Evolve CIMA Road Frameset (Tropical Yellow)
The Evolve CIMA Tropical Yellow Frameset is a high-end carbon road bike platform built for riders chasing maximum performance, low weight and a clean, modern aesthetic. Designed using advanced Torayca carbon fibre (T1100, T800 and M40), this frameset delivers a refined balance of stiffness, responsiveness and comfort, making it ideal for road racing, climbing, endurance riding and custom bike builds.
Weighing just 650g for a medium frame (unpainted), the CIMA is engineered for riders who want a lightweight race-ready setup without compromising durability or handling.
This frameset is perfectly suited to fast group rides, rolling terrain, long climbs and high-performance builds supported by Pedal Passion professional bicycle servicing and custom fitting services.
Lightweight carbon performance for modern road cycling
The CIMA is built from a premium blend of Torayca high-modulus carbon fibre, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight performance. This results in a bike that accelerates quickly, responds instantly to rider input and maintains efficiency across long distances.
For riders upgrading from alloy frames or older carbon builds, a frameset like the CIMA offers a noticeable improvement in:
- climbing efficiency
- sprint responsiveness
- overall ride smoothness
- power transfer through the drivetrain
Designed for modern road bike performance builds
The Evolve CIMA is engineered with compatibility for today’s leading drivetrain and braking standards, making it an excellent platform for Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS and Campagnolo wireless groupsets.
Key compatibility features include:
- BSA threaded bottom bracket (68mm) for easier servicing and reduced creaking
- UDH rear derailleur hanger for modern drivetrain compatibility
- Flat mount disc brakes for consistent braking performance
- Internal cable routing for a clean, aerodynamic setup
- 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axles
- Max chainring size up to 58T
The use of a threaded BSA bottom bracket is a major advantage for riders and mechanics, making installation simpler and reducing common press-fit issues. It is also a preferred choice in many Australian bike shops for reliability and ease of maintenance.
Built for comfort, handling and tyre clearance
The CIMA frame is designed around modern geometry and tyre clearance to suit real-world riding conditions.
- 700c wheel compatibility
- Tyre clearance from 24c to 32c
- Optimised fork offsets for balanced handling across all sizes
- Disc brake clearance up to 160mm rotors front and rear
This makes it an ideal choice for riders who want to run wider tyres for improved comfort, grip and control on Australian roads, especially across rough surfaces, long training rides and endurance events.
Premium components and finishing details
The frameset includes a high-quality finishing kit designed for performance and longevity:
- CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings for smooth steering and minimal maintenance
- Lightweight evolve seatpost with multiple offset options for optimal bike fitting
- Saddle compatibility for standard and oversized rail systems
- Internal routing designed for clean setups and aerodynamic builds
Riders can also upgrade to the KREUZA Apex one-piece handlebar, a popular choice for integrated cockpit setups, improving aerodynamics and front-end stiffness.
Built for custom builds and professional bike fitting
The Evolve CIMA is a strong platform for riders seeking a high-performance road bike tailored to their riding style.
It is ideal for:
- custom road bike builds
- lightweight climbing bikes
- race-ready setups
- endurance road bikes with wider tyres
- complete drivetrain upgrades including Di2 or AXS
- bike fitting and performance optimisation
- premium builds with carbon wheels and integrated cockpits
Ride-ready durability and certification
The frame is designed to meet international standards and long-term reliability goals:
- UCI approved for racing
- CE certified for safety compliance
- Rider weight limit up to 109kg
- Limited lifetime warranty for peace of mind
This makes it suitable for competitive riders, enthusiasts and riders investing in a long-term cycling platform.
