New Release: Wolf Tooth Launches CTRL, ALT, and DEL Clipless Pedals

Written by Nick Sowards on October 09, 2025

When it comes to performance and comfort, your three contact points matter most: cockpit, saddle, and pedals. Wolf Tooth Components’ new clipless off-road pedals — CTRL, ALT, and DEL — bring fresh precision engineering to one of cycling’s most overlooked contact points.

About Wolf Tooth
Minnesota-based Wolf Tooth Components has long been known for its precision-machined parts — chainrings, headsets, dropper levers — all designed and made in the U.S. Their approach blends thoughtful design, color-matched customization, and top-tier serviceability. Now, that same attention to detail extends to a brand-new pedal lineup.

New Wolf Tooth clipless pedals lined up with a black background.

Across the Lineup: Key Features

  • Adjustable Q-Factor: Three built-in positions let riders fine-tune stance width for optimized comfort and knee tracking — no extra parts required.
  • Wide Pedal Platform: A larger contact area improves stability and support, whether clipped in or not. Less rocker, more confidence.
  • Light, Durable, and Serviceable: Machined construction built to last, with easy maintenance and Wolf Tooth’s signature anodized finishes.
