Notable Tech, Materials & Construction

Premium TORAYCA Carbon Layup

The CIMA uses a blend of TORAYCA T1100, T800 and M40 carbon fibres to balance low weight, stiffness and ride quality. This gives the frame a responsive race-bike feel while keeping overall frame mass impressively low.

Lightweight Race Frame Design

With a claimed 650g unpainted size M frame weight, the CIMA is built for riders who value climbing response, sharp acceleration and a lively ride feel.

Aero-Optimised Tube Shaping

The frame uses modern aerodynamic profiles to improve efficiency at speed, making it more versatile than a pure climbing frame. It is designed to feel fast on flats, rolling roads and climbs.

Wind Tunnel Validated Platform

The CIMA platform has undergone aerodynamic validation at Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub, supporting its performance credentials for riders seeking measurable speed gains.

Fully Internal Cable Routing

Internal routing gives the frame a clean, premium appearance while reducing exposed cables. This suits modern Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS and Campagnolo WRL builds.

BSA Threaded Bottom Bracket

The 68mm BSA threaded bottom bracket is a practical choice for long-term servicing. It is easier for most bike shops to maintain and is less prone to creaking than many press-fit systems.

CeramicSpeed SLT Headset Bearings

The included CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings add a premium touch, improving steering smoothness and long-term durability.

SRAM UDH Compatibility

The SRAM UDH-compatible hanger improves future drivetrain support and makes replacement easier, especially for riders travelling or racing.

Industry Feedback, Rider Reviews and our own opinion

Industry commentary has generally focused on the CIMA’s combination of low weight, aero development, premium carbon material selection and strong value compared with major global race framesets.

Rider Feedback & Community Sentiment

As the Evolve CIMA range is relatively new, long-term rider feedback is still developing. Early discussion from performance cyclists and custom bike builders has been positive, especially around:

  • Extremely low claimed frame weight
  • Premium carbon fibre specification
  • Clean internal cable routing
  • BSA threaded bottom bracket
  • CeramicSpeed headset inclusion
  • 32mm tyre clearance
  • Distinctive Matte Carbon Gold finish
  • Strong value compared with mainstream premium road frames

Many riders are drawn to the CIMA because it offers a high-end custom build platform with a unique look rather than following the same common premium frame choices seen in many bunch rides.

Why We Love It at Pedal Passion

We love the Evolve CIMA Matte Carbon Gold because it brings together the qualities serious Australian road riders want: low weight, aero efficiency, electronic drivetrain compatibility, practical servicing standards and a standout finish.
