The Specialized Recon 3.0 is a race-ready gravel and XC mountain bike shoe built on the same carbon plate, cable routing and BOA dial placement as the halo S-Works Recon — stiff enough for full-gas efforts, walkable enough for hike-a-bike and coffee stops.
Key Highlights
- Carbon STRIDE sole — Stiffness Index 10.0 for efficient power transfer, with a toe-flex zone so you can walk naturally off the bike
- Body Geometry footbed & sole — longitudinal arch support, varus wedge and metatarsal button reduce hot spots and numbness and improve hip/knee/foot alignment
- Dual BOA Li2 dials — independent, micro-adjustable fit for the forefoot and instep; loosen a click at a time as your feet swell on long days
- Fully welded upper — seamless XPEL construction sheds water and mud, with a TPU toe bumper for rock protection
- SlipNot rubber tread — confident traction on rock, dirt and mud
- Two-bolt cleat pattern — works with SPD and all major MTB pedal systems
- Approximate weight: 345 g (half pair, size 42)
Who It's For
XC racers, gravel riders and trail riders who want S-Works-level stiffness and fit without the S-Works price. Fit runs snug through the midfoot and toe box — riders between sizes or with wider feet should consider sizing up.
