[Black   &  Aluminium]

[Aluminium]

The LeMieux Vector stirrups are a new generation of safety stirrups - technically advanced and lightweight, but retain a classic style expected from LeMieux. Constructed from aviation aluminum offers impressive strength to weight ration, making them lighter than most stirrups on the market at only 419g without compromising on stability. The ergonomic foot plate of the control handle is set to 0¼ with a cross shaped grip surface with embedded hardened steel pins to provide maximum boot safety. The foot plate is supported by a Twin Balance Arch System that distributes weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame. The tip of the frame is recessed and offset, which promotes a 45 ¼ outwards, making it easier for the rider to find the optimal angle for the foot and restore a lost stirrups. An integrated safety arm features a two-stage release system that prevents accidental opening. The spring-loaded safety arm locks into the base of the main frame, which means that the weight of the rider is evenly distributed across the stirrup at maximum pressure such as landing over a fence, preventing the outside from falling and bending. When pressure is applied to the arm of the stirrup, like when the driver falls, the arm releases so that the foot comes out of the stirrup and it does not get stuck. The breaking force of the stirrup arm = 36N (equivalent to 8 lbs) when testing, and means enough resistance to prevent opening the shackle arm, but will release safely if a driver falls.
