In 2019, GPS and indoor training brand Wahoo acquired pedal maker Speedplay and today the brand has announced a refreshed range of four road pedals, with a power meter pedal option to follow later in the year.

Speedplay’s distinctive lollipop-style, double-sided road pedals have been around since the nineties and the Zero model has undergone minimal changes for more than a decade, aside from a few special variants and updates to the cleat.
With pricing starting at £134.99 / $149.99 / €149.99 for the most affordable Comp model, the new Wahoo Speedplays retain the underlying design but have been updated to reduce maintenance requirements and improve user-friendliness.
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).
