Specialized S-Works Recon shoe

Giving the boot to the existing S-Works 6 XC, the new S-Works Recon takes place as the Californian brand’s premium mountain bike shoe for those who like to clip into their pedals.

The new S-Works Recon shoe is designed to be both superlight and super-stiff for XC racing.

Recon ditches the laces in favor of two Boa S3 snap dials for quick and easy adjustment.

The heel and toe treads, which aren’t replaceable, use Specialized’s proprietary SlipNot rubber, which is also used in the its mountain bike shoe range.

The upper combines Dyneema mesh, four way stretch mesh, and TPU to create a shoe that conforms to the foot without stretching in key areas.
