Specialized (United States) - Press Release: Performance at every level.

Passing the torch:

It’s a phrase that means to pass wisdom, knowledge, and expertise to another, but with Torch road shoes, it’s not just symbolic. We take innovations, refined through developing shoes for the world’s best athletes, and pass them on to you. Performance at every level—which Torch will you take?

Unmatched innovation:

The S-Works 7 Road shoes are our pinnacle high-performance offering, but the innovation and spirit that goes into making them the world-beaters they are is passed on to you with the Torch family of shoes. Each boasts the same performance mindset, Body Geometry comfort, and style of the S-Works 7, but at a level ready-made for your cycling journey.

Whatever your goals, there’s a Torch for you.

Torch 3.0 - Lay Down The Power:

This is as near to the S-Works 7 as you can get, with the quick-adjust convenience of two Boa® dials, and the stiffest carbon sole in the Torch line to ensure you lay down some serious watts. It’s the best of innovation passed on—all the premium performance benefits with none of the pro-price.

Torch 2.0 - Level-Up, Weekend Warrior:

The Torch 2.0 keeps the power transfer high with a carbon sole and mid-level stiffness, but where the Torch 2.0 really shines is how comfortable it feels. With its super-soft upper, this is truly a "ride all day" shoe for those serious about performance and comfort.

All-New Torch 1.0 - More Bang, Less Buck:

Want on-the-fly Boa® dial adjustability at a wallet-friendly price? Meet the Torch 1.0. Featuring a stiff nylon sole to help you lay down the watts, all the comfort and performance of a Body Geometry shoe, and did we mention style points? It’s enough to make a pro drool.
