The S-Works Torch is the latest evolution of cycling’s most successful shoe. Using Body Geometry coupled with biomimicry, data science and obsessive craftsmanship, we’ve designed a shoe so carefully constructed you’ll forget you’re wearing it.

Leveraging data science, we’ve fine-tuned every detail of the S-Works Torch upper to improve fit and performance. The BOA cable is offset downward and at an angle, preventing lift off the ball of the foot and providing structure that improves power while eliminating unwanted pressure or pinching. Adaptive materials allow natural foot movement when needed for comfort, while data-driven zonal reinforcement keeps the foot locked in for crisp power delivery and optimal efficiency.

Guided by over 100,000 foot scans of our RETL fit data, we recognized that both a standard and wide carbon baseplate would best serve the spectrum of human foot shapes. An internal I-beam adds rigidity and strength, eliminating the need for additional bracing. The result is a 20 gram weight reduction, increased efficiency and immediate power transfer.

Following biomechanical data from RETL, we’ve created an asymmetrical heel counter that promotes natural knee alignment and provides the positive support that cyclists love, while improving comfort by leaving more room for the Achilles.The S -Works Torch is scientifically designed to disappear on your feet and forefoot.
