What makes the perfect cycling shoe? Is it exceptional power transfer? Superior Comfort? Undeniable style? The simple answer is "yes" to all of the above. With the S-Works 7 Road, you get shoes with no compromises.

The S-Works Torch is the latest evolution of the winningest footwear in cycling. Using Body Geometry together with biomimicry, data science, and obsessive craftsmanship, Specialized engineered a shoe so thoughtfully constructed that you’ll forget you’re wearing it.

When the moment comes for an attack in the hills, a long solo move, or a full gas sprint for the line, every watt counts, which is why Specialized designed the S-Works Ares to be the most efficient and powerful performance shoe ever made. They combined decades of Body Geometry development with obsessive innovation working with the world’s best athletes to completely reimagine the race shoe. An entirely new, patent-pending closure system, Dyneema®-reinforced toungless sock, and ultra-stiff FACT Powerline™ carbon outsole eliminate foot roll, reduce pressure on tendons, and transfer every ounce of power to the pedals for unprecedented performance and comfort. It’s 1% faster than any shoe Specialized has ever made, and at the finish line, that’s all that matters.

Specialized spent some time thinking how to describe their new S-Works 6 XC mountain bike shoes, and really, their selling point is pretty easy—they're the lightest, most connected XC race shoes in the world. They're not just light, although they are only 270 grams per shoe, but it's more about the blend of low weight and incredible performance. They feature Specialized stiffest and lightest carbon fiber outsole for pedaling efficiency and feedback, while they borrow some unparalleled traits from the road version of the S-Works 6 for explosive speed and superior comfort. The speed comes as a direct result of an incredible fit and better connection, delivering more efficiency and power to the pedal. The new PadLock™ heel, combined with revolutionary strong and lightweight materials in the upper, creates a snug fit that's incredibly secure. The Result? You have a shoe that helps transfer more of your energy into the pedals when you crank up the watts. Add to that the legendary performance and adjustability of the dual-Boa® closure system and the S-Works 6 becomes more than just a shoe, it allows you and your bike to work seamlessly together with maximum efficiency.

Designed for the demands of World Cup XC racers Christoph Sauser and Bury Stander, this ultra-light and stiff carbon shoe offers Body Geometry performance and Boa dial adjustability.

KOM/QOM chasers, race podium challengers, and all devotees of speed no longer need to sacrifice comfort, durability, or off-the-bike capability when searching for an efficient, race-ready shoe with the scientifically proven performance benefits of Body Geometry. A shoe that looks good, feels good, and is light yet capable can be hard to find — until now.

The Torch 2.0 Road shoes are all about comfort—well, comfort and performance that is. Due to the materials, road shoes often feel stiff and uncomfortable. Specialized decided to address this annoyance head on, though. To do so, we've implemented a 100% mesh and TPU construction on the Torch 2.0 that allows for more wiggle room in the toe box and a less constrictive, sock-like feel. The upper is then paired with our medium-stiffness FACT carbon sole and a rubber heel and toe that provide the perfect degree of off-the-bike traction. For the closure, they added a single lightweight Boa® IP1 dial that features tool-free snap replacement capability, while also providing simple, on-the-fly micro-adjustments.

Born from the needs of our professional downhill racers (Loïc/Finn), we designed and built the 2FO Clip 2.0 for one purpose—to win races. Premium downhill and trail shoes need to be more than just protective and stiff, though. They also have to be lighter, faster-drying, and be secure both in and out of the pedal. The 2FO Clip 2.0 checks all these boxes, while also including our Body Geometry features that keep your hips, knees, and feet aligned to give you the most out of every pedal stroke. Take these shoes for a ride and see why they’ve already won four World Cups and one World Championship under Loïc.

When the weather is a problem, Specialized have the solution. Their new waterproof and fully insulated Defroster with Body Geometry technology will keep your feet warm and dry no matter how bad the conditions may be.
