Thoughtfully proportioned and carefully balanced, the Karben Ultra Grip FX Stirrup combines attractive aesthetics with reassuring safety benefits. Retaining form under normal circumstance, in the event of a fall the outer safety arm flexes under pressure, allowing escape of the foot and reducing incidence of serious injury to the rider. Following release, the rubber arm retains its original shape and purpose as a supportive lateral arm. The stirrup is designed in ultra-light aluminum, cast for strength and with sleek lines. Low maintenance powder coating gives a durable and attractive finish. The foot plate is deep and secure, deep grip treads give excellent wet or dry traction, making the stirrups ideal for fast work. Secure and stabilizing, the weighted base is shock absorbing to keep legs energized. The stirrup’s angled eyelet offers a more naturally optimized hip, knee and foot alignment and assists with retrieval.
