LeMieux Vector Control Stirrup

Product Description

The LeMieux Vector Control stirrup is a new generation of stirrup. Technically advanced and lightweight, but retaining a classic style expected from LeMieux.

It is made from aviation grade aluminum that offers an impressive strength to weight ratio . This makes them lighter than most stirrups on the market at just 419g each whilst not compromising on stability.

The ergonomic footplate of the LeMieux Vector Control Stirrup is set at 0 ¼ with a cross-track grip surface .With embedded hardened steel pins,it provides maximum security of the boot.

The footplate is supported by a twin balance arch system . This distributes the weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame.

The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set, encouraging a 45 ¼ outward orientation . This makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.

An integrated hinged arm has a two-stage release system, preventing unintentional opening. The spring loaded arm locks into the base of the main frame.

Therefore when under maximum pressure, such as landing over a fence, the rider’s weight is spread evenly across the LeMieux Vector Control Stirrup .

This prevents the outside dropping and flexing. When pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup, the arm releases. This allows the foot to come out of the stirrup and minimizing the risk of it getting stuck. The stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing meaning enough resistance to stop it opening unintentionally.However it will release when needed.

Competition Legal (FEI, British Dressage, British Eventing and British Showjumping)
