Body Geometry: Just like every Body Geometry shoe, the Recon 1.0 is meticulously engineered and scientifically validated to enhance comfort, elevate performance, and mitigate the risk of injury for riders of all levels, thanks to patented technology. It's also been shown to boost power output by an impressive 7 watts, as proven by scientific research.
Stride Technology: With Stride technology, the Recon 1.0 boasts a flexible outsole and upper around the toe box, coupled with a rigid cleat pocket. This unique construction allows the shoe to effortlessly flex during walking while maintaining stiffness and efficiency during pedaling.
Efficiency: Equipped with an L6 Boa Dial featuring soft-lace cables crafted from Dyneema yarn, the Recon 1.0 eliminates unwanted stretch and offers a more supple upper that moulds comfortably to the foot. Additionally, the optimised outsole ensures balanced stiffness, maximising power transfer to the pedal.
The Body Geometry sole and footbed are purpose-built and scientifically endorsed to enhance power output, improve efficiency, and reduce the risk of injury by optimising alignment of the hip, knee, and foot. The Injection STRIDE toe-flex technology further enables natural toe movement off the bike while maintaining stiffness for pedaling (stiffness index 6.0).
With an L6 BOA® Dial featuring soft-lace cables made from Dyneema yarn and SlipNot™ rubber tread for reliable traction on any terrain, the Recon 1.0 offers versatility and performance in equal measure. Plus, its two-bolt cleat pattern ensures compatibility with all major MTB pedals.
