Meet the Santa Rosa. Our road racing frameset that is now available in the RTP program
Santa Rosa - RTP
Precision. With Bite.
The Santa Rosa was born to prove that steel is as relevant as ever. That a steel bike can be fast, reactive, and aggressive while maintaining the buttery smoothness the material is known for. More than just a frameset, the Santa Rosa is a stamp in time: a reminder that steel has been, is, and will always be a material capable of creating some of the most incredible machines on the planet.
The RTP version brings that same DNA to life without the wait. Built on the exact platform as our custom model, the Santa Rosa RTP comes finished in a selection of curated paint schemes, designed to reflect our aesthetic while offering a faster path to the road.
Whether it’s crit laps, Andean descents, or your favorite fast loop, the Santa Rosa RTP delivers a ride that’s sharp, grounded, and alive.
Materials
The Santa Rosa uses the exact same Columbus Spirit tubing as our custom model, ovalized to increase stiffness and tuned flex. The result is a frame that feels fast, reactive, and deeply connected to the road.
A 44 mm head tube sharpens handling, while short taper chainstays and a T47 bottom bracket deliver direct power transfer and drivetrain stiffness. Up front, the ENVE In-Route carbon fork adds precision and stability. With clearance for 32 mm tires, the Santa Rosa balances speed with just enough comfort to go long and fast.
Craftsmanship
Every Santa Rosa is built just like the custom version. Same materials, same workshop, same builders. It’s not a different process. It’s not a different standard. It’s simply another way to access the ride we believe in.
At Scarab, there is no halfway. Each frame is crafted with the same care, precision, and pride that defines everything we do, from the first weld to the final alignment and through every layer of paint. All of it happens under one roof, by the same hands that shape our most personal creations.
This is how we build. It’s the only way we know.
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.
