LeMieux Stirrup Irons<Junior Vector Balance Stirrup

The LeMieux Junior Vector Balance Stirrups are an advanced lightweight stirrup with a classic style. Made from aviation grade aluminium to offer an impressive strength to weight ratio, making them an outstanding 419g each – lighter than most stirrups on the market. 

Designed with an ergonomic footplate at 5 degrees, featuring a cross-track grip surface for lower leg stability and to keep the heels down.

A twin balance arch system supporting the footplate ensures that weight is evenly distributed across the base of the stirrup frame. The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set, encouraging a 45 degree outward orientation which makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.

The LeMieux Junior Vector Balance Stirrups have a two stage release system to prevent unintentional opening. A spring-loaded arm locks into the base of the main frame so that even when under maximum pressure, the rider’s weight is spread evenly across the stirrup to prevent the outside from dropping and flexing.

However, when pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup, the arm will release allowing the foot to come out to minimise the risk of dragging.

• Stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (3.62kg) in testing – enough resistance to stop unintentional opening but enough so it will release when needed.
• Please note that no stirrup with a quick release arm is 100% guaranteed to open in the event of a fall
