If you’re looking for performance, design, and efficiency in your new mountain bike shoes, the new Specialized Recon 2.0 25 Shoes are perfect for you. At Escapa, we know there’s nothing quite like heading out for a ride with a new pair of comfortable cycling shoes that give you maximum pedaling efficiency—that’s why the Recon 2.0 is packed with all of Specialized’s technology so you can enjoy every trail like never before.
Even if winning an XC World Cup isn’t part of your plans, that doesn’t mean you don’t value performance and comfort. The Recon 2.0 is the shoe for you. Inspired by the S-Works Recon and featuring the efficiency and comfort of Body Geometry, the Recon 2.0 puts all that performance within your reach.
Body Geometry
Like all Body Geometry shoes, the Recon 2.0 is ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to improve comfort, boost performance, and reduce the risk of injury for every rider with patented technology, while also increasing power output by 7 watts—as validated by science.
Technology
Stride technology features a flexible outsole and an upper around the toe box combined with a rigid cleat pocket, allowing the shoe to flex easily when walking and remain stiff and efficient when pedaling.
Efficiency
The Recon 2.0 features a Li2 Boa Dial for on-the-fly adjustments, making it very easy to put on and take off the shoe. The soft-lacing BOA cables made of Dyneema thread allow us to eliminate hard molded guides for a more comfortable fit. The forefoot strap over the toes helps riders adjust the volume around their toes to tailor the fit to their unique foot, connecting them to the bike to provide confidence when tackling a new feature or navigating loose, technical gravel.
Features
- The Body Geometry outsole and insole are purpose-built and backed by science to increase power, boost efficiency, and reduce the risk of injury by optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment.
