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 you get a shoe with no compromises. We took a no holds barred approach to transferring every bit of your power to the pedals. The lighter and stiffer Powerline™ carbon sole is new and brought to you by the same team that developed Rider-First Engineering. Why's this special? Because it led to our lightest and stiffest carbon outsole to date. A completely refined Padlock™ Heel meanwhile packs in more comfort with the same exceptional heel hold that you found in the previous iteration. And finally the space-grade Dyneema™ material used in the upper doesn’t stretch when pulled on making sure that your foot stays where it’s supposed to. With these all features combined you can be sure that we’ve kept in line with the motto “every watt is sacred.” In the comfort arena we kept all of the Body Geometry features you know and love like the Longitudinal Arch Varus Wedge and Metatarsal Button. Each one of these features have been ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to not only boost power but also to increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury. We also took luxury into account by designing the S-Works 7 to have form that complements its function so you'll find seams that are bonded together rather than sewn cleaning up the lines and contouring to your foot with slipper-like comfort. The custom CNC’d alloy BOA® dials also add some panache but they also feature durable spring clutch internals and precise one-millimeter micro-adjustments that let you perfectly dial in your fit. The S-Works 7 embodies everything we know about footwear compacted into one shoe–no compromises no shortcuts just explosive speed and superior comfort. Body Geometry sole and footbed are ergonomically designed and scientifically tested to boost power increase efficiency and reduce the chance of injury by optimizing hip knee and foot alignment. Our stiffest and lightest FACT Powerline™ carbon plate maximizes power transfer: Stiffness Index 15.0 Dyneema® Mesh is trapped between layers of four-way stretch mesh and TPU to create no-stretch zones for the ultimate connection and comfort. Independent alloy BOA® S3-Snap dials for on-the-fly micro-adjustment backed by the BOA® Lifetime Guarantee. PadLock™ heel construction cradles the heel and is proven to improve acceleration Titanium alloy cleat nuts can rotate to position pedal/cleats 5mm rearward. Non-slip replaceable heel tread with internally recessed screws for security. Form Fit last with a roomy toe box for the ultimate in connectivity and comfort. Three-bolt cleat pattern fits all major road pedals. Approximate weight: 224g (1/2 pair Size 42)

The S-Works EXOS EVO is the lightest off-road shoe we’ve ever created. Our world-class design team developed a proprietary Dyneema® layup that drastically lowered the weight of the upper while simultaneously maximizing strength and increasing pliancy to create a 232g featherweight racing shoe for all terrain with none of the weight. To secure the foot we’ve used the newly released BOA®Li2 dial featuring an increased level of micro-adjustment a lower profile and a refined ergonomic design to give riders the ability to precisely tune their fit. We’ve paired this precision fit with a reimagined toe box which uses a sleeve that stretches comfortably over the top of the toes and forefoot while maintaining room for movement and flexion. The S-Works EXOS EVO also features the XC FACT carbon sole. Our stiffest and lightest off-road plate to date the XC FACT sole has a stiffness index of 13.0. Which means all your power goes right to the pedals. And Like all our shoes the S-Works EXOS EVO is built on the foundation of Body Geometry—to boost power increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury by optimizing hip knee and foot alignment. With a proprietary Dyneema® upper that comfortably wraps the foot without compromising hold it’s also the most comfortable XC race show we’ve ever made. Built with Purpose. Backed by Science. Our Body Geometry trio of the Longitudinal Arch Metatarsal Button and Varus Wedge work together to increase efficiency optimize hip knee and foot alignment and reduce injury risks. Our stiffest and lightest XC FACT carbon plate maximizes power transfer: Stiffness Index 13.0 Lightest weight XC shoe on the market at only 464 grams: 232 grams (1/2 pair Size 42) A revolutionary Dyneema® Mesh allows us to achieve weight without sacrificing hold for the ultimate connection and comfort.

S-Works Recon, Now With Laces! On gravel, style is a state of mind. The new S-Works Recon Lace will put a smile on your face and style in your pace every time you head out the door. A timeless look combined with tried and true Body Geometry features and the performance and durability that have become hallmarks of S-Works Recon shoes. Plus, you’ll leave everyone in the group asking, “What shoes are those?”Laces do everything just right, every time. Lacing closures give riders multiple points of cincture to effect precise adjustment for a sublime feel right out of the box. If that even pressure distribution is what you’ve been looking for all along, you’re in luck. Laces are the age-old way of honing in your fit. We also removed any extraneous hardware from the upper to make the shoe supple and essentially create a hug for your feet. Because who doesn’t love hugs? Put Your Fancy Feet ForwardThe S-Works Recon Lace uses the same high-performance dirt-specific carbon outsole found on our S-Works Recon shoes. This incredibly stiff carbon sole makes sure none of the power you’re putting down goes to waste. Because why would you want to waste all that power? Now, we just have another closure option for the style-obsessed gravel gurus out there. Let’s go! Specialized Surface StudiesRidden, raced, tested, and approved by our Specialized athletes globally. From hardpack dirt tracks to broken pavement potholes and steep gravel climbs that lead to nowhere. Stream crossings and gas station raids, even a few tall cans were crushed in these shoes. The S-Works Recon Lace has been put to the test with our top-tier athletes. Plus, a few that aren’t top tier, but just really like to ride, a lot.

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, we engineered a shoe so thoughtfully constructed that you’ll forget you’re wearing it.Leveraging data science, we refined every detail of the S-Works Torch’s upper for improved fit and performance. The BOA® cable is shifted down and angled, preventing lift on the ball of the foot and delivering power-enhancing structure while eliminating unwanted pressure or pinching. Adaptive materials allow natural movement of the foot where needed for comfort, while data-driven zonal reinforcement keeps the foot secured for crisp power delivery and optimal efficiency.Guided by more than 100,000 foot scans from our RETÜL fit data, we recognized that both a standard and a wide carbon base plate would best serve the spectrum of human foot shapes. An internal I-Beam adds stiffness and strength, eliminating the need for additional bracing. The result is a 20-gram weight reduction, enhanced efficiency, and immediate power transfer.Following RETÜL biomechanical data, we created an asymmetric heel cup that supports natural knee alignment and delivers the positive hold riders love while enhancing comfort by accommodating more room for the Achilles heel.The S-Works Torch is scientifically crafted to disappear on your feet and off the front.New upper features reinforcement in key zones while also offering adaptie fit zones to create a disappearing fit on the foot.,Based on data gathered from Retül foot scans, the new base plate is 4mm wider at the ball than the previous generation of S-Works 7 shoe.,By optimizing its construction, the new carbon plate is 20g lighter than the S-Works 7. An internal "I-Beam" ensures it maintains the same stiffness as the previous generation.,An updated last makes use of Retül data to better match the shape of riders' feet, sloping more towards the lateral side to give a snug, close-to-foot fit.•Asymmetrical heel counter supports the medial side while removing material from the lateral side, allowing for a lower collar.,Updated BOA® cable routing improves lockdown while reducing pressure across anterior ankle ligaments.,Independent alloy BOA® S3-Snap Fit System for on-the-fly micro-adjustment, backed by the BOA® Guarantee.,Titanium alloy cleat nuts can rotate to position pedal/cleats 5mm rearward.
