The Evolve CIMA Special Edition – Billow Frameset is a limited premium carbon road bike platform built for riders who want elite-level performance combined with a distinctive finish. Designed using advanced Torayca T1100, T800 and M40 carbon fibre, this frame delivers exceptional stiffness, low weight and refined handling, making it ideal for road racing, climbing, endurance riding and custom bike builds.

Weighing just 650g for a medium frame (unpainted), the CIMA Billow is engineered to give riders a noticeable upgrade in speed, responsiveness and ride quality. Whether you are building a race bike or upgrading through a professional bike shop, bicycle service centre or custom build specialist, this frameset provides a high-performance foundation.

Ultra-light carbon construction for real performance gains

The CIMA Special Edition uses a high-modulus carbon layup with a refined resin system that increases stiffness by approximately 12% compared with traditional carbon constructions. This results in stronger power transfer, improved acceleration and a more efficient ride.

For cyclists, this translates to:

faster climbing with less effort
sharper sprint response during high-intensity efforts
improved drivetrain efficiency
reduced fatigue over long rides

For Brisbane and Queensland riders tackling varied terrain, this type of lightweight performance frame is ideal for both daily training and competitive cycling.

Modern geometry for speed, balance and comfort

The CIMA Billow is designed with advanced road geometry to provide a balance of race-ready performance and long-distance comfort.

Six frame sizes from XS to XL to suit riders from approximately 146cm to 202cm
Geometry tuned to deliver stable handling at speed
Consistent steering feel across all sizes
Optimised stack-to-reach ratios for modern bike fitting

The frame also uses size-specific fork offsets and bottom bracket drop variations, ensuring consistent handling characteristics regardless of frame size. For riders investing in a bike fitting service, this allows for a more personalised and efficient riding position.

Premium construction with wind tunnel validation

The CIMA Special Edition Billow is developed with strict engineering standards and has undergone extensive testing to ensure durability, safety and performance. Wind tunnel testing has been conducted to validate aerodynamic efficiency, helping reduce drag and improve speed during high-speed riding.

This makes it well suited to:

road racing and criterium events
endurance cycling and gran fondos
fast bunch rides
performance-focused training

Built for modern drivetrains and bike components

The frameset is designed to work seamlessly with today’s top-tier cycling components, making it an excellent choice for high-end builds.

Key features include:

BSA threaded bottom bracket (68mm) for ease of installation and reduced creaking
SRAM UDH derailleur hanger for compatibility with modern drivetrain systems
Support for Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS and Campagnolo WRL electronic groupsets
Flat mount disc brakes for powerful and consistent braking
Fully internal cable routing for a clean, aerodynamic finish
12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axle compatibility

The threaded bottom bracket is widely preferred by Australian bike mechanics, offering easier servicing and long-term reliability compared to press-fit systems.

Tyre clearance for modern Australian road conditions

The CIMA Billow supports tyre widths from 24c up to 32c, allowing riders to tune their bike for speed, comfort or versatility.

25c–28c for race-day performance
28c–30c for everyday riding balance
30c–32c for long-distance comfort and rough road surfaces

For Brisbane riders dealing with mixed road surfaces and long training distances, wider tyres can significantly improve comfort and control.

Premium components and upgrade options

The frameset includes high-quality components designed to elevate the ride experience:

CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings for smooth steering and minimal maintenance
Lightweight evolve carbon seatpost with multiple offset options for precise positioning
Saddle compatibility for standard and oversized rail systems

Optional upgrades include the KREUZA Apex one-piece handlebar, offering an integrated cockpit that improves aerodynamics, stiffness and overall bike aesthetics.
