Mark Zero (MKØ) Components by Wolf Tooth

Wolf Tooth relentlessly pursues the limits of component engineering. This has been at the core of the company since our founding. MKØ represents the culmination of everything we’ve learned, and is the purest expression of our brand. It is the result of endless iterations, hours spent obsessing over details, tight tolerances, and sleepless nights in the machine shop revising prototypes. MKØ items are the finest components we make. This collection is produced in small batches with labor-intensive production methods, premium materials, and emphasizes our excitement for rethinking what is possible.

MKØ Ultralight Low Profile Stem Cap

  • Stem caps are already one of the lightest components on a bike. The MKØ Stem Cap takes this a step further. These are painstakingly machined to reduce weight while maintaining the integral strength required of a stem cap. The spoked design with visible machine paths align with the complete MKØ collection of components, while being captivating enough to live on a bike independent of other MKØ items.

MKØ Bottom Bracket

  • Wolf Tooth Bottom Brackets set the bar for performance, weight, durability, and performance. The new MKØ Bottom Brackets group those best-in-class specs with a ceramic bearing.
  • The sealing is especially important here. Where many ceramic bottom brackets are known for spinning without friction, they are not known for being durable. The MKØ Bottom Bracket eliminates that issue, with best-in-class sealing for never-ending performance.
  • Like other MKØ items, these bottom brackets spent extra time in the CNC lathe to reduce weight with new, consistent aesthetics. Form has met function. This is the outcome.
