Product news: As the name suggests, the new Specialized S-Works Recon Lace ensures a timeless look with a lacing system and combines it with the body geometry features known from the Recon, high-quality performance and long durability. The laces should not only ensure a unique look off the asphalt, but also one enable precise adjustment and pleasant wearing comfort with appropriate pressure distribution.
When it comes to gravel, style is one, if not the most important factor. It doesn't matter whether it's a bike or equipment. That's exactly why Specialized has redesigned the S-Works Recon and equipped it with a lacing system to give it a timeless look. Nevertheless, Specialized's tried-and-tested properties for a first-class driving experience and sporty performance have not been neglected.
The LACE system should make many people prick up their ears at first, because in times of ever-improving closure systems and high-tech knobs, shoelaces seem to be a step backwards. But far from it, because in addition to a classic look, you want to have found out that you can use the lacing system to achieve perfect power distribution and precise adjustment and a pleasant feeling the first time you put them on. In order to keep the look of the S-Works Recon Lace as clean as possible, any superfluous hardware was also removed from the upper of the shoe.
Additionally, the S-Works Recon Lace is built with the same high-performance, high-profile carbon outsole found on the S-Works Recon shoes. This incredibly stiff carbon sole should also ensure that no power is lost on the new gravel shoe.
