New premium model of our patented laterally opening Arena stirrups,
completely made of certified high-grade anodized aluminum and fitted
with a stainless steel tread. Acavallo has carefully chosen and combined
the materials used, following detailed research and comprehensive
testing. The aluminum, besides giving the stirrup a sleek and elegant
appearance, is lightweight and extremely durable, while the stainless
steel protects the tread from corrosion, guaranteeing a long life of the
product, too. The opening of the stress-actuated locking and release
mechanism is located a centimeter higher from the tread to ensure that
the foot cannot slip out laterally by mistake and to prevent sand and
dirt from delaying the opening action of the arm in case of an
emergency. Long holes in the tread prevent sand and dirt accumulations
so that the gripping effect is not compromised and a five degree
inclination of the tread helps riders to assume the correct posture,
relieving tension in their ankles, calves, knees and hips.
