Description
Flex-On Green Composite Stirrup -Rose Gold
- The GC2 stirrups, best-seller of the Flex-on range combines comfort, personalization and performance.
- It helps to provide stability to the leg and enables perfect positioning of the rider.
- It ensures an improvement in technical performance thanks to its ergonomics and shock-absorption system.
- Flex-on stirrups use elastomer shock absorbers, which cushion the shock-waves from the horse’s movement, helping the rider’s stability and reducing joint stress.
- The offset leather slot facilitates the optimum leg position and contact with the horse, as well as an easily-regained stirrup should the rider lose it.
- The generous footbed gives a wide area of support and the inclined angle encourages the heel to stay down.
- The stirrups can be individually customised with a choice of Frame and Elastomer colours, as well as footbed angle and colour; tread grip; and decorative magnetic attachments.
Flex-On’s technology, fundamental to all our stirrups, relies on three Pillars:
1. Shock Absorption System
- Flex-on stirrups use elastomer shock absorbers with a wide footbed, which cushion the shock-waves from the horse’s movement, helping the rider’s stability and reducing joint stress for all the equestrian disciplines.
Advantages
- This technology maximises comfort and preserves the rider’s position and physique.
- The shock absorption reduces muscle work and chronic pain (adductors, ankles, knees, back).
- This technology has been demonstrated by bio-mechanical studies carried out by an independent sport laboratory.
2. Stirrup Placement
- The stirrup frame has an offset, skewed slot for the stirrup leather, giving the rider optimum contact with the horse, while the variety of angled footbeds help to achieve a correct leg position in any discipline.
Advantages
- The instant the rider puts on his stirrups, they position themselves perfectly, and his connection to the horse is immediate.
- The stirrup is found more easily and the tread angle limits tension in the ankles.
3. Stirrup Ergonomics
- The dimensions of the Flex-on stirrup allow perfect postural alignment (shoulders-hips-heels).
- The angle of its sloping footbed promotes a natural descent of the heel.
Advantages
- The rider’s posture is perfectly adjusted, automatically.
- Each point of support is optimized.
- The rider’s foot stays in place and fatigue is reduced, thereby encouraging precision.
- Flex-on is changing the way riders think about stirrups, by combining unique, shock absorbing technology with comfort, stability and customisable design.
- Made in France, Flex-on stirrups are extremely robust.
