Wolf Tooth SHIFT Gravity Clipless Pedals are designed for maximum support and unparalleled confidence for downhill, enduro, and aggressive trail riding with flawless clip-in/out performance. Extra contact in the front and rear with optional rear-loading grip pins provide even more control for commanding rides.

No other SPD-compatible pedals have a platform as large as SHIFT at 1201 mm². This platform contacts and locks in your shoe for confidence in extreme terrain at high speeds. SHIFT Gravity Clipless Pedals are simultaneously lighter (410 g) and thinner (15 mm) than all other gravity mountain bike pedals with an exceptionally low stack height. The thin profile means better cornering clearance and a lower center of gravity on the bike, while the open center between the binding cages increases mud shedding ability.

SHIFT Gravity 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. A spacer kit including four 2 mm spacers is available for purchase to further fine tune Q factor adjustment. This is simple enough for anyone to do at home. Like most Wolf Tooth components and accessories, replacement parts and service guides are available via Wolf Tooth Right to Repair.

Recommended

• Apply WT-G Precision Bike Grease to the pedal threads before installing pedals on crankarms.
  
• Shift pedals accept up to 4 traction pins per side. Our 3 mm short pins are included with the pedals but not installed. We recommend riding first without pins and then adding pins if you desire more traction.
• Adding front pins may make it harder to clip in with some shoes and adding rear pins may make it harder to clip out with some shoes. Always verify the clip in and out function with added pins in a safe area before hitting the trails.
• You may find the biggest benefit to installing the pins is the added traction when you are not clipped in. This is especially true of the front pins as they typically do not contact your shoes when clipped in.
• Longer Wolf Tooth 4.5 mm pins from our flat pedals are available for an even higher level of traction.

Compatibility

• Compatible with SPD cleats; Wolf Tooth cleats included
• Fits all standard cranks with 9/16-20 tpi right- and left-hand threads – some kids' bikes and vintage bikes may have smaller incompatible threads.
