Named after the freshwater Angel fish (no, we can’t see the connection either) Tifosi’s Scalare has a compact carbon frame that looks small at first glance. Under testing though, we found it was surprisingly spacious and gave us an almost perfect position.
The 145mm head tube offers the chance to get racy. Yet the complete package doesn’t quite conform to the race weapon stereotype.
- Highs: Great carbon frame, fine shifting and classy finishing kit
- Lows: The Miche wheelset and Rubino tyres are disappointing
- Buy If: You’re after a pleasing all day ride with scope to upgrade
It may have less frame tubing length, but what's there is on the large size. The head tube area is huge, there’s a giant down tube, a PressFit 30 bottom bracket, deep chainstays and bridgeless seatstays.

All cabling is internally routed via some very neat ports in the head tube area, exiting around the bottom bracket, or above the rear dropout. Altogether it gives the frame a clean, businesslike look.
