Specialized S-Works Recon Evo Shoe

The S-Works Recon EVO is a cycling shoe built for XC and gravel racing, combining the precision of the Ares 2 platform with the off-road heritage of the S-Works Recon line. Its patented PowerHug closure works with dual BOA Dial Li2 dials to wrap the foot evenly and hold position under hard efforts. A unidirectional carbon outsole channels power directly into the drivetrain.

The Body Geometry Natural Last reduces forefoot pressure by 44% compared to a standard last, making it viable for longer race efforts where foot fatigue compounds. Footbed compatibility includes Body Geometry SL Footbeds Gen 2 and Retul Custom, giving riders a path to a more personalized fit. The shoe weighs 280g per half-pair in size 44, keeping the overall package light without compromising stiffness.
