Description
The WOLF TOOTH MKØ DELpedal is the ultra-high-performance version of the DEL pedal. Designed specifically for elite racers (UCI Gravel Series, Lifetime Grand Prix), it takes Wolf Tooth engineering to the extreme. Using exotic materials such as titanium with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, it manages to weigh just 174 g per pair, almost 40 g less than the standard version.
It's a single-sided pedal that offers the efficiency and aerodynamics of a road pedal, but with the robustness and 2-screw cleat system (SPD) needed for gravel and cyclocross. It retains the range's signature wide contact area for maximum power transfer without pressure points.
Does the 174 g include both pedals? Yes, that's the weight for the pair, which is exceptional. For comparison, Shimano XTRs weigh around 310 g.
Can I use my Shimano cleats with these pedals? Yes, they are 100% SPD compatible. However, the included Wolf Tooth stainless steel cleats are recommended for a firmer, more durable interface.
Why adjust the Q-Factor? To adjust the distance between your feet. A narrow Q-factor (51 mm) is often preferred by riders coming from the road, while a wider gap (59 mm) offers more stability and clearance for wide shoes or bulky frames.
Is it difficult to clip onto a single-sided pedal? Like a road pedal, it's weighted to present itself naturally in the right position. This is a deliberate choice to save weight and aero. For more recreational or technical riding with lots of stops, ALT or CTRL (double-sided) models are more suitable.

Points forts
Record lightness: At 174 g, it's the lightest SPD pedal with a complete platform.
Titanium DLC axle: A titanium axle machined with an ultra-hard carbon coating to reduce friction and increase longevity.
Massive Contact Area: A 559 mm² platform (compared with only 144 mm² for a Shimano XTR), offering stability akin to a road pedal.
Customizable Q-Factor: Adjustable to 51, 55 or 59 mm by simply rearranging the internal components (supplied in 55 mm).
Mono-face design: Optimized for weight and aerodynamics, with an open center for perfect mud evacuation.
