The Safety Stirrup™ with patent-pending 360° double safety release.
Made to keep you safe, again and again.

Ophena A is designed to keep you safe. The outer side is closed by a fully removable silicone piece: The Twister. The Twister can be released at two independent points and in any direction - thanks to our patent-pending 360° double safety release technology.
It may look like a simple piece, but has a complex, highly functional geometry. Anchor-like ends that perfectly match their aluminium counterpart. Keeping the Twister in place while riding, and releasing it in case of a fall.


Ophena’s established diamond tread provides you with optimal grip and maximum control - for an amazing feel. It looks great, helps you perform and makes you more confident in the saddle.

We want you to be fully satisfied. Therefore you can try our stirrups for up to 60 days. Use them as you like and return them for a full refund if you are not satisfied.
The Ophena A has been carefully designed to provide flexibility and soft dampening. Right below the tread is a cushioning element to provide comfort for your knees, without disturbing the design. Further, the entire stirrup flexes to absorb harder impacts.


The core is made out of solid aerospace-grade aluminium. Precision-machined for elegant shapes and highest durability. The Twister is made out of durable silicone, that is both UV and water resistant. With a thoughtful design of distinctive shapes, every element has been carefully perfected.

Beautifully made
Excellent experience. My stirrups arrived beautifully boxed and I couldn’t be happier with them. They are subtle, elegant and the craftsmanship is unmatched. Recommend to everyone.


Ophena A
Ger väldigt bra grepp och sviktar lagom. Funkar bra för mig som har knäproblem.

Ophena stirrups
I've been looking for a good safety stirrup forever and have tried many different designs. The Ohena stirrups are amazing. They are just the right weight, grippy enough so my feet don't slide around, hang correctly down the stirrup leather so that I just slip my foot in without having to poke around for the stirrup with my foot, and have a breakaway side feature that pops out easily with moderate pressure. Luckily, I have not had a fall (yet) to put them to the test, but they are definitely safer than any others I have tried and well worth the expense. Thank you Ophena for the thought you obviously put into them.

Ich bin mit den Magnetischen Steigbügeln nicht zurecht gekommen. Die Ophena A geben halt und die Sicherheit nicht im Bügel hängen zu bleiben. Ich liebe sie!

Sicherheit steht an erster Stelle
Ich fühle mich richtig wohl mit meinen Sicherheitssteigbügeln auf meinem Jungspund der gerne mal ein paar Hopser macht :) . Sicherheit sollte immer an erster Stelle stehen. Und das mit Stil :)
