LeMieux Vector Control Flat Safety Stirrups - Carbon/Silver

The LeMieux Vector Control Safety Stirrups are a stunning combination of performance and style as you would expect from LeMieux. Machined from aviation-grade aluminum, these stirrups offer an impressive strength to weight ratio weighing only 372g, but do not compromise on stability.

The ergonomic footplate of the Control Stirrup is set at 0º with a cross-track grip surface. 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. The embedded hardened steel pins provide maximum security to the boot.

Further features of the Vector Stirrups include an integrated safety arm with a two-stage release system, which prevents unintentional opening. The spring-loaded safety arm locks into the base of the mainframe, which means 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.
