Bespoke Craftsmanship: Built to withstand the harshest conditions, the Scarab Darien is built by hand in our shop in Colombia ensuring the highest quality construction possible. With a robust design and using top of the line steels. The frame offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, impact resistance, and longevity, making them ideal for any adventure. Our precise tubing selections, tailored to each rider are intended to offer comfort on long days in the saddle.

Design: The Darien’s geometry is fine-tuned to lead the pack on cross-country rides with its agile handling. Every Darien is custom-built, and will  be optimized around 100-130 fork travels, depending on rider preference.

It provides the perfect balance between ride quality, durability, and reasonable weight. Yes! Some of these are not the usual variables you measure the bike industry with… Ride Quality? You heard right!
Steel provides a unique feeling of the road. It smoothens out the harshness of the surface while transferring power in a unique slingshot-like way.
