“Stirrups serving riders and horses”
Manufactured in France, the Flex-On is revolutionary. These strong yet lightweight stirrups have been designed and built specifically for use in equestrian sports, but equally offer supreme comfort for the leisure rider. These top-of-the-range stirrups have been thoughtfully created, with every element optimised to improve the rider’s experience in the saddle.
Both the stirrup tread and the stirrup leather slot have been ergonomically shaped – they are both offset and tilted in relation to the stirrup to promote a better connection with the horse. The tread rests on elastomer springs which works as a shock-absorbing system for the rider, improving comfort particularly while jumping.
These stirrups have been scientifically proven to help the rider to improve their posture and alignment in the saddle which, as a result, decreases levels of rider fatigue – the rider is not having to work as hard as in conventional stirrups to maintain position, particularly the leg position. The position and support offered by the stirrups also showed to decrease the level of joint fatigue felt by the rider. The Flex-On stirrups also are generally the best stirrups on test that best absorb vibrations that travel through the rider’s joints, specifically while galloping and jumping. By absorbing vibrations, these stirrups help to reduce the burden of muscle work while riding.
This is Flex-On's most competitively priced stirrup, while still maintaining the established quality and design features of other stirrups in the Flex-On range in terms of shock-absorption and ergonomics. These stirrups are aimed at a wider range of competitive and leisure riders.
The Green Composite stirrups have been designed from an organically sourced polyamide material, reinforced with an internal steel frame. These stirrups can be cleaned with water, making them easier to look after.
Flex-On Green Composite stirrups are fully customisable. Choose the colour of the frame (black, chocolate brown, anthracite grey, silver grey, royal blue, orange and cherry red), the angle of the tread (incline, flat or endurance), the grip of the tread (mixed grip, mixed ultra-grip, inclined grip or inclined ultra-grip) and the colour of the shock absorbers.
Please note that due to these stirrups being fully customisable they have to be ordered from the manufacturer - delivery is approx. 1 week.
