A low stack height offers improved performance, as your feet tend to tilt less around the pedal axis. This includes being able to clip in on both sides of the pedals and the shoe being closer to the pedal axis (lower stack height) compared to other pedals. Fortunately, this kept some of the great advantages offered by Speedplay in the past. The basic concept of the pedals has remained unchanged.

While they were at it, Wahoo decluttered Speedplay’s somewhat confusing product line-up.
Exactly 15 months after the takeover, Wahoo are now presenting a revised Speedplay pedal range and thus integrating Speedplay into their portfolio. As such, Wahoo are back up to speed against their fiercest competitor, Garmin, who already have pedals in their portfolio and also positioned themselves against Wahoo in the roller trainer segment with the purchase of Tacx in the spring of 2019. In return, Wahoo got instant access to the pedal market without having to develop a new product themselves. One of Speedplay’s key reasons for the sale was improved market access through Wahoo’s global sales organization.
When Wahoo took over the pedal specialists, Speedplay, in September 2019, it soon became clear that it was a win-win situation for the two US companies.
