Lightweight carbon construction for speed and responsiveness
The CIMA Artist uses a premium carbon fibre layup engineered to deliver outstanding stiffness and efficient power transfer. The result is a bike that accelerates quickly, climbs efficiently and feels stable at speed.
For riders looking to upgrade their current setup, this frame offers:
- improved pedalling efficiency on long rides
- stronger acceleration during sprints and climbs
- reduced overall bike weight
- a more refined ride feel across varying road surfaces
This makes it a strong platform for performance-focused cyclists, racers and riders building a lightweight road bike.
Modern road geometry for precision handling
The CIMA Artist – Wilderness is designed with a modern geometry that balances speed, stability and comfort, making it suitable for a wide range of riders and riding styles.
- Six frame sizes from XS to XL to suit a broad range of rider heights
- Optimised fork offsets across sizes for consistent steering response
- Balanced geometry for cornering control and confident descending
For riders booking a bike fit, the range of sizing and seatpost offset options allows for a precise, tailored setup.
Built for modern components and drivetrain systems
This frameset is designed to integrate seamlessly with current high-performance components used in road cycling.
Key technical features include:
- BSA threaded bottom bracket (68mm) for reliable installation and easier servicing
- SRAM UDH derailleur hanger for compatibility with modern drivetrains
- Full support for Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS and Campagnolo WRL electronic shifting systems
- Flat mount disc brakes for consistent braking performance
- Full internal cable routing for a clean and aerodynamic finish
- 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axle setup
The threaded bottom bracket is a key advantage, as many bike mechanics prefer it for reduced creaking, easier installation and long-term durability compared with press-fit systems.
Tuned for comfort and tyre versatility
The CIMA Artist supports modern tyre widths, allowing riders to optimise comfort, grip and speed depending on riding conditions.
- Compatible with 700c wheels
- Supports tyres from 24c up to 32c
