Evolve CIMA Speed Frameset (Adrift)
The Evolve CIMA Speed – Adrift Frameset is built for riders who want a lightweight, fast and responsive road bike designed for modern racing and performance cycling. Constructed using advanced Torayca T1100, T800 and M40 carbon fibre, this high-end frameset delivers exceptional stiffness, efficient power transfer and refined ride quality, making it ideal for road racing, endurance riding, bunch rides and custom bike builds across Brisbane, other parts of Queensland and all across Australia.
With a 650g frame weight (medium, unpainted), the CIMA Speed is engineered for riders chasing a competitive edge on climbs, fast group rides and long-distance training, while still offering the durability and handling required for everyday riding conditions.
Lightweight carbon performance for speed and climbing
The advanced carbon layup used in the CIMA Speed is designed to optimise stiffness-to-weight ratio, giving riders a highly responsive feel under power. Every pedal stroke translates efficiently through the frame, helping maximise speed on flats and minimise effort on climbs.
For cyclists upgrading from alloy frames or older carbon bikes, this frameset can noticeably improve:
- climbing efficiency on steep climbs
- acceleration when attacking or sprinting
- overall bike weight for endurance riding
- drivetrain efficiency and responsiveness
For Brisbane and Queensland riders tackling rolling hills or long weekend rides, a lightweight carbon frame like the CIMA Speed provides real performance gains.
Race-tuned geometry with balanced handling
The CIMA Speed features modern road geometry designed to deliver a balance of agility, stability and rider comfort. Whether you're riding in a fast bunch, racing criteriums or descending at speed, the geometry is tuned for confidence and control.
- Six frame sizes from XS to XL to suit a wide range of rider heights
- Optimised fork offsets for consistent steering response across sizes
- Stable handling at speed with responsive cornering
- Geometry suitable for both racing and endurance setups
Pairing this frameset with a professional bike building and fitting service at Pedal Passion Brisbane ensures the best possible position for comfort and performance.
Built for modern drivetrain systems and bike components
The CIMA Speed – Adrift is designed to integrate seamlessly with today’s leading groupsets and components, making it a strong choice for performance builds and future upgrades.
Key technical features:
- BSA threaded bottom bracket (68mm) for easy servicing and improved reliability
