Evolve CIMA Artist Frameset (Mist)
The Evolve CIMA Artist Carbon Road Frameset in Mist Colourway is a high-performance platform designed for riders who want a fast, lightweight and responsive road bike built to modern standards. Engineered with advanced Toray high-modulus carbon fibre, this frameset is developed to deliver excellent stiffness-to-weight performance, making it ideal for road racing, endurance cycling, fast group rides and custom bike builds.
This frame is a strong choice for cyclists looking to upgrade from entry-level carbon or alloy bikes to a high-end setup that improves power transfer, ride smoothness and overall efficiency. Whether you’re chasing speed on weekend bunch rides or building a dedicated race bike, the CIMA Artist Emerge provides a refined foundation for a premium build.
Ultra-light carbon construction for efficient power transfer
The CIMA Artist Emerge uses a carefully engineered carbon layup that balances lightweight construction with structural strength. This creates a frame that responds quickly under acceleration while maintaining stability and control at speed.
For riders investing in performance cycling upgrades, the benefits are clear:
- improved climbing efficiency on long ascents
- sharper acceleration during sprint efforts
- reduced overall bike weight for endurance riding
- more efficient energy transfer through the drivetrain
For Brisbane riders dealing with rolling terrain and longer training loops, a lightweight carbon frame can significantly improve ride feel and speed over distance.
Balanced geometry for speed, comfort and control
Designed with modern road geometry, the CIMA Artist Emerge delivers a balance of aerodynamic positioning and real-world comfort. The geometry supports aggressive riding when needed, while still offering stability for long rides and varied road conditions.
- Multiple frame sizes available from XS through XL
- Tuned geometry for stable high-speed handling
- Consistent steering feel across sizes
- Designed for both racing and endurance cycling
For riders booking bike fitting services in Brisbane, this flexibility makes it easier to achieve an efficient and comfortable riding position tailored to individual body geometry.
Built for modern drivetrain systems and bike components
The frameset is engineered to integrate seamlessly with current road bike technology, making it ideal for high-end builds and future upgrades.
Key build features include:
- BSA threaded bottom bracket for reliable installation and easy servicing
- UDH derailleur hanger for compatibility with modern SRAM and universal systems
- Full support for Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS and Campagnolo wireless groupsets
- Internal cable routing for a clean, aerodynamic finish
- Flat mount disc brake compatibility for consistent braking performance
- 12mm thru-axle system front and rear for improved stiffness and control
The use of a threaded bottom bracket is especially appealing for Australian riders and bike shops, as it simplifies maintenance and reduces the likelihood of creaking compared to press-fit systems.
Optimised for wider road tyres and real conditions
The CIMA Artist Emerge supports tyre widths up to 32c, giving riders the flexibility to tune their setup based on riding style and terrain.
- 25c–28c for fast road racing
- 28c–30c for balanced performance and comfort
- 30c–32c for endurance riding and rougher road surfaces
For Queensland roads, where riders often encounter coarse bitumen and varying conditions, wider tyres can improve grip, comfort and long-distance efficiency.
Premium components and finishing details
The frameset includes high-quality components that enhance ride feel and reduce maintenance requirements:
- CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings for smooth, long-lasting steering performance
- Lightweight carbon seatpost with multiple offset options for precise bike fitting
- Compatibility with a wide range of saddle rail standards
Optional upgrades such as the KREUZA Apex one-piece handlebar allow riders to create a fully integrated cockpit for improved aerodynamics and a modern aesthetic.
Designed for custom builds and professional servicing
The CIMA Artist Emerge is best paired with professional workshop assembly to ensure maximum performance and reliability. It is commonly used for:
- custom carbon road bike builds
- race bike setups for criteriums and road racing
- lightweight climbing bikes
- drivetrain upgrades to electronic shifting systems
