. Both sit at 14 mm. Both use the TP Elite X toe and the Inter Pivot X heel. The MWerks carries an extra MG badge in Marker's feature row and weighs 1130 g per binding against this one's 1020 g. Marker does not publish which components that badge covers, so the honest summary is that the MWerks is the heavier, dearer build of the same chassis.

Do Marker Griffon X 13 bindings take GripWalk boots?

Yes. The BOOT TYPE row reads A / GW A, which covers adult alpine and adult GripWalk soles. Marker lists no other sole norm for it. GripWalk support is declared per binding model and never carries across a brand line, so check the exact model rather than assuming.

Can I use touring boots with the Marker Griffon X 13?

No. Only the two adult sole norms are listed for it. This is not a gap in the paperwork: on the same catalog page the Griffon 13 MN carries a T in its own BOOT TYPE row, so Marker does state touring compatibility where it exists. For a touring sole you need a binding that names the norm.

Which brake width do I need for the Marker Griffon X 13?

The brake has to clear the waist of your ski, so pick the narrowest that still does - 90, 105 or 120 mm on this binding. Note there is no 100 or 110 mm option here. Tell us your skis and we will match it.

Description

The Marker Griffon X 13 is a new freeride binding for 26/27 with a DIN 4-13 range, and the number that sets it apart is how low it sits: 14 mm of stand height, which the catalog calls the lowest stand height of any Marker freeski binding yet.

The toe is the TP Elite X and the heel the Inter Pivot X. Marker's stated reason the binding comes out as light as it does is the use of high-tech plastics in both heel and toe. The result reads oddly against the price list: the Griffon X weighs 1020 g per binding and comes out lighter than the Griffon X 13 MWerks, which Marker lists at 1130 g.

Compatibility is stated, and it is narrow. Marker gives BOOT TYPE as A / GW A, meaning the adult alpine and adult GripWalk sole norms. Touring soles are absent from that list, and it is worth knowing this is deliberate rather than an oversight: the Griffon 13 MN, printed on the same catalog page, reads A / T / GW A, so Marker does write a T when a binding takes a touring sole. If touring boots are what you ski, this is the wrong binding.

Brakes come in 90, 105 and 120 mm and have to clear your ski's waist. We match the brake to your skis, mount them, and set your release values on a calibrated bench. The DIN window is an indicator scale rather than a measured release torque, so the number you actually ski is a technician's determination made against your own boot.

1020 g per binding

Between the two X Series Griffons, Marker's own figures put the mass the other way round from the usual assumption. If you want the MWerks, want it for the MG-badged build, because there is no weight case for it.

The brake table is the thing to check before anything else. Marker builds it in three widths only, skipping the 100 and 110 mm steps, so some waists land between sizes and take the next brake up rather than an exact match.

Three things Marker does not publish for it: the boot sole length range it accepts, any certification statement, and a component-level account of what the X generation changed. The first is the one to ask us about before you buy, because it decides whether your boot fits at all.

Best For

Skiers whose technician-set release value lands inside DIN 4-13, on alpine or GripWalk adult soles, who want the lowest stand height Marker publishes for a freeski binding and a ski waist that a 90, 105 or 120 mm brake will clear.

Not For

Touring boots - Marker lists this binding as A / GW A, and the Griffon 13 MN on the same page shows Marker writes a T when it means touring. Skis too wide for a 120 mm brake to clear. And anyone whose setting falls outside 4-13: the range does not start at 3 like the Squire bindings do.
