Specialized S-Works Torch shoes - Year of the Horse

Biomechanical Innovation and Uncompromising Performance

The Specialized S-Works Torch - Year of the Horse represents the pinnacle of evolution in professional cycling footwear. Developed through Skinsuit Geometry, advanced biomimetics and data analysis from over 100,000 RETÜL plantar scans, this shoe is built with a precision so refined that it literally disappears on your foot. Every detail of the upper has been refined to ensure a custom fit and unmatched performance. The downward-angled BOA® closure system eliminates forefoot lift and the need for Velcro, creating a structure that amplifies the power transfer without unwanted pressure. Adaptive materials allow natural foot movement where needed, while data-driven zone reinforcements maintain an optimal wrap for a crisp power output.

Lightweight and Superior Energy Efficiency

The sole design combines structural rigidity with a weight reduction of 20 grams, ensuring an immediate power transfer and reactive performance. This internal reinforcement adds durability without compromise, ensuring optimal energy efficiency during every pedal stroke. RETÜL technology guided every design choice, recognizing that both a standard and a wide sole meet the full spectrum of human foot shapes. The result is a shoe that not only reduces fatigue but also maximizes the cyclist's biomechanical performance.

Anatomic Comfort and Optimal Alignment

The asymmetric heel counter, designed to better accommodate the Achilles tendon, significantly increases comfort while maintaining an optimal knee alignment. This innovative solution resolves the issue of insufficient space while preserving an excellent structural connection. The S-Works Torch represents the result of rigorous scientific research, where every element has been optimized to offer extended comfort, stability, and unparalleled pedaling efficiency in competitive cycling.
