Details
These LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrups are a new generation of technically advanced and lightweight stirrups, that retain a classic style.
Machined from aviation-grade aluminium offers an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, allowing these stirrups to weigh in at 372g, whilst not compromising on stability. The ergonomic footplate of the Balance Stirrup is set at 5º with a cross-track grip surface and mounted on an impact-absorbing cushion layer of dynamic polymer with a 70% compression rating. Impact and vibrations are absorbed in the point of landing when jumping which reduces the fatigue to the knee and ankle and lowers the stress on leg muscles and tendons. The embedded hardened steel pins provide maximum security of the boot while the footplate is supported by a twin balance arch system that distributes the weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame. The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set, encouraging a 45º outward orientation which makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.
An integrated hinged arm that has a two-stage release system, preventing unintentional opening. The spring-loaded arm locks into the base of the mainframe meaning that when under maximum pressure, such as landing over a fence, the rider's weight is spread evenly across the stirrup, preventing the outside dropping and flexing. When pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup, such as if the rider falls, the arm releases allowing the foot to come out of the stirrup and preventing it from getting stuck.
Competition legal (FEI, British Dressage, British Eventing and British Showjumping).
It is important to note that no stirrup of this design (with a quick-release arm) is 100% guaranteed to open in the event of a fall. There are several factors, such as a fall of the horse, a loose girth causing the saddle to slip and a slow or unusual angle of exit that may not generate enough lateral force to open the release arm. This is very rare but users must be aware that no stirrup is completely foolproof in every eventuality.
