Speedplay (Wahoo)

Speedplay stands as one of cycling's most distinctive and respected pedal manufacturers, officially known as SPEEDPLAY and now operating under the Wahoo Fitness umbrella since its 2019 acquisition. Originally founded in San Diego, California in 1991 by visionary engineer Richard Bryne, this American brand revolutionized the cycling industry with its iconic "lollipop" pedal design that challenged conventional pedal engineering.

The company's flagship product line encompasses premium clipless road cycling pedals, including the COMP, ZERO, NANO, and AERO models. These pedals are characterized by their unique dual-sided entry system, offering 0-15 degrees of free float and precise 3-axis adjustability. Speedplay pedals have earned their reputation through exceptional walkability, thanks to recessed cleats that provide genuine off-bike comfort—a feature that sets them apart from traditional road pedals.

Speedplay's credibility in professional cycling runs deep, with elite athletes like Jan Frodeno, Fabian Cancellara, Lucy Charles-Barclay, and entire teams such as EF Education-EasyPost relying on their pedal systems. Under Wahoo's stewardship, Speedplay has focused on enhancing durability and simplifying maintenance while preserving the innovative characteristics that made the brand legendary among cycling enthusiasts and professionals worldwide. The acquisition represents Wahoo's commitment to expanding beyond trainers and computers into high-performance cycling components.
