The S-Works Recon Lace Shoe tackles it all--long-distance, gravel riding, mud and dirt--with confidence and speed that'll leave the haters in the dust. We like Specialized for their time-tested gear that's rider-approved, and we're not shy about our feelings for the Recon. It's ergonomically designed and scientifically tested for performance, speed, and durability. It's part of the Recon family, speedy and comfortable on the bike and off (we love a quick hike-a-bike). The Recon mountain bike shoes make no compromises for speed, and we're seeing exceptional power transfer and lightness that's unrivaled for cross-country riding. This shoe is stiff, but not uncomfortable. It's fast, but durable. It's what we're looking for when we're ready to hit the trail at top speed.
