Resulting from a collaboration with Pénélope Leprevost and the Italian designer Pininfarina, the new freejump stirrup combines the comfort, safety and technology of single-branch stirrups, with the classicism of an eye set parallel to the tread for the first time. Stocked in Silver/Black (Hunter Friendly), Black/Black and Pearl Navy/Black. Other colors possible by Special Order.
Technical features:
1. Open eye / suitable for use with freejump’s single-strap stirrup leathers, or standard stirrup leathers, and can be run up when not in use
2. 9 treated studs (worn studs can be replaced)
3. Spring steel branch overmoulded with an elastomer
4. Flexible outer branch (can be replaced if damaged)
5. Extra-wide carbon tread
6. Cover (can be replaced if damaged)
7. Grip (worn grips can be replaced)
Soft’Up Classic – exceptional comfort and performance
- Improved shock-absorption ability. Reduces the strain on each stirrup by two-thirds and relieves pressure on the rider’s joints and the horse’s back, thanks to the branch’s new geometry. 3 times more cushioning than a traditional stirrup.
- Centre of gravity is set towards the front. This causes a backwards movement of the tread which encourages the rider to keep their heels down.
- Wide carbon tread, tilted studs: a supporting surface that is 12% bigger alleviates the pressure points on the arch of the foot.
Soft’Up Classic – improved safety
- Development of the manufacturing process. The aircraft-grade spring steel branch, with very high mechanical strength, is 37% more resistant thanks to the new manufacturing technique.
- Flexible outer branch. The freejump single-branch technology allows a flexible outer branch to be used. Designed so that pressure from the foot opens it up if a rider is dragged along by their horse.
