Product description
Specialized Recon 3.0 is a shoe that looks good, feels good, and is light yet capable It is something that used to be hard to find. Recon 3.0 was made for speed, durability, comfort, and is now lighter than ever before. KOM/QOM chasers, race podium challengers, and all devotees of speed don’t need to sacrifice comfort, durability, or off-the-bike capability when searching for an efficient race-ready shoe with the scientifically proven performance benefits of Body Geometry.
The Recon 3.0 with Body Geometry sole and footbed is ergonomically designed and scientifically proven to improve comfort, increase performance, and reduce the chance of injury for every rider with patented technology, while improving power by 7 watts - validated by science. The added Stride toe-flex technology provides a flexible outsole and upper around the toe box combined with a stiff cleat pocket, enabling the shoe to easily flex when walking and remain stiff and efficient when pedaling with the stiffness index 10.0. The carbon outsole is covert with Specialized's SlipNot compound, with a lifted heel for more natural feeling while walking.
For the high performance & efficiency the Recon 3.0 pulls its cable routing, Boa Li2 dial placement, and carbon plate directly from the halo S-Works Recon. Dual, premium Li2 Boa Dial system offers optimized adjustability and fit, while the cable routing ensures a locked-in feel, minimizing movement within the shoe. The carbon plate keeps the shoe lightweight and stiff for optimal power output on the pedal, not to mention shaving another 10 grams off the previous generation.
