The World’s Lightest for the World’s Fastest

Developed hand in hand with Remco Evenepoel over eight months, the S-Works Torch Remco is the lightest shoe in the pro peloton at a stunning 148.2g. Yeah, we count grams to the tenth. Yeah, we know it’s a little obsessive. But that’s how we engineered this shoe with Remco to be 3 grams lighter than it’s closest competitor*.

The S-Works Torch Remco achieves its featherweight status through a refined construction—featuring a simplified upper, a smaller carbon plate, a nylon-injected heel counter and toe cap, and a single Boa Li2Dial. This all results in a shoe that provides everything you need and nothing you don’tin a lightweight, efficient, and comfortable package. Engineered with our Body Geometry methodology and all-new Body GeometryLast, the S-Works Torch Remco reduces forefoot pressure by 44%, while offering a balanced foot hold and optimized stiffness for uncompromising comfort and power.

Tested and trusted by Remco in his debut Tour de France, he wore the third and final prototype of the S-Works Torch Remco in five key mountain stages—4, 14, 15, 19, and 20. He attacked again and again on brutal climbs like the Col du Galibier and Pla d’Adet, trusting the shoe and Specialized shoe team with every explosive move. The prototype features orange detailing—a colour that stuck around simply because it was the fabric our factory had on hand at the time—but it became something more. A nod to the time, effort, and talent that went into creating a shoe worthy of the Tour. Five mountain stages. Countless surges. Zero hesitation.

The result? A podium finish and the white jersey in his debut Tour de France.

Prototype tested. Podium proven.
