Brilliance Vector Balance Stirrup Aluminium

The LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrups with Swarovski Crystals combine advanced technical design with elegant detailing. Crafted from aviation-grade aluminium, they offer exceptional strength without unnecessary weight, weighing just 419g each. Swarovski crystals complement the stirrup finish, adding a refined touch of sparkle while retaining the classic LeMieux aesthetic.

Designed to support rider stability, comfort and security, the ergonomic 5° angled footplate features a cross-track grip surface with hardened steel pins for reliable traction and improved lower leg positioning. A twin-balance arch system distributes weight evenly across the stirrup frame, while the innovative spring-loaded safety arm is designed to release under lateral pressure, helping reduce the risk of the foot becoming trapped in the event of a fall.

Key details

• Lightweight construction: Machined from aviation-grade aluminium for an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, weighing just 419g per stirrup.

• Swarovski crystal detailing: Available in Black with black crystals, Aluminium with clear crystals and Rose with pink crystals.

• Ergonomic footplate: A 5° angled design encourages a stable lower leg position and helps maintain a secure heel position.

• Enhanced grip: Cross-track tread with embedded hardened steel pins provides reliable traction.

• Twin-balance arch system: Distributes weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame for improved stability.

• Optimised stirrup positioning: Recessed, offset stirrup leather attachment encourages a 45° outward orientation, making it easier to achieve the correct foot angle and regain a lost stirrup.

• Integrated safety release: Spring-loaded hinged arm with a two-stage release mechanism helps prevent accidental opening while allowing release under lateral pressure.

• Stable frame design: The locking arm distributes pressure across the frame, helping prevent unwanted flexing or dropping of the outer arm, particularly when landing over fences.

• Tested release force: The safety arm has a tested breakout force of 36N (approximately 3.62kg), balancing resistance to unintentional opening with the ability to release when required.

• Competition approved: Permitted under FEI, British Dressage, British Eventing and British Showjumping regulations.

• Fit guidance: Select the correct stirrup size for your riding boots, allowing a minimum clearance of 10mm (approximately 3/8") on each side of the widest part of the foot.

• Safety information: As with all quick-release stirrups, release cannot be guaranteed in every fall. Factors such as saddle movement, a horse falling or an unusual angle of dismount may prevent sufficient lateral pressure from activating the mechanism.
