Between the forests and below the snow line of the Andes, lies the ecosystem that, contradictorily, is both delicate yet resilient. Adverse conditions force quick adaption of all life forms. It’s the natural limit to life. This is where we found inspiration for our versatile gravel bike, the one that will take beyond the limits of the tarmac: the Scarab Paramo. A closer look reveals yet another limit. Above 4500m, a narrow zone that appears to be bare ground just below the rare tropical glaciers. Even more extreme conditions challenge plant and human life: lowest air temperatures, thin air, little rain, soils low on water and nutrient content, the highest solar radiation and overnight freezing temperatures. However, tiny scattered plants subsist here. For humans, it’s hard to get to and live in the superpáramo. Settling for the known limits isn’t what has got us to humanity today. The spirit of adventure prevails.
