Shires Karben Ultra Grip Stirrups - High Performance Lightweight Equestrian Stirrup Irons

Elevate your confidence over fences with the Karben Ultra Grip Stirrups, engineered to provide unshakeable foot security and a rapid-release safety mechanism for ultimate peace of mind. Whether you are tackling a technical cross-country course or a demanding show jumping round, these stirrups ensure your feet stay locked in place while offering a critical escape route when it matters most.

Crafted by Shires with the high-performance rider in mind, these stirrups represent a masterclass in equestrian engineering, blending lightweight durability with advanced safety technology. The thoughtful integration of a spring-loaded lateral arm and an offset eyelet demonstrates a commitment to rider biomechanics, ensuring the stirrup hangs at the perfect angle for effortless retrieval and consistent lower leg stability during fast work.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Spring-Loaded Lateral Arm: Features a high-tension release system designed to flex and release the foot under pressure during a fall, significantly reducing the risk of being "hung up."
• Instant Re-engagement: Unlike many safety stirrups that require replacement parts, this lateral arm is built to click back into place easily for continued, reliable use.
• Dual-Grip Hybrid Tread: Combines a rubberized polymer border with a precision-engineered metal "Ultra Grip" center to provide maximum traction in both wet and dry conditions.
• Optimized for Fast Work: Specifically designed for the rigors of jumping and cross-country, offering the deep footplate security required for high-intensity riding.
• Standard Adult Sizing: Supplied in a 4.5" (115mm) width, which is the industry standard to fit most adult riding boots comfortably.
• Precision 450g Weighting: Each stirrup is balanced at approximately 450g to provide enough substance to hang steadily without adding unnecessary bulk to your tack.
• Angled Eyelet Design: Engineered to help the stirrup hang at a natural angle, making it significantly easier for the rider to regain the iron if lost during a jump.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do I need to buy replacement parts if the safety arm is activated?
A: No. The Karben Ultra Grip is designed for convenience and longevity; the spring-loaded arm is engineered to be easily reset by clicking it back into place, so you are ready to ride again instantly.

Q: How does the "Ultra Grip" perform in muddy cross-country conditions?
A: These stirrups are specifically built for "fast work." The combination of the metal center spikes and the rubberized border ensures your boot stays glued to the iron even when faced with water, mud, or sweat.
