With the Recon 1.0 our goal was simple—put S-Works Recon-inspired performance in a very accessible package. Easier said than done but we’ve created a shoe with Body Geometry comfort and efficiency in a durable dirt-focused shoe. So yeah mission accomplished. Using our exclusive STRIDE toe-flex technology the nylon outsole uses a TPU injected forefoot for natural movement off-bike while still providing a stiffness index of 6.0 for in-the-saddle performance. The Recon 1.0 is a double threat—efficiency at the pedals with comfort and confidence off bike. To create traction off the bike in wet or dry gravel or dirt we’ve covered the nylon outsole with our SlipNot compound. We’ve also lifted the heel for an even more natural feeling while walking. Three Velcro closures make slipping into the Recon 1.0 easy and creates a fit designed for all day comfort and performance whether your ride calls for open gravel twisting single track and even more than your fair share of hike-a-bike. Body Geometry sole and footbed are built with purpose and backed by science to boost power increase efficiency and reduce the chance of injury by optimizing hip knee and foot alignment. Injection STRIDE toe-flex technology allows for natural toe movement off-bike but remains stiff for pedaling (stiffness index 6.0) SlipNot™ rubber tread for confident traction on all terrain. Two-bolt cleat pattern fits all major MTB pedals. Approximate weight: 331g (1/2 pair Size 42)
The S-Works EXOS EVO is the lightest off-road shoe we’ve ever created. Our world-class design team developed a proprietary Dyneema® layup that drastically lowered the weight of the upper while simultaneously maximizing strength and increasing pliancy to create a 232g featherweight racing shoe for all terrain with none of the weight. To secure the foot we’ve used the newly released BOA®Li2 dial featuring an increased level of micro-adjustment a lower profile and a refined ergonomic design to give riders the ability to precisely tune their fit. We’ve paired this precision fit with a reimagined toe box which uses a sleeve that stretches comfortably over the top of the toes and forefoot while maintaining room for movement and flexion. The S-Works EXOS EVO also features the XC FACT carbon sole. Our stiffest and lightest off-road plate to date the XC FACT sole has a stiffness index of 13.0. Which means all your power goes right to the pedals. And Like all our shoes the S-Works EXOS EVO is built on the foundation of Body Geometry—to boost power increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury by optimizing hip knee and foot alignment. With a proprietary Dyneema® upper that comfortably wraps the foot without compromising hold it’s also the most comfortable XC race show we’ve ever made. Built with Purpose. Backed by Science. Our Body Geometry trio of the Longitudinal Arch Metatarsal Button and Varus Wedge work together to increase efficiency optimize hip knee and foot alignment and reduce injury risks. Our stiffest and lightest XC FACT carbon plate maximizes power transfer: Stiffness Index 13.0 Lightest weight XC shoe on the market at only 464 grams: 232 grams (1/2 pair Size 42) A revolutionary Dyneema® Mesh allows us to achieve weight without sacrificing hold for the ultimate connection and comfort.
