Specialized S-Works Recon Gravel and MTB Shoe

From recent road converts, to sultans of dirt speed, the new Specialized S-Works Recon delivers pavement-bred performance to the gravel and XC discipline. Guided by more than 100,000 foot scans from RETL fit data, Specialized recognized that both a standard and a wide carbon base plate would best serve the spectrum of human foot shapes.

An internal I-Beam adds stiffness and strength, eliminating the need for additional bracing. The result is an intentional fit, thats stiff, comfortable, and tuneableto put the power down.

Inside and out, Body Geometry technology is baked into the the S-Works Recon. Driven by nearly two decades of development and validated by data, Specialized ensure there are no pain points, only performance, where your body meets the bike.
