Description
Flex-On Safe-On Stirrup -Junior
- The Safe-on Junior stirrup is designed for tomorrow’s little champions !
- The Safe-on Junior stirrup has the same characteristics as its big brother, the SAFE-ON.
- Resized for children, it combines comfort, performance and safety.
- It integrates the shock-absorbing Flex-on safety system that is adapted to the young rider’s body.
- The single branch frame design will increase the comfort of our young riders.
- Notwithstanding, its releasable arm will reduce the risk of injury by setting the foot free in the event of a fall.
- The arm can then be reset manually.
Please note that the rider must under 40 kg to enable the trigger of the mechanism.
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.
