From the outset of the Specialized Torch 3.0 road shoe design process Specialized's goal was to create a performance offering as feature-packed as any top-end shoe.
The challenge however was pulling this off at a palatable price.
In order to achieve this we utilised three strategically placed materials on the uppers that are welded together TPU and mesh in the front and synthetic leather in the rear. This makes for a more comfortable and supportive front of the shoe. A stiff rear and heel cup meanwhile lock down your heel and keep all of your watts going into the pedals as efficiently as possible.
This refined upper is combined with the legendary FACT carbon fibre sole to further ensure an efficient power transfer. Finally Specialized topped the torch 3.0 off with two BOA S2-SV snap dials for zonal closure and a precise fit that leads to all-day comfort.
Whether you’re hunting for Strava PRs or looking to ride big elevation, the all-new Torch 3.0 is the perfect companion. Combining classic aesthetics, premium construction, and elevated comfort, the all-new Torch 3.0 is a not-so-distant relative to its S-Works counterpart. Sharing key features like a unidirectional carbon plate, dual-zone BOA® closure, and a seamless upper, the Torch 3.0 is an efficient, comfortable, and dependable performance shoe.
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 3.0 Specialized road shoes, 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.
