Linea Frame Description

One could think that the Linea takes its name from the lineage of Colombian prowesses. Forged by the ragged topography that didn’t stop crowds of racers trying to outshine the others in an attempt to win races like the Vuelta a Colombia, a classic, that since its inception in 1951, came to unite a country divided by its terrain and its internal conflicts.

The legendary beetles of Colombia, like Lucho Herrera, would amaze spectators in the European races but its in the Colombian Andes and mountain passes like the Alto de la Linea, where they were made. A line of heroes, a line of mountains, the LINEA is a tribute to the legendary cyclists and bicycles from this era.

Why Steel

At Scarab we 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.

Navigating our Lineup

  • Introduction: The Importance of Tires in Cycling
    Tires are essential for any bike, acting as the main contact with the terrain. Different cycling disciplines have been defined by their intended terrain—Track, Road, Gravel, Mountain. Recently, tire sizes have expanded within these disciplines, giving riders more options to tailor their bikes for specific terrains and preferences, which ultimately enhances their experience.

  • Scarab’s Philosophy on Product Lineup
    At Scarab Cycles, our bikes are designed to span major cycling disciplines. We see the overlaps between models as a benefit, allowing one bike to be suitable for multiple uses. For instance, the Andes and Apüna models can perform across similar terrains but provide unique riding experiences due to their distinct features.

  • Tires as a Guide in Choosing Models
    We believe in offering a range of tire options and have created a guide to help riders select the right bike for their terrain and riding style.

  • Bike Selection Process: Versatility and Terrain
    Our process starts by identifying the primary terrain and tire size for the rider's main use, then expands to other intended uses. This Ideal Range approach helps riders select a model that can handle varied scenarios while excelling in its primary function.

  • Meaningful Conversations with Riders
    We ask specific questions to understand each rider's goals, including their current bikes and limitations. This insight allows us to recommend a bike with the right tire range and features for each rider's unique needs, blending modern tire flexibility with the individuality of each frame.
