Meet the Paramo. Our off-road racing frameset that is now available in the RTP program
Páramo - RTP
Designed to Work With Nature, Not Against It
Built for high mountain gravel and the unpredictable terrain of Colombia’s páramos, this version of the Páramo comes through the Ready to Paint program, offering the same spirit and construction as our custom platform in a streamlined format.
It’s a bike for remote places and rough conditions. Confident, stable, and surefooted when the trail disappears. Whether you're navigating muddy switchbacks, long gravel climbs, or chunky descents, the Páramo is designed to handle it all with poise and power.
This is where Scarab's off-road DNA comes into focus. No excess. Just everything you need.
Materials
The Páramo uses the same blend of Columbus Spirit and Life tubing as our custom model, chosen for its balance of durability, comfort, and responsiveness - ideal for demanding gravel rides.
Round tubing keeps the ride smooth and composed over rough terrain, with enough agility to stay sharp when things get technical. A 44 mm head tube adds front-end stability, while a T47 bottom bracket ensures stiffness and reliability at the core.
Paired with the ENVE In-Route Gravel fork and clearance for 700 x 50 mm tires, the Páramo is ready for wherever the road disappears.
Craftsmanship
The Páramo is designed for fully integrated cable routing through either ENVE’s In-Route system or FSA’s ACR cockpit. This setup not only delivers a clean, protected front end, but also makes it easier to attach handlebar bags and gear without interference from cables.
Whether you're heading into the backcountry or building out a bikepacking setup, the integrated cockpit keeps things streamlined, practical, and adventure-ready.
Integrated Routing
The Santa Rosa RTP is designed to support integrated cable routing for a clean, modern front end. It is fully compatible with both ENVE’s In-Route system and FSA’s ACR cockpit, giving you flexibility to choose the setup that suits your build and preferences.
Integration is seamless, with clean lines and a precise fit that complement the performance and aesthetic of the frame.
About the RTP Program
RTP stands for Ready to Paint, our streamlined program that brings Scarab performance and craftsmanship to more riders, faster. Built using the same materials, processes, and standards as our custom frames, RTP models come in a selection of stock geometries and preset paint schemes.
What changes is the path, not the product. Each RTP frame is crafted and painted in our El Retiro workshop, using the exact same tubing and care as our fully bespoke builds, just without the co-design phase.
- Framesets ship in 4 weeks
- Complete builds ship in 6 weeks
RTP is Scarab made more accessible, for those who want to ride sooner without giving up what matters.
