Scapin (www.scapin.com) is one
of the most prestigious Italian brands ever, together with DeRosa,
Pinarello and Colnago. In fact: the Scapin bikes are the sole mountain
bikes ever to win the COMPASSO D’ORO, the most prestigious Italian
Design Award. The 2017 Scapin Kalibra recently bagged a Tech Award at the CosmoBike Show in Verona.
Founded in 1957 by Umberto Scapin, a former pro rider, the brand has become renown through time, for the peculiar craftsmanship, high quality and technological excellence of its creations.The Fontana family, owners of the Olympia brand, bought Scapin in 2005 and started investing in R&D, guided by the experience of the firm’s historical designer: Stefano Scapin.
Picked up the newest disc equipped carbon sled for Scapin called the Kalibra. Looking forward to some good long rides and to share my thoughts soon.
