The Specialized S-Works Torch represents the latest evolution in the field of the most winning footwear in cycling. Using Body Geometry, biomimicry, data science, and craftsmanship, Specialized has designed a shoe so meticulously constructed that you'll forget you're wearing it. Leveraging data science, Specialized has refined every detail of the S-Works Torch upper for a better fit and unparalleled performance. The BOA® cable is positioned lower and angled, preventing the forefoot from lifting. This evolution eliminates the need for a Velcro strap while providing a structure that enhances power and eliminates unwanted pressure or pinching. Adaptive materials allow for natural foot movement where necessary for greater comfort, while data-driven zonal reinforcement keeps the foot wrapped for sharp power output and optimal efficiency. Guided by over 100,000 foot scans from RETÜL data, Specialized recognized that both a standard and a wide sole would be suitable to best accommodate the full spectrum of human foot shapes. An internal reinforcement adds stiffness and durability. The result is a weight reduction of 20 grams, increased efficiency, and immediate power transfer. Also based on RETÜL data, it was assessed that more space was needed to accommodate the Achilles tendon in order to increase comfort. The issue was resolved by creating an asymmetrical heel cup that offered more space while maintaining an excellent connection. This was verified to maintain optimal knee alignment and increased comfort. The S-Works Torch has been scientifically crafted to disappear on your feet.

• Wide fit.
• The new upper features reinforcements where needed, while being flexible enough to 'disappear' from your feet.
• Based on Retül data collected from foot scans, the sole is 4mm wider than the S-Works 7 model.
• The carbon sole shape is optimized through the addition of reinforcement and eliminating excess material buildup around the perimeter. The result is a weight reduction of 20 grams, increased efficiency, and immediate power transfer.
• Thanks to Retül data, with the updated shape we better accommodate cyclists' feet, with a snug fit.
• An asymmetrical heel cup supports the medial side and allows for material removal from the sides and the use of a lower collar.
• The change in the BOA® cable improves grip while simultaneously reducing pressure on the anterior ankle ligaments.
• BOA® S3-Snap Fit system with independent micro-adjustment, with Boa® warranty.
• The titanium threaded inserts can be reversed to move the cleat back by up to 5mm. Compatible with all major pedals with three-bolt cleats.
• Rear anti-slip and easily replaceable cleat.
• Color: White.
