History

The first Speedplay pedal, the X, was patented in July 1989 by Richard Byrne. The company was founded in July, 1991, in San Diego, California. In September, 2019 Wahoo Fitness announced the acquisition of Speedplay.

Technology

Speedplay Advanced Road Pedal System is characterized by double-sided entry, rotational free float and 3-axis adjustability to allow a rider to step on either side to engage the cleat, and keep the foot free to rotate from side to side about the center of the pedal. The float and micro-adjustability is reported to be easier on the knee joints to increase comfort and optimize fit on the bike. In March, 2021 Wahoo Fitness launched a redesigned Speedplay pedal range, which sealed the bearings to streamline setup and maintenance of the pedals. Simultaneously, Wahoo Fitness announced the POWRLINK ZERO power meter pedal set to be released in summer 2021.
