Summary
Scarab presented the Serena at MADE 2026 as a rider-specific steel climbing bike, with a claimed complete weight of 7,108 grams and just 25 bikes in the first series.
A 2,194-gram frameset and finishing kit, a custom-drawn Columbus Spirit tubeset, carbon fork, T47 bottom bracket and clearance for 32mm tires underpin Scarab’s push to make steel light, responsive and compliant.
Santiago Toro said the El Retiro, Colombia-built bike was shaped by mountain riding, aiming to blend out-of-saddle punch with stability on long climbs through geometry tuned to each rider.
The launch stood out at a show dominated by gravel and oversized-tire bikes, making Serena a contrarian bet on a pure road machine as high-performance road bikes recede from center stage.
