Specialized Torch 2.0

Specialized TORCH 2.0

If you're ready to move on from your first road shoes and are looking for a more powerful option that not only looks good but also feels good, then the Torch 2.0 is the perfect upgrade for you. Whether you're on your first group ride or on the rollers at home, you'll love these shoes.

BODY GEOMETRY TECHNOLOGY: Unfortunately, the human body was designed for walking, not cycling. Riders often pay for this evolutionary error with foot, knee, and hip misalignments, as well as discomfort. We solve these problems with Body Geometry technology. The Toch 2.0 features our varus wedge, longitudinal arch support, and metatarsal pad. Thanks to optimal alignment of your legs and feet and unhindered circulation, you can increase your performance pain-free. This has been proven by two decades of Retül testing.

COMFORT: The Torch 2.0 features a BOA® Li2 dial closure with Dyneema® Softlace. These cords are made of a special fiber that prevents unwanted tension and increases comfort. The synthetic upper is constructed from a single piece and is fully laser-perforated for ventilation. This manufacturing technique eliminates seams that can potentially rub against the instep.

OFF THE BIKE: Large rubber surfaces on the front of the sole and heel provide plenty of grip when transitioning from the bike to the café. They make life easier in so many ways: getting on and off, stopping at traffic lights, and clipping in. For more confidence on the pavement.

• Soles and insoles with Body Geometry technology are ergonomically designed and scientifically proven – for more performance, greater efficiency and a lower risk of injury due to the optimal alignment of hips, knees and feet.
• Woven carbon soles are extremely stiff and lightweight, and large rubber surfaces at the front and back provide sufficient grip when walking.
• The BOA® Li2 dials can be adjusted in both directions and have a quick-release function.
• The fully perforated upper material for ventilation is also made from a single piece for added comfort.
• Internal heel caps provide plenty of support and securely enclose the heels.
• The pedal plate mount has three threaded inserts and is therefore compatible with all conventional racing bike pedals.
• A shoe in size 42 weighs approximately 268 grams.
