S-Works Torch Road Shoe - Remco

All-New S-Works Torch Remco

When Remco called us and asked for more performance from his shoes—we gave him less. Weight, that is. The S-Works Torch Remco is the lightest shoe in the pro peloton at just 148.2g, 3 grams lighter than the closest competitor. Its minimalist design features a streamlined upper, smaller carbon plate, and single Boa Li2 Dial, delivering everything you need and nothing you don’t in a lightweight, efficient, and comfortable package. Built on our all-new Body Geometry Last, it reduces forefoot pressure by 44% for balanced support, comfort, and power transfer.

Body Geometry, Built to Perform
Body Geometry technology helps eliminate common issues like forefoot numbness, “hot foot,” arch collapse, knee pain, and instability—problems that compromise power, efficiency, and endurance while increasing the risk of injury.  These Body Geometry benefits don’t just make a 148.2 gram shoe efficient—they make it comfortable, too.

What’s New

·  A simplified upper with single-layer mesh, TPU, and a single BOA® Li2 Dial shaves 51.1g while maximizing fit and power transfer.

·  A low-profile, symmetrical, injected nylon heel counter delivers balanced support and lockdown for powerful, out-of-saddle efforts—without added weight.

·  Six years of outsole stiffness studies allowed the Human Performance team to find the exact level of stiffness needed for maximum power transfer—no more, no less. Reducing the carbon plate with injected nylon reinforcements trims 14g while maintaining stiffness and power transfer for Remco-level efforts.

Tour Tested, Podium Proven
Remco Evenepoel wore the final prototype of the S-Works Torch Remco in five key mountain stages of his debut Tour de France, including brutal climbs like the Col du Galibier and Pla d’Adet. With its distinctive orange detailing—a byproduct of factory fabric availability—the shoe became a symbol of the effort behind his performance and collaboration with the Specialized Shoe team. The result: a podium finish and the white jersey, proving the success of the S-Works Torch Remco on cycling’s biggest stage.

“It is crazy to think that in my first Tour de France, I raced five stages on a prototype shoe. But I trusted the shoe team at Specialized and knew what we created in partnership with each other was worthy of being tested at the Tour. It felt good to race, and the weight of the shoe enabled me to carry more water without weight penalties, helping me attack in the mountains like never before.” -Remco Evenepoel, 2x UCI World Champion & 2x Olympic Gold Medalist.
