Description
Meet the new generation safety stirrups from LeMieux! The Vector stirrup irons are both technically advanced and lightweight.
Machined from aviation grade aluminium, the stirrups offer an impressive strength to weight ratio.
At just 419g, the irons are lighter than most stirrups on the market. All of this without compromising on stability.
The ergonomic footplate is set at 0º and finished with a cross-track grip surface with embedded hardened steel pins to provide maximum security of the rider’s boot.
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 achieve the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.
An integrated safety arm has a two-stage release system, preventing unintentional opening.
The spring-loaded safety arm locks into the base of the main frame 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 getting stuck.
The stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing meaning enough resistance to stop it opening unintentionally but will safely release in the event of a rider falling.
