Drawing inspiration from the spirit of exploration that defines the Darien Gap, the Scarab Darien is a manifestation of rugged determination, passion for adventure, and reliability. This hardtail mountain bike is meticulously crafted with Columbus MTB-specific tubing to provide riders with an unparalleled experience as they navigate through uncharted territories.

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. With clearance for 29” x 2.6 -wide tires it is an ideal companion for tackling technical terrain and navigating through diverse landscapes.

Compatibility: Darien has been designed around the latest trends and technologies. It comes equipped with a UDH dropout system that allows installation of the latest T-Type transmissions. The frame has been equipped with a T47 bottom bracket that allows the use of multiple crankset options. Every frameset is setup to be built with a  dropper-post.

Why Steel

At Scarab love steel. This material has a long history in bike manufacturing and has been able to evolve into Modern Steel. 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.


 The material itself sounds humble, but don’t get us wrong: the steels we use are far from basic.

We use the most advanced steels available for bike manufacturing, allowing us to keep the bike package perfectly balanced. you riding more.
