Additional Notes

Best suited to modern gravel drivetrains such as Shimano GRX, SRAM XPLR, SRAM AXS and Shimano Di2 where compatible.
Professional assembly is recommended due to internal routing, hydraulic disc brake setup and drivetrain compatibility requirements.
Final complete bike weight depends on wheels, tyres, drivetrain, cockpit, saddle and accessories selected.

Lightweight TORAYCA Carbon Platform

The CIMA GR Sailfish Pearl uses a high-grade TORAYCA carbon blend combining T1100, T800 and M40 fibres. This construction is designed to balance low weight, impact resistance, stiffness and long-distance durability, which is especially important for gravel riding where frames are exposed to vibration, rough surfaces and repeated impacts.

Aero Gravel Design

Unlike traditional gravel frames focused only on tyre clearance and comfort, the CIMA GR is designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind. The claimed watt savings at 35km/h position it as a gravel frameset for riders who want speed on fast hardpack, open roads and race-style mixed terrain.

Improved Stiffness Where It Matters

The claimed bottom bracket stiffness improvement helps support efficient power transfer during climbing, sprinting and seated accelerations. The increased head tube stiffness is intended to improve steering precision, especially when descending, cornering or riding rough gravel at speed.

Internal Cable Routing

Internal cable routing gives the bike a clean, modern appearance while helping protect cables and hoses from dirt, dust and trail debris. It also suits premium custom builds using electronic drivetrains and hydraulic disc brakes.

Drivetrain Flexibility

The CIMA GR supports 1x mechanical, 1x electronic and 2x electronic drivetrain setups. This gives riders flexibility depending on whether they want a simple gravel race drivetrain, a wide-range adventure setup or a road-style 2x system for mixed road and gravel use.

Sailfish Pearl Finish

The Sailfish Pearl colourway is inspired by the sailfish, one of the ocean’s fastest natural athletes. The finish uses fluid lines, fin-inspired graphics and iridescent detailing to create a premium custom-bike appearance that changes with light and angle.

Custom Gravel Build Potential

Because the CIMA GR is available as a frameset package, riders can build the bike around their preferred wheelset, tyre width, gearing, cockpit and saddle. This makes it suitable for anything from a lightweight gravel race build to a fast all-road adventure setup.

Fit Recommendation

A professional bike fit is strongly recommended before selecting frame size, seatpost offset, handlebar width and stem length. Gravel riding places unique demands on fit because riders need comfort for long distances, control in the drops and efficient power transfer across rough surfaces.

The Evolve CIMA GR Sailfish Pearl is best suited to riders who want a lightweight, fast and premium carbon gravel frameset that can handle gravel racing, endurance riding and mixed-surface exploration.

Best Suited For

Gravel racers
Fast endurance gravel riders
Road cyclists moving into gravel
All-road riders wanting one fast mixed-surface platform
Cyclists building a Shimano GRX or SRAM XPLR custom gravel bike
Riders upgrading from alloy or heavier carbon gravel frames

Product Care

Clean with mild bike-safe cleaner and water after dusty or wet rides.
Avoid high-pressure washing around headset, bottom bracket and bearings.
Use a calibrated torque wrench on all frame, cockpit, seatpost and accessory bolts.
Apply carbon assembly paste where recommended.
Inspect the frame after rock strikes, crashes or hard impacts.
Check fork, steerer and headset condition regularly.
Inspect internal brake hoses and drivetrain wires during major servicing.
Keep Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS or other electronic drivetrain firmware updated where applicable.
Check bottom bracket condition after wet or dusty gravel rides.
Confirm tyre clearance whenever changing wheel or tyre size.
Re-check headset preload after the first few rides on a new build.

Warranty generally applies to manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Crash damage, incorrect installation, over-torquing, modification, misuse, impact damage and normal wear are typically not covered.
Professional assembly is recommended for safety, performance and warranty protection.
