Specialized Recon 1.0 Gravel & MTB Shoes [2024]

The Recon 1.0 was made for riders who set out on two wheels to seek the great outdoors and saddle up their bike for the adventure ahead, with the scientifically proven performance benefits of Body Geometry.The Recon 1.0’s purpose is to add confidence and functionality for riders who push their limits uphill for an unforgettable view, maybe are even clipping in for the first time, or are hopping on their trainer for an after-work hammer session on the spin bike. Comfort and versatility are key, and that’s what the Recon 1.0 was made for.

Body Geometry: Like every Body Geometry shoe, the Recon 1.0 is ergonomically designed and scientifically proven to improve comfort, increase performance, and reduce the chance of injury for every rider with patented technology, while improving power by 7 watts - validated by science.

Stride Technology: Stride technology provides a flexible outsole and upper around the toe box combined with a stiff cleat pocket, enabling the shoe to easily flex when walking and remain stiff and efficient when pedaling.

Efficiency: The Recon 1.0 utilizes an L6 Boa Dial with soft-lace cables made from a Dyneema yarn, eliminating unwanted stretch while removing hard molded guides to give riders a more supple upper that comfortably conforms to the foot. Additionally, the outsole is optimized to put your power on the pedal through balanced stiffness.
