Wolf Tooth DEL Gravel Race Clipless Pedal

Wolf Tooth DEL Gravel Race Clipless Pedal Info

The Wolf Tooth DEL Gravel Race Clipless Pedal was engineered for riders who demand speed, efficiency, and absolute trust in their equipment. As gravel racing evolves, so do the expectations for pedal performance — and the DEL design delivers a uniquely fast, minimalist interface that still provides exceptional stability. What sets these pedals apart is their race-driven simplicity: a one-sided, SPD-compatible system that prioritizes clean engagement, confident power transfer, and consistent performance in unpredictable terrain.

What you feel on the bike is immediate connection. The DEL Gravel Race pedal combines an impressively low 216 g weight with a wide 559 mm² platform, giving riders the kind of support typically associated with road systems. Add in the strategic mud-shedding channel through the center, and the result is a pedal that stays clear, fast, and predictable — even deep into a race when conditions deteriorate.

Riders who like to fine-tune their position will appreciate the adjustable Q factor system. Using the included spacers and bearings, you can quickly shift between 51, 55, or 59 mm to dial in alignment and efficiency. It’s a level of customization rarely seen at this weight and thickness, and it makes the DEL an especially appealing option for riders with specific biomechanical needs.

Inside each pedal is Wolf Tooth’s proven stainless steel axle and triple-bearing configuration, inspired by their Waveform platform pedals. This internal architecture is designed for longevity under real-world gravel abuse. And because Wolf Tooth prioritizes serviceability, replacement parts and guides are readily available through their Right to Repair ethos.
