The Science Behind Ophena's Safety Stirrups
In the world of horse riding, where tradition often reigns supreme, Ophena is making waves with its cutting-edge stirrup designs. Today, we're spotlighting the technology and craftsmanship of three standouts: the Ophena S, Ophena A, and Ophena S Pro stirrups.
1. Ophena S: Setting the Bar High
The Ophena S isn’t your regular stirrup. Here’s how it breaks the mold:
-
Open Design for Safety: By implementing an open design, the Ophena S minimizes the risk of a rider’s foot getting trapped. It’s all about safety first, ensuring that in the event of a fall, the rider can part from the horse without the stirrup posing any additional risks.
-
Magnetic Safety Connection: Partnered with its magnetic insole, the magnetic connection not only ensures a secure grip but facilitates an effortless release during unplanned dismounts.
-
Smart Attach™️ Technology: The patented Smart Attach™️ mechanism makes attaching and detaching the stirrup a breeze—no need to take off the stirrup leathers from the saddle. Plus, this feature extends the life of your stirrup leathers. When not in use, the Ophena S can be run up and conveniently attached atop the saddle.
2. Ophena A: Safety and Design for All Disciplines
Ophena A is an assurance of safety, a statement of style, and a promise of performance:
-
Impact Absorption: Unique to Ophena A is its cushioning element located directly beneath the tread. This feature offers much-needed comfort for the rider's knees without disrupting its sleek design. Additionally, the entire stirrup has been crafted to flex, absorbing harder impacts, ensuring rider comfort even during intense activity.
-
Aerospace-Grade Aluminium Core: At its heart, the Ophena A boasts a core crafted from solid aerospace-grade aluminium. Precision-machined, it showcases elegant shapes while promising utmost durability.
-
The Twister – A Signature Safety Feature: Made from durable, UV and water-resistant silicone, the Twister isn’t just functional but is a testament to Ophena’s commitment to design. With its patent-pending 360° double safety release technology, it can release at two distinct points in any direction, enhancing rider safety.
3. Ophena S Pro: Premium Features for the Elite Rider
Elevating the features of the Ophena S, the Ophena S Pro is the epitome of luxury and enhanced utility:
-
Diamond Grip: Setting it apart from the Ophena S and its grip made of glas fibre-reinforced plastic, the S Pro boasts a diamond grip crafted from hardened aerospace-grade aluminum, ensuring stability and added control for the rider.
-
Optimized for Safety: Like its Ophena S counterpart, the S Pro is engineered with top-tier safety in mind. Its open design and magnetic system collaborate to minimize the risk of entanglement and promise secure release in precarious situations.
In Conclusion: More Than Just Stirrups
