Shoes

If you're ready to step up to a higher-performing option that looks good and feels great, the Torch 2.0 is the perfect upgrade for you. The Torch 2.0 is the ideal intersection of high performance and comfort, offering you a pair of shoes you can count on, whether you’re joining their first group ride or clipping into the spin bike to get their sweat on. Body Geometry Methodology: The human body evolved to walk, not pedal, which leads to power-robbing foot collapse, misalignment of the foot, knee, and hip, as well as “hot foot” in traditional cycling shoes. The Torch 2.0, like every Body Geometry shoe, helps solve these problems with three patented technologies - Varus Wedge, Longitudinal Arch & Metatarsal Button - to deliver a pain-free increase in power that’s validated by scientific testing and two decades of well-documented ass kicking. Comfort: For a secure fit, the Torch 2.0 utilizes a singular, premium Li2 Boa dial with Dyneema softlace cables - comprised of a fiber that eliminates unnecessary stretch and uses soft woven guides for added comfort. Additionally, the fully perforated, seamless upper eliminates stitching within the shoe that can cause irritation to the top of the foot. The seamless upper is also fully laser-perforated for increased ventilation. Off-Bike Confidence: Large rubber grips on the outsole of the toe and heel provide a stable, grippy platform for a seamless transition off the bike and into your local coffee shop and provide more confidence for riders when pushing off pavement to clip in or coming to a stop at a traffic light. All in all, the rubber grips help the shoe grab onto concrete for a worry-free, stabilizing feel when not clipped in. - Body Geometry sole construction and footbeds are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power, increase efficiency, and reduce chance of injury by optimizing hip, knee, and foot alignment. - Woven Carbon sole engineered to be stiff, yet light with a large rubber heel and toe for off-the-bike traction. - BOA Li2 dial for dual direction micro-adjustments and pop release, forefoot strap for fine-tuning fit. - Seamless Synthetic upper for a supple fit. All over laser perforation added breathability. - Internal heel counter provides a supportive and secure heel fit. - Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals. - Approximate weight: 268g (1/2 pair, Size 42).

Look good, feel good, ride good—and adage as old as cycling itself… That’s the idea behind the new Recon ADV, where riding in style is just as important as the actual ride. This gravel shoe checks all the boxes in the aesthetics department but is no slouch when it comes to cranking out miles. Recon ADV is suited for the rider who values adventure, time on the bike, and needs an all-day shoe that will keep going when the gravel ends. Recon ADV’s excellent walkability is made possible by STRIDE toe-flex technology, providing a more natural feeling for off-the-bike adventuring. Don’t let the good looks fool you, this shoe is also built inside-out with our Body Geometry technology, making it a menace on the pedals. Driven by nearly two decades of development and validated by data, we ensure there is no pain points, only performance, where your body meets the bike. Through our creation of the Varus Wedge, Longitudinal Arch, and Metatarsal Button, your feet stay in their most optimal position when pedaling—as well as inline with your knee and hips. - STRIDE toe-flex technology allows greater toe flex for steep inclines inclines and improved walkability - Laser perforated upper features microfiber backing for better moisture management and supple feeling - Ride or hike in confidence with a TPU mudguard that offers protection from stone strikes - Pontoons create a stable pedal platform as well as aiding walking feel - Greater SlipNot rubber tread coverage on sole that’s optimized for gravel traction - Features proven Body Geometry technology like the Varus Wedge to maintain efficient and comfortable hip, knee, and foot alignment while riding

The all-new S-Works Torch Lace delivers the timeless, refined style of a lace-up with an unprecedented level of efficiency, lightweight, and comfort thanks to Body Geometry. It all adds up to a shoe that disappears on your foot, yet begs to be seen. Like every shoe we make, the S-Works Torch Lace starts with Body Geometry - identify a problem, solve it with design, and validate it with science - to improve comfort, increase performance, and reduce the chance of injury for every rider. Comfort: The S-Works Torch Lace utilizes our new forefoot shape - 4mm wider than the S-Works 7 - based on extensive 3D foot scans and Retül data. The upper features remapped zonal layering throughout. It remains incredibly supple to adapt to different foot shapes, yet won’t stretch over a long day in the saddle to ensure a secure, consistent fit. An asymmetric heel counter reduces hard touch points against the ankle and still delivers knee stability validated by our Human Performance team. Efficiency: Every Body Geometry shoe optimizes ankle, knee, and hip alignment for a stable and pedal stroke with our patented Varus Wedge, a 1.5mm outward tilt to the outsole.

From recent road converts, to sultans of gravel speed, the new S-Works Recon delivers pavement-bred performance to the gravel discipline. Guided by more than 100,000 foot scans from our RETÜL fit data, we 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 an intentional fit, that's stiff, comfortable, and tunable—to put the power down. Inside and out, Body Geometry technology is baked into the S-Works Recon. Driven by nearly two decades of development and validated by data, we ensure there is no pain points, only performance, where your body meets the bike. Through our creation of the Varus Wedge, Longitudinal Arch, and Metatarsal Button, your feet stay in their most optimal position when pedaling—as well as in line with your knee and hips. - High-density pontoons and new shims allow riders to tune their pedal interface for maximum efficiency and a road-like pedal platform - Features Body Geometry technology by way of the Varus Wedge, a Longitudinal Arch, and Metatarsal Button - Asymmetrical heel counter supports the medial side while removing material from the lateral side, allowing for a lower collar. - Using an Internal I-Beam adds stiffness and strength—eliminating the need for additional bracing and allowing the shoe to stay extremely lightweight - Zoned reinforcement across quarter and forefoot maximizes support while the updated BOA® routing improves lockdown—eliminating the need for a toe strap - Additional 3mm, 6mm, and 9mm pontoon shims for leg length discrepancy and cleat stacker available through Specialized Rider Care. - For a wider fit — the new base plate is 4mm wider than the standard width (8mm wider than S-Works Recon Mountain Bike Shoes). - 280g for a size 156

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, we engineered a shoe so thoughtfully constructed that you’ll forget you’re wearing it. Leveraging data science, we refined every detail of the S-Works Torch’s upper 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 our RETÜL fit data, we 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. Following RETÜL biomechanical data, we created an asymmetric heel cup that supports natural knee alignment and delivers the positive hold riders love while enhancing comfort by accommodating more room for the Achilles heel. The S-Works Torch is scientifically crafted to disappear on your feet and off the front. - New upper features reinforcement in key zones while also offering fit zones to create a disappearing fit on the foot. - Based on data gathered from Retül foot scans, the new base plate is 4mm wider at the ball than the previous generation of S-Works 7 shoe. - By optimizing its construction, the new carbon plate is 20g lighter than the S-Works 7.
