The Specialized Recon 2.0 Mountain Bike Shoes in Black brings S-Works race led design down to a more affordable price point. The Recon 2.0 shoes work great for mountain biking, gravel riding & cyclo-cross. Just because winning an XC World Cup isn’t on your to-do list, doesn’t mean you don’t value performance & comfort. Recon 2.0 is your shoe. Inspired by the S-Works Recon, with Body Geometry comfort & efficiency, Recon 2.0 puts all that performance within easy reach. Using the Specialized exclusive STRIDE toe-flex technology, the nylon outsole uses a TPU injected forefoot for natural movement off-bike, while still providing a stiffness index of 6.0 for in the saddle performance. The heel has also been lifted for an even more natural feeling while walking. To create traction off the bike in wet or dry, gravel or dirt, the nylon outsole has been covered with Specialized Slip Not compound. If the tractions needed in the wet, you can also rest easy knowing the XPEL mesh used through the Recon 2.0 won’t get bogged down with water & will dry exceptionally quickly. No more wet shoes the morning after a wet ride. An L6-Snap Boa & a Velcro forefoot closure ensure micro-adjustable comfort with a secure fit designed for all-day comfort & performance, whether your ride calls for open gravel, twisting single track, & even more than your fair share of hike-a-bike. Features Body Geometry sole & footbed are built with purpose & backed by science to boost power, increase efficiency, & reduce the chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, & foot alignment. Injection STRIDE toe-flex technology allows for natural toe movement off-bike but remains stiff for pedaling: Stiffness index 6.0 Welded upper reduces seams for superior step-in comfort. BOA® L6-Snap dials for on-the-fly micro-adjustment. Slip Not™ rubber tread for confident traction on all terrain. Two-bolt cleat pattern fits all major MTB pedals.
