Wolf Tooth’s New MKØ Line is an Ultralight Salute to Engineering

Wolf Tooth Components doesn’t know how to leave “well enough” alone. They’ve spent years obsessing over the tiny details that most riders never even think about, and their latest drop, the MKØ (Mark Zero) collection, is basically a love letter to the machine shop.

MKØ isn’t just a new colorway; it’s a pursuit of the absolute limits of component engineering. We’re talking small-batch production, labor-intensive CNC machining, and a finish that looks like it belongs on a Mobile Suit Gundam or F22 Jet. Here’s the breakdown of the new bling from Wolf Tooth.

The Pedals: Titanium and DLC Everything

Wolf Tooth is swinging for the fences with two new clipless options that are frankly, terrifyingly light. Both the ALT XC and the DEL Gravel pedals are SPD-compatible and feature titanium axles coated in Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) for extreme wear resistance.

• ALT XC ($364.95): Aimed at the cross-country crowd, these weigh in at 246g. The platform is 2-4x larger than the competition, which should offer some serious stability when you’re pinned on a descent.
• DEL Gravel ($364.95): This is the weight-weenie jackpot. At just 174g per set, Wolf Tooth claims these are the lightest full-featured SPD-compatible pedals on the market.

Both sets are incredibly thin at 14.5mm and are fully serviceable through Wolf Tooth’s Right to Repair program. We like that a lot.

Redesigned Essentials: Lockrings, Clamps, and Headsets

The MKØ treatment extends to the parts of your bike that really tie the whole build together. Lockrings, clamps, and headsets to add that touch of excellence to any build.

• Centerlock Rotor Lockrings ($24.95): Developed with input from Team Visma | Lease a Bike, these have been milled down to the bone. The internal spline version saw a 27% weight reduction, while the external version dropped a massive 35%.
• Seatpost Clamp ($44.95): By pairing a 6061-T6 aluminum body with a PVD-coated titanium bolt, they’ve shaved 19% of the weight compared to their standard collars.
• IS Headset & Stem Cap: The new IS41/IS42 MKØ Uppers feature a “super slammed” 4mm stack height, resulting in a 44% weight reduction over their premium headsets. The matching stem cap uses a hollow 7075 aluminum bolt to save every last possible gram.

Ceramic Smoothness: MKØ BSA Bottom Bracket

Rounding out the line is a $309.95 BSA bottom bracket that aims to shush the myth that ceramic bearings are fragile. Wolf Tooth is using premium ceramic bearings paired with their best-in-class weather sealing to ensure that fast doesn’t mean disposable or “Race-Day-Only”.

It’s compatible with 24mm, 29mm DUB, and 30mm spindles. Everything in the MKØ line is designed, machined, and assembled at their facility in Minnesota. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to put your bike on a diet without sacrificing “Made in the USA” durability, your bank account is officially in danger.
