The Torch 2.0 Road shoes are all about comfort and performance. Road shoes often feel stiff and uncomfortable due to the materials they are made from which is why Specialized implemented a 100% mesh and TPU construction on the Torch 2.0 that allows for more wiggle room in the toe box and a less constrictive, sock-like feel. The upper is then paired with a medium-stiffness FACT carbon sole, and a rubber heel and toe that provide the perfect degree of off-the-bike traction. A single lightweight Boa® IP1 dial was added for the closure that features tool-free snap replacement capability, while also providing simple, on-the-fly micro-adjustments.
- Body Geometry sole construction and footbeds are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power, increase efficiency, and reduce chance of injury by optimising hip, knee, and foot alignment.
- Carbon sole with a 7.0 Stiffness Index is engineered to be moderately stiff, yet light with a rubber heel and toe for off-the-bike traction.
- Lightweight Boa® IP1 dial closure for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the Boa® Lifetime Guarantee.
- Mesh and TPU upper for a supple fit.
- Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals.
- Approximate weight: 235g (1/2 pair, Size 42)
VARUS WEDGE
With a 1.5mm built-in Varus Wedge, Body Geometry shoes stabilise the natural movement of your forefoot and improve foot, knee and hip alignment, which increases power output and adds an average of 10 seconds to your time to exhaustion during maximum efforts.
LONGITUDINAL ARCH
The foot is built like a leaf spring. Great for running, bad for riding. Body Geometry shoes are designed with patented, moulded arch support in the outsole to create a rigid structure, which is paired with customisable footbeds to prevent foot collapse and increase power.
METATARSAL BUTTON
Ready to banish hot spots and numbness from your ride? By lifting and separating the bones of the forefoot, Specialized's Metatarsal Button prevents impinging and compressing nearby nerves and arteries so you can say goodbye to the foot issues that used to plague riders.
