Flex-On Aluminium frame Ultra-grip stirrups (inclined or flat footbed)
Please select: (see "Product options" below)
Flex-on's premium aluminium-framed version of their innovative hi-tech stirrups designed - and scientifically proven - to help with the rider's position and reduce strain on leg muscles and joints. These have to be tried to be believed... (see below for info on our tester service)...
Flex-on also offer a lower-cost Composite version of these stirrups plus the "Safe-on" safety model (see "You may also like" below). Read "More about Flex-on Stirrups" for an explanation of the differences between the Alu frame, Green Composite and Safe-on models), and for more information on Flex-on's extensive customisation options.
Why we chose them:
- Ultra-lightweight and streamlined: the strong but lightweight frame (450g) uses hi-tech design and aerospace-derived aluminium.
- Innovative balance: clever offset and skewed stirrup-leather slot in the frame, plus a carefully designed multi-inclination footbed, help create an ideal position for the rider's leg and foot and reduce strain on the rider's leg muscles and joints.
- Shock absorbing: Elastomer shock absorbers supporting the footbed plus flexibility built into the frame help the stirrup absorb shocks and vibration.
- Ultra-grip footbed: small studs in the stirrup's tread grip the boot to ensure excellent stability of ride and connection with the horse (can be supplied with "grip" non-studded footbeds if preferred - we recommend these for light riders under 120lb/55kg).
We are Flex-on's original UK retailer, launching them at Olympia in 2014, so we have unrivalled experience with these excellent products. We strongly encourage you to consult us and use our tester service (described below) when choosing between models and footbed types. Our aim is to ensure you get the right product and configuration for your needs
"Having tried them myself, it's clear the designers have developed a stirrup that makes riding more comfortable and gives you a helping hand with your riding position - both pretty valuable results

Fitting note: Due to their special asymettric design, these stirrups come with distinct left and right sides, marked "R" and "L" on the frame. The frame marked "R" should be on the right foot, with the "R" marking facing the rear.
