The Specialized S-Works Ares 2 Road represent the pinnacle of Specialized’s road cycling shoe range. Designed for riders who demand maximum efficiency, stability, and power, they are engineered with Body Geometry technology to optimize pedaling biomechanics and reduce energy loss.
This standard version retains all the core technical features of the S-Works Ares 2 platform, delivering an extremely precise fit and a direct connection between foot and pedal, making it ideal for racing, high-intensity training, and long endurance rides.
The S-Works Ares 2 is designed to create a direct connection between foot and pedal, minimizing internal movement and maximizing power transfer during sprints, climbs, and sustained efforts.
The dual BOA® Li2 system increases contact surface by 20%, improving pressure distribution and ensuring a highly stable fit even under maximum load.
Body Geometry technology is engineered to improve alignment between foot, knee, and hip, reduce pressure points, and optimize pedaling efficiency. This leads to better power transfer and reduced fatigue over long distances.
Specialized testing shows up to 7 watts of additional power and up to a 44% reduction in forefoot pressure.
The reinforced heel cup reduces heel lift during the pedal stroke, improving overall efficiency. The internal structure ensures a secure, pressure-free fit even during prolonged efforts.
The unidirectional carbon sole provides exceptional stiffness and immediate responsiveness, while the engineered upper wraps the foot securely and comfortably for long-duration performance.
