The Specialized Recon 3.0 Mountain Bike Shoes is all about getting the performance of the S-Works Recon into a package perfect for XC and gravel riders who don’t need absolutely top end race performance. The Recon 3.0 still gives you near S-Works levels of power transfer, comfort and lightness so you can be super-efficient.

Looking for in the saddle speed as well as off-bike performance? Recon 3.0 mates a carbon outsole with a pav-inspired glass fibre forefoot to create carbon stride toe-flex which lets your foot function naturally off the bike yet still provides incredible power transfer with a stiffness index of 10.0. Whether you’re flying up a run-up on the cyclo-cross course or strolling into the pub post ride stride toe-flex is a game changer.

The Recon 3.0 comes with XPEL mesh to create a comfortable fit that sheds water keeping the shoe light and dry. Slipnot compound provides full rubber coverage of the outsole for off bike traction on any surface with open treads to eject mud.

Dual L6-Snap Boas and a velcro forefoot closure ensure micro adjustable comfort with a secure fit designed for all day comfort and performance whether your ride calls for open gravel, twisting single track or more than your fair share of hike-a-bike.
