Wolf Tooth Components CTRL Trail Clipless Pedal

Wolf Tooth CTRL Trail Clipless Pedals are designed for unparalleled control and support for all-mountain riding with flawless clip-in/out performance. No other SPD-compatible trail pedal has a large platform (941 mm²) that contacts the shoe and locks in the shoe like this. CTRL Trail Clipless Pedals are simultaneously lighter (326 g) and thinner (15 mm) than all other trail mountain bike pedals with an exceptionally low stack height. The thin profile means better cornering clearance, while the open center between the binding cages increases mud shedding ability. 

The CTRL Trail Clipless Pedals have adjustable Q factor in 4 mm increments. Inside the pedal is a stainless steel axle, three bearings, and two spacers. Spacers and bearings can be rearranged for Q factors of 51, 55, or 59 mm. This is simple enough for anyone to do at home. A spacer kit including four 2 mm spacers is available for purchase to further fine tune Q factor adjustment. Like most Wolf Tooth components and accessories, replacement parts and service guides are available via Wolf Tooth Right to Repair.

Features:

Maximum Shoe Contact
The large platform area maximizes pedal and shoe contact. With many trail pedals, the only point of contact between the shoe and pedal is the cleat and cage, where it can feel like pedaling on a golf ball. With CTRL Trail clipless pedals, the shoe contacts the pedal body to lock in your foot for enhanced performance.

Best in Class
CTRL Trail pedals give you the best of everything. Exceptionally large platform size, light weight, and thinness for maximum control, power transfer, and ground clearance.

Stainless Durability
Stronger and corrosion-resistant. The CTRL Trail Clipless Pedals feature stainless steel SPD-compatible binding assemblies and axles. They are so durable that they might outlast your bike.

Crisp, Consistent, Refined
Clipping in and out needs to be simple, quick, and reliable. The CTRL Trail Clipless Pedals feature an SPD-compatible cage that will work with your existing SPD cleats. Wolf Tooth cleats are included in the box for optimized performance.

Adjustable Q Factor
Adjusting the Q factor (pedal stance width) moves the pedal toward or away from the center of the bike. The CTRL Trail Clipless Pedals have Q factor options of 51, 55, and 59mm to fine-tune your fit, and ship set at 55mm. Adjusting the Q factor is simple enough to do at home.

Ground Clearance and Mud Shedding
We designed CTRL Clipless Trail Pedals with a thin profile and open center. A thin profile means a reduced chance of pedal strikes when cornering or riding over rocks and roots. The open center quickly sheds mud that can interfere with clipping in and out to ensure that your clips and unclips are quick and reliable. 

Reliable Construction
CTRL Trail Clipless Pedals feature machined components from Wolf Tooth HQ here in Minnesota, USA. The internal components use the same proven design from our popular Waveform Aluminum Pedals, including a machined stainless steel axle, three low-friction cartridge bearings, and one igus bushing with a custom radial seal that protects internal components from trail debris. Simply put: these pedals will perform in any/all conditions.
