Your stirrups are a vital part of your performance, but is also a cause of serious risk for riders getting a foot caught in the stirrup during a fall. In those critical moments, even a split second of entrapment can lead to being dragged, injured, or worse. Traditional stirrups don’t always offer a reliable release mechanism, especially when the fall is unpredictable.
That’s why the Acavallo Rel-X 180 stirrups are such a game-changer. With their patented 180° opening system, the outer arm is designed to rotate and open in any direction—forward, backward, or sideways—ensuring your foot can release cleanly no matter how you land. This all-directional safety innovation dramatically reduces the risk of entrapment, offering a new level of confidence and protection for riders of all disciplines!
