Specialized Torch 2.0 - 46, Deep Marine/terra Cotta, 2025

If you're ready to upgrade to a high-performance option that looks good and wears great, the Torch 2.0 is the perfect choice for you. The Torch 2.0 is the perfect combination of high performance and comfort, offering you a pair of shoes you can rely on whether you're joining their first group ride or strapping into a spin bike to work up a sweat. Body Geometry Methodology: the human body evolved to walk, not pedal, which leads to loss of power due to foot collapse, poor alignment 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 address these issues with three patented technologies - Varus Wedge, Longitudinal Arch Support & Metatarsal Protrusion - that provide a painless increase in power that is validated by scientific testing and two decades of well-documented performance. COMFORT: For a secure fit, the Torch 2.0 utilizes the only premium Li2 Boa dial with Dyneema softlace laces, which consist of fiber that eliminates unnecessary stretching and uses soft woven guides for added comfort. Plus, the fully perforated, seamless upper eliminates stitching inside the shoe that can cause upper foot irritation. The seamless upper is also fully laser perforated for increased ventilation. Off-the-round confidence: Large rubber grips on the toe and heel outsole provide a stable, grippy platform for a smooth transition from the bike to your local coffee shop and give riders more confidence when bouncing off the pavement or stopping at a traffic light. Overall, the rubber grips help the shoe grip the concrete for a carefree, stabilizing feel when not on. Body Geometry's outsole construction and shoe inserts have been ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to increase strength, efficiency, endurance and reduce the risk of injury by optimizing hip, knee and foot alignment. The carbon sole is stiff but lightweight, with a large rubber heel and toe for off-the-wheel traction. BOA Li2 controller for bi-directional micro-adjustment and quick release, forefoot strap for fine-tuning fit. Seamless synthetic upper for a flexible fit. Full-length laser perforations enhance breathability. Inner heel counter provides a stable and secure heel fit. Three-bolt system conforms to all major road pedal systems. Approximate weight: 268 g (1/2 pair, size 42).
