Spirit R8

The new Spirit R8 is a more 'traditional' high end frame from Scapin.

Made from custom drawn Columbus Spirit, the tubes are beautifully welded in the Scapin factory by true artists.

The steel is then ceramic bead blasted to strengthen the welds and prime the surface for the WPT weather proofing treatment. This involves an electrolosis process to coat the surface with Zinc salts, inside and out, resulting in a frame that will withstand anything the weather can throw at it.

The frame is then painted in the Scapin factories own paint shop, with four solid and two double colours available as standard, or four tricolore colours at extra cost.

The resulting frame is designed with big rides in mind, with a definite tilt towards racing. Like all Scapin bikes, the difference is in the handling, with stability a priority.

This bike loves to be thrown around corners, and with the built in comfort of the highest grade steel available, can be ridden all day.
