Overview

What is the Wolf Tooth DEL Gravel Race Clipless Pedal built for?

Wolf Tooth built the DEL Gravel Race Clipless Pedal for peak speed and consistent performance in gravel races. It aims to give the power transfer and connected feel of a road pedal with a shoe and cleat system that works in all conditions. At 216g, with 559mm² of platform and a 14.7mm body, Wolf Tooth says the DEL is lighter, has more platform area, and has a lower stack height than any other two-bolt SPD-compatible clipless pedal. Its one-sided design has an open center between the binding cages for mud shedding, and Wolf Tooth says clips and unclips stay quick and reliable, regardless of mud and grit.

The DEL uses the proven Waveform internals: a heat-treated 17-4 PH stainless steel axle, three cartridge bearings, and an igus bushing with a custom radial seal that protects the internals from trail debris. 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. The DEL is CNC machined in Minnesota, USA and backed by a 5-year warranty.

How is the DEL different from the ALT XC pedal?

The DEL is a one-sided gravel race pedal at 216 g with 559 mm² of platform, built for road pedal power transfer in gravel races. The ALT XC is designed for trails and gravel roads, weighs 294 g, and has 443 mm² of platform.

Are these compatible with my SPD cleats?

Yes. The DEL uses a stainless steel SPD-compatible binding that works with your existing SPD cleats, and Wolf Tooth optimized it for the Wolf Tooth cleats included in the box.

What is the adjustable Q factor?

Q factor is your pedal stance width. The DEL lets you set 51, 55, or 59 mm by rearranging the internal spacers and bearings at home, with 53 and 57 mm available through a spacer kit sold separately. Pedals ship at 55 mm.

Can I service and repair these myself?

Yes. Wolf Tooth says the DEL is fully user serviceable, with service guides and individual replacement parts available through Wolf Tooth Right to Repair.
