The S-Works series consists of the most advanced biking gear from Specialized, and the S-Works Recon Mountain Bike Shoe achieves the level of mountain performance that cross-country racers demand. As a premier bike shoe, the S-Works Recon is outfitted with a FACT carbon plate--the lightest, stiffest option that Specialized makes--and it's fine-tuned for transferring all our power to the pedal.
