Tijey's safety stirrups, entirely made in Italy from ERGAL 7075 aluminum alloy, represent a true innovation in the equestrian world. Designed to offer the utmost in safety, comfort, and performance, these stirrups are engineered to provide excellent protection even in extreme conditions, where performance must reach exceptional levels, especially in the professional sector.
They are also an important tool for the wide audience of equestrian enthusiasts, as they significantly reduce the risk of severe consequences in the event of falls.
One of the distinguishing features of Tijey stirrups is the advanced safety system with a lateral opening. This mechanism is designed to quickly release the foot in the event of a fall, significantly reducing the risk of being trapped in the stirrup. Safety is further enhanced by the magnetic locking system, which ensures that the stirrup remains closed during normal use but opens immediately under pressure.
The magnetic locking system represents a significant improvement over traditional spring closure systems. It ensures a secure and immediate closure of the stirrup when mounting, while allowing for an equally quick and smooth release in case of an emergency.
The collaboration with E. Gaudiano led to the design of two new geometries for the stirrup footbed, exclusively available for the Tech and Top models, developed to further enhance grip and directional control after the jump. The first geometry features a spherical concave footbed, ideal for distributing inertia to the sides of the foot and relieving pressure at the center. The second utilizes inclined planes to support a more backward heel position, ensuring excellent grip on the upper part of the stirrup.
Additionally, the wide footbed of all three Tijey stirrup models has been designed with an innovative structure that replaces traditional spikes with a hollow pyramid design.
This approach not only enhances rider comfort and safety but also, thanks to the three-dimensional machining with micro-hooks, significantly improves foot grip, ensuring stability and firmness even in wet conditions or during particularly demanding maneuvers.
The sand in competition arenas contains silicon, a highly abrasive material that adheres to the sole of the boot, corroding the surface of the stirrup bench. Consequently, they are typically replaced every six months. For this reason, the Tijey stirrup footrest has been designed with a special design that allows it to last over time, ensuring consistent performance for more than twice as long compared to competing premium products.
01
The hollow pyramid structure creates numerous micro-attachments that enhance the foot's adherence to the stirrup. This design ensures a firm and stable grip, reducing the risk of slipping.
02
Unlike traditional points that tend to wear down with use, the edges of the hollow pyramid remain sharp for a longer time. This means the footrest maintains its anti-slip properties even after intensive use.
03
Located beneath the footrest, it absorbs but does not dampen the vibrations generated by foot pressure, ensuring greater agility.
04
A secure and stable foot grip reduces the risk of accidents and boosts the rider's confidence in their equipment.
Comparative tests have shown that the hollow pyramid design of Tijey competition stirrups provides a grip that is 150% superior to competing models. This significant improvement drastically reduces the risk of slipping, especially in critical situations such as show jumping or high-speed competitions. Choosing Tijey stirrups means investing in a product that delivers superior performance and consistent reliability over time, making it ideal for professional riders or equestrian enthusiasts seeking the best for their competitions.
Tijey horse stirrups undergo an advanced anodic oxidation treatment, a cutting-edge technique also used in the aerospace and aeronautics industry. This treatment, performed using high-amperage electric induction, creates a layer of "crystallized" material layer approximately 0.06 mm thick on the surface of the stirrup.
This crystallized layer imparts a significantly higher surface hardness than steel, making the stirrups 200% more resistant to wear and external factors, ensuring unparalleled longevity compared to products from leading competitors. The grip also remains efficient and high-performing for a much longer period.
This significant increase in durability represents a major advantage in terms of cost and maintenance; furthermore, the footrest can be easily replaced as a spare part, ensuring that the stirrups can continue to perform at the highest level without the need to replace the entire product.
