The S-Works Torch is the latest evolution of the winningest footwear in cycling.
Using Body Geometry together with biomimicry, data science, and obsessive craftsmanship, Specialized engineered a shoe so thoughtfully constructed that you'll forget you're wearing it. Every detail of the S-Works Torch's upper was refined for improved fit and performance.
The BOA cable is shifted down and angled, preventing lift on the ball of the foot and delivering power-enhancing structure while eliminating unwanted pressure or pinching. Adaptive materials allow natural movement of the foot where needed for comfort, while data-driven zonal reinforcement keeps the foot secured for crisp power delivery and optimal efficiency.
Guided by more than 100,000 foot scans from Retül fit data, Specialized recognized that both a standard and a wide carbon base plate would best serve the spectrum of human foot shapes. An internal I-beam adds stiffness and strength, eliminating the need for additional bracing. The result is a 20-gram weight reduction, enhanced efficiency, and immediate power transfer.
Specialized's Body Geometry philosophy is built into every shoe, supporting hip, knee, and foot alignment. Features like the Varus Wedge, Metatarsal Button, and Longitudinal Arch help prevent nerve impingement, arterial compression, and arch collapse, while maximizing power transfer and comfort.
