Notable Tech, Materials & Construction

Lightweight Carbon Performance Platform

The Evolve CIMA Tropical Yellow is designed as a fast, responsive carbon road platform for riders who want a premium custom-build frameset without moving into ultra-premium mainstream pricing.

Aero-Optimised Frame Design

The CIMA platform uses modern aerodynamic tube shaping to improve efficiency at speed while maintaining the climbing response and ride quality expected from a lightweight performance road frame.

Wind Tunnel Tested Development

The frame platform has been validated through wind tunnel testing, supporting its performance credentials for riders who want more than aesthetic aero styling.

Fully Internal Cable Routing

Internal cable routing gives the bike a clean, high-end appearance while reducing exposed cables around the cockpit. This makes it ideal for Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS or Campagnolo WRL builds.

Electronic Groupset Focus

The frame is designed around modern electronic drivetrains, helping reduce mechanical cable maintenance while delivering a clean and precise shifting setup.

Multiple Seatpost Offset Options

The wide range of seatpost offsets gives riders and bike fitters more flexibility when adjusting saddle setback, rider position and pedalling biomechanics.

Disc Brake Control

Flat mount disc brake compatibility provides consistent braking power for fast descents, wet-weather rides, racing and long-distance Australian road riding.
