Key Features
-
Wide FootbedWide Footbed
Stirrups with a wide footbed provide a larger surface area for the rider's foot, helping distribute pressure for improved stability, control, and comfort. This design is popular amongst riders of various disciplines.
-
Extra GripExtra Grip
Stirrups with extra grip or aggressive tread provide added traction to help keep the rider's foot securely in place. This feature is especially useful for riders traveling at speed or jumping, where a steady leg position is essential.
-
Quick Release SystemQuick Release System
Quick-release stirrups are designed to open under pressure, so a rider's foot can disengage during a fall. Some feature a hinged arm that releases from the top or side, while others use an open design where the foot can slip free more easily.
-
Offset/Angeled EyeletOffset/Angeled Eyelet
Stirrups with offset or angled eyelets help riders achieve proper position in the irons. The angled eyelet encourages the foot to turn inward (Ideally, a rider's foot sits at about a 45-degree angle; the outside branch slightly forward and the inside slightly back.) allowing the rider to apply leg aids more effectively.

Light Weight
Lightweight stirrups (under 1 lb) are favored by riders who prefer lighter tack for performance riding and competitions. A drawback of this weight is that a lost stirrup can be harder to retrieve due to its lighter build.
-
Medium Weight
Midweight stirrups (1-1.5 lbs) offer a balanced feel that many riders prefer for everyday riding and competing. They provide enough weight for easy stirrup retrieval while still keeping tack relatively light.
-
Heavy Weight
Heavyweight stirrups (over 1.5 lbs) are preferred by riders who want maximum stability and easy stirrup retrieval. The added weight helps the stirrups hang in place, making them favored by dressage riders.
With serious traction, lightweight performance, and top safety features, the Karben Ultra Grip Aluminum Stirrups are designed for riders who demand function and safety. A standout feature is the unique dual-grip system, which combines rubberized non-slip edges with metal studs across the footbed for a solid grip, rain or shine, flatwork or galloping over fences.
A spring-loaded release arm adds a safety element without interfering with your ride. It stays firmly shut until pressure from a fall triggers it to open and release the foot. Smart and effective, it is easily reset by clicking securely back in place for your next ride. Weighing just 450g each, the cast aluminum keeps things light without sacrificing strength. Powercoated with a sleek matte finish that is easy to clean and built to last, these stirrups also feature a shock-absorbing weighted base and angled eyelet to help support a more natural leg position. With a powerful grip, streamlined safety, and a lightweight design, these stirrups are here to support you through any ride!
