Evolve CIMA Artist Road Frameset (Emerge)
The Evolve CIMA Artist Emerge Performance Road Frameset is a premium carbon platform built for cyclists who demand a balance of speed, efficiency and modern design. Engineered using advanced Torayca high‑modulus carbon fibre, this lightweight road frame is designed to deliver responsive power transfer, smooth ride quality and race-ready handling for serious riders.
Whether you’re building a lightweight climber, upgrading your current setup or working with a local bike shop on a custom build, the CIMA Artist Emerge offers a high-end solution that suits road racing, endurance riding, bunch rides and performance upgrades.
Lightweight carbon construction for speed and efficiency
Built from a premium blend of Toray T1100, T800 and M40 carbon fibre, the CIMA Artist Emerge is designed to maximise stiffness while keeping overall weight low. The refined carbon layup and advanced resin system improve frame rigidity and durability, creating a bike that feels fast, efficient and responsive on the road.
This makes it ideal for riders looking to:
- improve climbing efficiency
- gain faster acceleration in sprints
- optimise power transfer through the drivetrain
- build a lightweight race bike or endurance setup
For Brisbane riders tackling rolling terrain, climbs and long-distance training, a lightweight carbon frame like the CIMA can significantly enhance ride performance.
Race-inspired geometry with real-world comfort
The CIMA Artist Emerge is designed with modern road geometry that balances aerodynamic efficiency with comfort and control. Its carefully designed proportions ensure stable handling at speed while maintaining precise steering response for technical descents and tight corners.
- Multiple sizes available from XS to XL to suit a wide range of riders
- Optimised fork offsets to maintain consistent handling across sizes
- Geometry suited to fast road cycling, endurance rides and race conditions
For riders booking a professional bike build at Pedal Passion Bike Workshop in Brisbane, the combination of sizing options and seatpost offsets allows for a personalised setup that improves comfort and efficiency.
Modern drivetrain compatibility and clean integration
The frameset is designed to integrate seamlessly with the latest bike components and drivetrain systems, making it ideal for premium builds and upgrades.
Key features include:
- BSA threaded bottom bracket (68mm) for easier installation and reduced creaking
- SRAM UDH derailleur hanger for compatibility with modern groupsets
- Fully compatible with Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS and Campagnolo wireless drivetrains
- Flat mount disc brakes for reliable stopping power
- Internal cable routing for a clean, aerodynamic look
- 12mm thru-axles front and rear for stiffness and control
The use of a threaded bottom bracket is particularly popular with Australian bike mechanics, offering easier servicing and long-term reliability compared to press-fit systems.
Tyre clearance for modern road conditions
The CIMA Artist Emerge supports wider tyres up to 32c, allowing riders to optimise comfort, grip and rolling performance depending on conditions.
- 24c tyres for traditional race setups
- 28c–30c for balanced speed and comfort
- 32c for endurance riding and rough road surfaces
For Queensland cycling conditions—where road surfaces can vary from smooth asphalt to coarse chip seal—this flexibility makes a noticeable difference in ride quality and fatigue reduction.
Premium finishing components and upgrade options
The frameset includes high-quality components designed to enhance performance and reliability:
- CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings for smooth steering and long-term durability
- Lightweight evolve seatpost with multiple offset options for bike fitting flexibility
- Compatibility with a wide range of saddle rail standards
Riders can also upgrade with the KREUZA Apex one-piece handlebar, creating a fully integrated cockpit that improves aerodynamics, front-end stiffness and overall bike aesthetics.
Ideal for custom builds and performance bike servicing
The CIMA Artist Emerge frameset is a strong choice for riders working with Pedal Passion to build a high-performance road bike.
Common build and upgrade applications include:
- custom carbon road bike builds
- lightweight climbing bike setups
- race-ready road bikes
- drivetrain upgrades to Di2 or SRAM AXS
- carbon wheel and tubeless tyre upgrades
- bike fitting and position optimisation
- full bike servicing and performance tuning
For riders searching high-end road frames locally in Australia, or lightweight cycling upgrades, this frameset delivers both performance and visual appeal, all in one.
