A Completely Redesigned Fit
The S-Works Torch has been built around a completely new shoe last. Using RETÜL fit data collected from thousands of cyclists, Specialized reshaped the forefoot and heel to create a more natural fit, providing additional room where needed while maintaining outstanding foot stability under power.
The asymmetrical heel cup improves Achilles comfort while securely holding the foot during hard accelerations, sprinting, and long climbs.
Maximum Pedaling Efficiency
The unidirectional carbon outsole incorporates an internal I-Beam structure that minimizes weight while delivering exceptional stiffness. Every watt produced by the rider is transferred efficiently to the pedals for maximum performance.
The reinforced forefoot further enhances stability throughout every phase of the pedal stroke, helping riders maintain consistent power output.
Body Geometry Ergonomics
Like all premium Specialized footwear, the S-Works Torch incorporates Body Geometry technology, scientifically developed to optimize the alignment of the foot, knee, and hip.
Features including the Varus Wedge, longitudinal arch support, and metatarsal button help reduce fatigue, improve stability, and enhance pedaling efficiency during long rides.
Latest-Generation BOA® Fit System
The dual BOA® Fit System with S3 dials allows independent adjustment of the forefoot and upper sections of the shoe, providing fast, precise, and fully customizable fit adjustments—even while riding.
