The RockShox Recon Silver sets a new benchmark for value-based performance. Recon represents a perfect partnership between Reba’s venerable crown and lower legs and Recon’s bombproof steel upper tubes. Adopting the Reba chassis allows the design team to employ shorter upper tubes, which means the Recon Silver just went on a serious weight-loss program. And with the addition of its now-standard Motion Control™ damper, the re-invented Recon is the new silver standard for fun.
