The Recon 3.0 was designed with the performance of the legendary S-Works Recon in mind—power transfer, comfort, lightness, and design—all wrapped up in a package perfect for XC or Gravel riders. Starting with Body Geometry technology, the Recon 3.0 delivers comfort and efficiency, with features that go beyond the trail.
Looking for performance on the bike and when you need to put a foot down? The Recon 3.0 features a carbon sole with fiberglass inspired by the Pavé technology found in our seatposts to create STRIDE toe-flex technology, which allows your foot freedom of movement when walking but lets you transfer all your power to the pedals with a stiffness rating of 10.0.Whether you’re stepping off the bike on a hill or walking to the brewery after your ride, STRIDE toe-flex technology has changed the game.
We know that embarking on your adventures means venturing into the unknown, which is why we’ve equipped the Recon 3.0 with XPEL fabric that repels water and dries just as fast as you ride. The Slipnot rubber compound in the outsole gives you the best traction on any terrain, with a wide outsole to shed mud.
The BOA L-6-Snap, combined with the Velcro strap on the forefoot, provides comfort and a perfect fit for all-day performance—whether you’re on a Gravel ride, a Sendero, or getting off your bike.
