Trickle-down technology is a beautiful thing. Whenever Specialized launches a top-tier S-Works product, you know the lower tiers will also benefit. A select set of innovations will make their way down the product line without the S-Works price tag. And that is precisely what today's launch of the new Torch 2.0 and 3.0 shoes is about. 

It's been two years since the Boa-dial-equipped S-Works Torch road shoe was unveiled to replace the beloved S-Works 7s. A lace-up version followed in 2023, and now, it's time for the mid-range shoes to get an update and receive their turn in the spotlight.
