S-Works Torch Road Shoe Specialized 2024 Red Sky

The S-Works Torch is the latest evolution of the most winning cycling shoe.

Using Body Geometry along with biomimicry, data science, and obsessive craftsmanship, we have designed a shoe so carefully constructed that you will forget you are wearing it. Leveraging data science, we have refined every detail of the S-Works Torch's upper to enhance fit and performance.

The BOA® cable is shifted downward and angled, preventing the ball of the foot from lifting and providing a structure that enhances power while eliminating unwanted pressure or pinching. Adaptable materials allow for natural foot movement when needed for comfort, while data-driven zonal reinforcement keeps the foot secured for crisp power delivery and optimal efficiency.

Guided by over 100,000 foot scans from our RETÜL fit data, we recognized that both a standard and 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 reinforcement. The result is a 20-gram weight reduction, increased efficiency, and immediate power transfer.

Following RETÜL's biomechanical data, we created an asymmetrical heel cup that promotes natural knee alignment and provides the positive hold cyclists love while enhancing comfort by allowing more space for the Achilles heel. The S-Works Torch is scientifically designed to disappear on your feet and in the forefoot.
