Darkness, light, speed - three elements so intertwined they cannot exist without one another. While nothing in the universe moves faster than light, darkness persists before and after. Inspired by this interplay and the futuristic landscapes traversed by Specialized riders, the Speed of Light collection is a fusion of bikes and equipment, creating their most striking collection yet.
What defines the perfect cycling shoe? Is it exceptional power transfer? Superior comfort? Undeniable style? The answer is a resounding "yes" to all. With the S-Works 7 Road, there are no compromises.
Specialized have taken an uncompromising approach to maximise power transfer to your pedals. The Powerline™ carbon sole, lighter and stiffer, is the result of the same team behind Rider-First Engineering, marking their lightest and stiffest carbon outsole to date. The Padlock™ Heel has been completely refined for added comfort while maintaining exceptional heel retention. Moreover, the space-grade Dyneema™ material in the upper ensures minimal stretch, keeping your foot securely in place. With these features combined, Specialized remain true to our motto: "every watt is sacred."
In the realm of comfort, Specialized have retained all beloved Body Geometry features such as the Longitudinal Arch, Varus Wedge, and Metatarsal Button. Each of these features has been ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to not only boost power but also increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury. They've also considered luxury by designing the S-Works 7 to blend form with function, featuring bonded seams for a clean, contoured fit akin to slipper-like comfort. The custom CNC’d alloy Boa® dials add both style and functionality, boasting durable spring clutch internals and precise one-millimetre micro-adjustments for the perfect fit every time.
The S-Works 7 embodies our expertise in footwear, condensed into one shoe with no compromises or shortcuts—just explosive speed and superior comfort.
