If you're ready to step up to a higher-performing option that looks good and feels great, the Torch 2.0 is the perfect upgrade for you. Specialized's Torch 2.0 is the ideal intersection of high performance and comfort, offering you a pair of shoes you can count on, whether you’re joining their first group ride or clipping into the spin bike to get their sweat on.
Body Geometry Methodology
The human body evolved to walk, not pedal, which leads to power-robbing foot collapse, misalignment of the foot, knee, and hip, as well as “hot foot” in traditional cycling shoes. The Torch 2.0, like every Body Geometry shoe, helps solve these problems with three patented technologies - Varus Wedge, Longitudinal Arch & Metatarsal Button - to deliver a pain-free increase in power that’s validated by scientific testing and two decades of well-documented ass kicking.
Comfort
For a secure fit, the Torch 2.0 utilizes a singular, premium Li2 Boa dial with soft woven guides for added comfort. Additionally, the fully perforated, seamless upper eliminates stitching within the shoe that can cause irritation to the top of the foot. The seamless upper is also fully laser-perforated for increased ventilation.
Off-Bike Confidence
Large rubber grips on the outsole of the toe and heel provide a stable, grippy platform for a seamless transition off the bike and into your local coffee shop and provide more confidence for riders when pushing off pavement to clip in or coming to a stop at a traffic light. All in all, the rubber grips help the shoe grab onto concrete for a worry-free, stabilizing feel when not clipped in.
