Specialized

S-Works Recon Evo MTB Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The PowerHug closure distributes pressure across a larger contact area than a standard BOA setup, which translates to a more even lockdown without hotspots under load. With the Body Geometry Natural Last, it's the most comfortable S-Works Recon build Specialized has put out for long-distance XC and gravel."

Why We Like It

PowerHug's 20% increase in contact surface gives the dual Li2 BOA dials a wider platform to tension against, producing a more even pressure distribution than a narrower closure point allows. The Body Geometry Natural Last cuts forefoot pressure by 44%, a meaningful advantage over a full race day. Replaceable rubber pontoons at the toe and heel protect the carbon outsole on technical terrain without adding permanent weight.
