Wahoo has used one of the most innovative
pedal design companies, Speedplay, for its new product
These pedals combine Wahoo’s deep tech capabilities
and Speedplay’s unique design
Pedals are a deeply personal preference and
Speedplay has a loyal following. The Californian cycling brand was a huge
disruptor to established pedal design in the 1990s, but fans have pondered
Speedplay’s future, after being acquired by fitness technology and indoor trainer
company, Wahoo.
Two years after Wahoo’s Speedplay purchase,
the future product portfolio has now been revealed. The unique Speedplay pedal
Wahoo has announced the ‘first major refresh’ of the Speedplay brand since the pedals were invented 31 years ago.
Refinements across the whole line will ‘improve the performance and durability of Speedplay pedals’, said Wahoo. Revamped models have lower stack height and better aerodynamics than other systems, as well as adjustable float and spindle-length options.
Wahoo is also adding a fifth pedal to its offering later this summer. The Powrlink Zero is the ‘world’s first’ dual-sided pedal-based power meter.
The new Wahoo Speedplay line includes the Comp (£134.99), Speedplay Zero (£199.99), Speedplay Nano (£379.99), Speedplay Aero (£239.99), and the Wahoo Powrlink Zero power meter (price to be announced). The Speedplay line includes two cleat options: Standard Tension (included with Zero, Nano, Aero, and Powrlink Zero), and Easy Tension (included with Comp).
