The Lenz Sport Recon Ski Bike takes the riding style of our famous Launch skibike into a lighter weight package. The Recon is an exceptional all-around ski bike for all riders. The lightweight frame and SecuREST system make loading the chairlift easy for anyone. This Skibike is perfect for riding groomers, moguls, trees, powder, freestyle terrain, and back country. If you are looking for the best all-around SkiBike for an exceptional value, this is the SkiBike for you. The Recon will impress the best Skibikers and also bring an intermediate rider up to the next level. The Recon features a lightweight aluminum frame with proprietary Lenz Sport geometry, built from over 20 years of riding ski bikes. Assembled right here in our Colorado factory with quality components, the Recon is the SkiBike for the masses. Get yours ordered now. Recon SkiBike frames are kept in stock, and components are hand picked for each customer and assembled in-house after the order is placed.
What’s the difference between the Launch and Recon? If we were to speak in terms of mountain bikes, the Launch is like a dedicated downhill bike whereas the Recon is a long travel Enduro. The Recon will do anything and go anywhere the Launch will go. Don’t be fooled by the “lighter and simpler”…the Recon is still a very capable all-mountain bike. You won’t be disappointed.
If the rider is new to skibiking or wants to improve their riding skill set, check out our How to ride a SkiBike page. There is a lot of good information on both the SkiBike FAQ page as well as the Ski Bike Assembly & Good Info page.
*All Lenz Sport Ski Bike frames are 100% handmade. We are constantly improving our designs. We don’t wait for the next model year to introduce improvements. Our design philosophy is to make incremental improvements as we design them. This means that every batch of Recon frames might be a little different from the last one. Your frame may look slightly different than what you see on the the images we have on the website. One thing we never do is go backwards in design. We are always moving forward and making our products better. We design, build, and ride our bikes regularly, so the improvement ideas are constantly brewing and adapting into production.

I bought a Recon so that I could dip my toe in the ski bike pool. So much fun! The only draw back is I wish I had just spent a little more right away and gotten a ride with a little better suspension. These do well, but when I got stuck on the mogul run, that is when having a more plush ride would have been nice. As a former snowboarder I was really surprised at how easy it was to learn.

I ABSOLUTELY love my Recon. After a very serious leg injury consisting of a triple open and double open compound fracture on my right leg from snowboarding 2 years ago, ski biking saved my winter season. The Recon is a great all mountain style bike with top of the line performance. Standard skis are great for learning and for bumps/moguls and all around groomer type days. Highly recommend the Big Fat Skidders for their stability on groomers and in powder. THEY CHARGE THOUGH ANYTHING! This is the bike for someone who knows they will grow into it, keep progressing and looking for a reliable piece of equipment. For anyone looking to get into ski biking this is the right choice!

I have two other ski bikes and needed an upgrade. After doing my research, the LENZE Recon was my choice. The Recon can handle any situation on the mountain. This bike is Beefy and superior in build quality, with better hardware, down to the nuts, bolts, bearings and suspension parts! Yes, this is a premium ski bike with high standards, that sets the benchmark! Built with American Craftsmanship! Where else can you have a choice of custom paint colors, handlebars, skiis, and FOX shocks. With customer service that gives you that personal experience. You will be the talk of the mountain.
