S-Works Torch Lace

Description

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 Specialized make. the S-Works Torch Lace starts with Body Geometry – identify a problem. solve it with design. 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 Specialized 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 Specialized Human Performance team.

Efficiency: Every Body Geometry shoe optimizes ankle. knee. and hip alignment for a stable and pedal stroke with Specialized patented Varus Wedge. a 1.5mm outward tilt to the outsole. Thanks to the lightweight retention of laces and watching every gram – from the carbon outsole to the upper material – the S-Works Torch Lace weigh a feathery 200 grams in size 42. With an internal ‘I-Beam’ the carbon outsole provides the ideal stiffness-to-weight ratio for big efforts without adding excess grams. optimized by working with the best riders in the world.

Style: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. and those who see the S-Works Torch Lace will get to admire them as long as they can hang on your wheel. With classic lines and understated colorways. the S-Works Torch Lace is at home whether you chase finish lines or mountain tops before sunset.
