The S-Works Torch is Specialized’s most advanced road racing shoe, engineered for a precise fit, superior power transfer, and lasting comfort. Its tongue-less, Dyneema-reinforced upper adapts to the foot’s shape while reducing pressure points. Dual BOA® LW-6 dials provide micro-adjustable, uniform lockdown. The FACT Powerline carbon sole with an internal I-Beam delivers industry-leading stiffness for direct power delivery, and the asymmetric heel cup supports natural knee alignment. Perforations throughout the upper enhance airflow, making these shoes perform as well in hot conditions as they do under full sprint load.
