What is the Wolf Tooth ALT XC Clipless Pedal built for?

The Wolf Tooth ALT XC Clipless Pedal is built for commanding XC and gravel performance, pairing a lighter, thinner body and exceptionally low stack height with more platform area than the competition for real control and power transfer. Where many SPD-compatible XC pedals only contact your shoe at the cleat and cage, the ALT puts 443mm of shoe-to-body contact under your foot, so it drives power like a road pedal while clearing mud through an open center.

Inside is the proven axle and bearing design from Wolf Tooth's Waveform pedals: a heat-treated stainless steel axle, three cartridge bearings, and an igus bushing with a radial seal to keep trail grit out. A patent-pending Adjustable Q Factor sets stance at 51, 55, or 59mm and ships at 55mm, and the stainless binding works with your existing SPD cleats with Wolf Tooth cleats included. CNC machined in Minnesota, USA and backed by a 5-year warranty. Built for cross country racers and gravel riders who want maximum control, ground clearance, and durability.
