The 2020 Specialized S-Works Recon SPD Mountain Bike Shoes in Red are off-road shoes ready for any kind of adventure whether its gravel, cyclocross or XC racing. The S-Works Recon takes a no-holds-barred approach to transferring every bit of your power to the pedals. The sole utilizes a rubber toe & heel for superior off-the-bike traction while the pontoons are made from a harder TPU to provide excellent stability & power transfer to the pedal. A completely refined padlock heel packs in more comfort with the same exceptional heel hold that you found in the previous iteration. & finally the space-grade Dyneema material used in the upper doesnt stretch when pulled on making sure that your foot stays where its supposed to. All of this combines to get the most out of every Watt. In the comfort arena Specialized have kept all of the Body Geometry features you know & love like the longitudinal arch varus wedge & metatarsal button.
