LeMieux Vector Control Stirrup

LeMieux Vector Control Stirrup

The LeMieux Vector stirrups are a new generation of safety stirrup - technically
advanced and lightweight, but retaining a classic style expected from LeMieux


Machined from aviation grade aluminium offers an impressive strength to weight
ration, making them lighter than most stirrups on the market at just 372g,
whilst not compromising on stability.


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