ALT XC Clipless Pedal

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"Switching to the ALT XC, I dropped grams and gained confidence. They’re thinner and lighter than the competition but don’t feel twitchy—the platform is just right for XC and gravel. The adjustable Q factor makes setup easy, and serviceability means they’ll stay in the rotation for years."

XC and gravel racing demand a pedal that delivers efficiency with zero compromise, and the Wolf Tooth ALT XC Clipless Pedal is engineered to do just that. At 295 grams, it’s lighter than Shimano XTR XC, Hope XC, and HT M2 alternatives, while the 15mm stack height makes it one of the slimmest on the market. The result is a more direct, efficient pedal stroke and extra clearance on rocky terrain.

Despite the weight savings, the ALT XC doesn’t skimp on stability. Its 345mm² platform gives riders a solid foundation for power transfer, whether grinding up climbs or hammering down gravel straights. The SPD-compatible retention system engages with precision, and the open body sheds mud better than closed designs, keeping performance consistent through every condition.

Internally, Wolf Tooth borrows the proven stainless steel axle and bearing system from its Waveform pedals, ensuring smooth spin and long-term reliability. With a reconfigurable Q factor of 51, 55, or 59mm, riders can dial in their fit at home without special tools. Replacement parts and service guides fall under Wolf Tooth’s Right to Repair, so every component can be maintained for years of racing.

From fast-paced singletrack to grueling gravel races, the ALT XC Pedal sets a new benchmark: lighter, thinner, and more supportive than the competition, built to handle the relentless rhythm of performance riding.
