What makes Tectonic Different?
Born in the San Juan Mountains
Inspired by the high country adventures at our doorstep, we set out to build a better pedal for the places we love to ride. The result is three generations of pedals all that continue to innovate on a design that excels in challenging terrain, can keep riding through abuse and are highly serviceable. Our goal was to build the best pedal you can ride, and we want to build it in a way we can be proud of. Our current line of product is the result of our efforts.

Introducing the Alibi
Reimagined materials for tenacious traction
Performance meets sustainability
The Ultimate Platform Pedal
The Alibi is the latest evolution in our pursuit of the ultimate platform pedal. Every detail is carefully considered to offer the best in traction and reliability. With our proven size and shape, deep concavity, and thoughtful pin placement, the Alibi delivers supreme traction and power transfer. The heart of this system is our patented Sharktooth traction pin technology, conceived with an emphasis on ease of service and longevity. Built with ReVibe, a unique recycled carbon-reinforced nylon material for excellent mechanical performance and unparalleled sustainability.
Handle every trail with confidence and composure with the Alibi
In Pursuit of a pedal for every adventure
Functional Grip
Based around a long 120mm platform, 2.5mm of concavity and our patented Sharkstooth traction pin technology, the Alibi delivers the ultimate grip performance whether you are pedaling on an epic tour or mobbing laps at the bike park. Our design allows for better support of the foot, better grip, reduced hot spots, and better power transfer. This is why our last iteration, the Altar v2, received the “Best Grip” award from Pinkbike in the 2023 Flat Pedal Shootout.
The Alibi takes the same design principles and applies it to an eco-friendly version of our original pedal body material of choice, carbon-reinforced nylon, that is lightweight, durable, and glides off rocks with grace. Our goal is a pedal that will be a rock-solid partner from day one, until the wheels fall off.
The All-NEw Alibi
What Stands Out?
The Alibi utilizes industry shifting technology and thoughtful design to deliver the ultimate performance for riding your bike in your own style for miles to come. The Alibi lies at the intersection of uncompromising performance and sustainability, utilizing two ground breaking technologies.
ReVibe
The soul of the Alibi is a carbon fiber-reinforced nylon material that offers unequaled mechanical performance. Made from over 50% recycled content, we are also able to help protect the environments we love exploring on two wheels. With a blend of recovered ocean plastic, and post-industrial waste carbon unlocked via microwave pyrolysis, ReVibe is a technology that yields a superior material for a platform pedal with a focus on sustainability.
Sharktooth
Our patented traction pin design ensures that you’ll never run out of grip. By eliminating any threaded interface in the pedal body, damaged traction pins can be removed in either direction, and a replacement quickly and easily installed. Much like how a shark has rows of teeth waiting to replace those lost in action, the Alibi is always ready for the next adventure. Sharktooth technology is a simple way to make sure your pedals are born to bite.
Proudly building community
Rooted in the Mountains
At Tectonic Components, we're more than just a bike parts manufacturer – we're passionate riders who call the mountains home. Born from a deep love of mountain biking and an unwavering commitment to our local riding communities, we craft components that are as reliable as the friendships forged during epic adventures.
“So far, they’ve seen ample amounts of water and haven’t given up in terms of durability. Between the tall, threaded pins, which are easily replaceable, deep concavity, and mud-shedding capabilities, the Tectonic Altar V2s make it into my top choices.”
