We listened.
For 20 years that ongoing dialogue between elite riders and obsessive designers has propelled
Speedplay to the top of our game and to the top of podiums worldwide. The Tour de France.
Giro d’Italia. Vuelta a España. Paris-Roubaix. The Five Monuments of Cycling. World Road,
Time Trial and Triathlon Championships. And countless others. From the globe’s most famous
races to the daily rides of cyclists everywhere, Speedplay puts performance first.

Performance can quickly become an obsession. A fire that burns deep in the DNA of
competitors. It’s what fuels the unquenchable thirst to be faster, stronger, better. And it’s been
the driving force behind Speedplay pedals since day one. When we first analyzed conventional
pedal design, we saw gaping holes in functionality and huge opportunities to capture untapped
power. So we created a radically new pedal system from scratch. And from its raw beginnings,
it worked. Racers took notice. They rode. They talked.

combines so many design breakthroughs into such a light, intuitive, high-performance system.
Dual- sided performance – With our revolutionary dual-sided design, there’s no
fumbling, kicking or searching for the “right” side of the pedal. Just step down on the selflocating cleat and you’re in.
Lighter weight – By locating the retention mechanism in the cleat instead of the pedal,
we were able to offer dual-sided performance without the weight of redundant mechanisms.

Maximum cleat adjustability – No other pedal system offers fore-aft, side-to-side
Larger platform size – Pedal size does not equal platform size. The contact area between
the shoe and cleat, plus the stability of the interface, is what truly matters. Speedplay Zero, Light

Already the global standard for lightweight performance, we took the Speedplay Zero and
judiciously selected the most exotic, gram-shaving materials, including carbon fiber, titanium
and alloy, to drop weight without compromising quality or safety. The winning numbers? Just
65 grams per pedal. Even the cleats, at a mere 88 grams per pair, are 29.5 grams lighter than
standard zero cleats. Nanogram Zero. The race-day dominator.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. The Speedplay Zero’s dual-sided entry allows you
to step and go without a second thought, eliminating the time-wasting fumbling, kicking and
searching you get with single-sided pedals. The Zero also takes Speedplay’s trademark float to
the next level with precision adjustment options unmatched by any other pedal design. Foreaft, side-to-side and rotational foot positions can each be adjusted independently. And unlike
traditional one-piece cleats, each of the three critical adjustments of Zero cleats can be modified
without affecting the position of the other adjustments. The precise cleat adjustability also means
the original settings can be identically matched when replacing cleats, with no guesswork or
misalignment issues. Zero pedals come in a range of models to suit riders of all levels, from
weekend warriors to seasoned professionals.

A performance product needs to earn the trust of the world’s best riders. It must instill confidence
and deliver reliability and performance when everything is on the line. By functioning flawlessly
and consistently at the highest level of competition, the Speedplay Zero has become the pedal

Welcome t o t he ne x t le v el .
Speedplay’s user-friendly, dual-sided design makes pedal entry easier than ever before. With self-locating cleats,
there’s no flipping or fumbling—just step down and go. Light Action pedals also feature a unique low-force latch
mechanism that lets you step in easily and unclip without fear of falling. Now, Speedplay has made the Light
Action Pedal System even more user-friendly with a redesigned cleat spring that reduces engagement effort by
50% while maintaining the same retention security and release as the original. Once you’re rolling, the large,
stable cleat and smooth, non-centering free-float keep your knees comfortable mile after mile. Speedplay
Light Action Pedals fit virtually all road shoes and are easy to maintain with their built-in grease port.
And while Light Action pedals are perfect for riders new to clipless pedals, they include all the
unique performance features that have made Speedplay the choice of champions.

Proper bike fit begins at the pedal, and there’s no better way to ensure proper fit than with Speedplay’s Pro Fit Case.
Through years of working with professional riders, Speedplay has perfected a fitting system to fine-tune all five critical
variables of the pedal-to-shoe connection. With the Pro Fit Case, professional fit technicians can easily evaluate and
optimize a rider’s pedal and cleat setup for range of float, fore/aft cleat placement, foot-stance width, varus and valgus
foot tilt, and leg-length discrepancy.
Like other groundbreaking technological revolutions, Speedplay’s innovative history began with a

simple idea. Create the first dual-sided high-performance road pedal. Speedplay’s unique design
forever changed the form factor and performance of clipless pedals. Today, that original flash of simple
brilliance lives on in all Speedplay road pedals.

is strong yet lightweight at 99 grams per pedal.
C X/5 Chrome-Moly: The X/5 has an earlier release angle than the

Special ceramic roller-cam contacts were developed for Syzr cleats to ensure consistent release in wet or
muddy conditions. Instead of the usual metal-to-metal connection that allows other pedals to seize during
release, Syzr cleats feature ceramic roller-cams that do not seize when wet because they roll. In addition to
improving consistency of release, the ceramic roller-cams provide exceptional, long-term durability.
Syzr pedals use precision needle and cartridge bearings and feature a convenient built-in grease-port for
easy routine maintenance. Syzr cleats are compatible with all recessed 2-hole shoe mounts, and unlike some
systems, Syzr pedals will not cause damage to your shoes.
Syzr pedals are available in a choice of stainless steel or titanium spindles and will offer a wide range of
custom-fit options. As with all Speedplay Pedal Systems, local manufacturing is a priority, so many of the
Syzr’s components are produced in the US and then hand-assembled at Speedplay in San Diego, California.

At Speedplay, we were born with the need for speed – both on-road and off. After inventing the most technically-advanced road
pedals, we set out to develop a state-of-the-art, off-road pedal system that is equally capable on the road. Speedplay’s new Syzr
is the culmination of a multi-year R&D effort to develop the ultimate, made-to-go-anywhere clipless pedal system.
We started by making Syzr Pedal Systems transfer power more efficiently. Rider power is delivered to the Syzr pedal directly
through the cleat, not through the flexible rubber lugs of the shoe sole. This improved design for transferring power ensures that
no rider energy is lost during transmission. We also improved the precision of the pedal/cleat connection to eliminate the slop and
lateral instability common to off-road pedals.
• Unique, pivoting cleat provides friction-free, knee-friendly float
15
• Micro-adjustable, 10-degree float range makes cleat set-up easy
• Direct-through-the-cleat power transfer means no energy loss from
compression and no degradation in function from shoe sole wear
• Proprietary Ceramic Roller-Cam Release Technology ensures
consistent disengagement in all conditions
• Easier entry with patented cleat Funnel Guides

easier too since there is no need to reposition the cleat to make angular adjustments.
To make Syzr pedals easier to engage, Syzr cleats feature proprietary Funnel Guides that steer the cleat into the pedal’s latch
mechanism. Two wing-shaped Funnel Guides at the front of each cleat effectively increase the size of the target area to facilitate
easier engagement. Additionally, engagement security has been optimized by reversing the typical orientation of the pedal’s latch
mechanism. The Syzr’s new latch design virtually prevents inadvertent release when pulling hard on the pedals.

The Frog takes Speedplay’s proven performance beyond the pavement, but that’s only the
beginning. Originally created as a mountain bike pedal, the Frog has also gained a loyal
following among road cyclists and commuters who prefer recessed, walkable cleats. The Frog
cleat is virtually immune to clogging because debris is pushed out the back when you engage
the pedal. The Frog is the easiest MTB pedal to engage and release, yet it holds securely over
any terrain. For riders who want intuitive clipless performance no matter where they ride, the
lightweight Speedplay Frog is ready to roll.
