Specialized has long established itself as a leading brand in the bike industry, known for its extensive and diverse range of high-quality bicycles. Yet, the brand’s slate of components and accessories may just be more popular than the bikes themselves. The brand's tyres, shoes, helmets and saddles are everywhere — I dare you to show up at a group ride just about anywhere in the world and not find Specialized-branded items. Thus, when Specialized updates its top-end shoe range, it's worth noting.
Today's new release is a refined version of the previous Ares shoe — the brand's top-of-the-line road cycling shoe, worn by the likes of Primoz Roglić, Demi Vollering, and Tim Merlier.
