Advanced TORAYCA Carbon Fibre Layup

The CIMA Speed Streams uses a premium carbon blend combining T1100, T800 and M40 fibres. This allows the frame to balance low weight, stiffness, ride feel and structural strength.

Lightweight Climbing-Focused Design

With a claimed unpainted frame weight of just 650g in size M, the CIMA is designed for riders who want a lightweight road bike frame for climbing, acceleration and fast changes of pace.

Aero-Optimised Tube Profiles

The frame uses aerodynamic tube shaping to reduce drag while maintaining the stiffness and low weight expected from a modern performance road frame. This makes it suitable for both climbing and fast flat-road efforts.

Internal Cable Routing

Fully internal routing creates a clean cockpit and improves aerodynamic efficiency. It also gives the bike a premium, professional appearance ideal for custom high-end road bike builds.

BSA Threaded Bottom Bracket

The BSA threaded bottom bracket is a practical choice for Australian riders and bike mechanics because it is reliable, serviceable and less prone to creaking than some press-fit systems.

SRAM UDH Compatibility

The Universal Derailleur Hanger design improves drivetrain compatibility and makes replacement easier, particularly useful for riders running modern SRAM electronic road groupsets.

CeramicSpeed SLT Headset Bearings

The inclusion of premium headset bearings adds long-term durability and smoother steering performance, especially valuable for riders covering high kilometres in varied Australian conditions.

The Evolve CIMA Speed Streams is best suited to cyclists wanting a lightweight, fast and modern carbon frameset for a premium custom build.

Best Suited For

Road racers
Competitive club cyclists
Lightweight bike enthusiasts
Riders upgrading from an alloy or mid-range carbon frame
Climbers and riders who value low frame weight
Cyclists building a custom Shimano Di2 or SRAM AXS road bike
Performance-focused riders seeking a high-value alternative to major Western brands

Cyclists Hub published an early product feature on the Evolve CIMA in April 2026, highlighting the frame’s claimed 650g unpainted size M weight, Silverstone wind tunnel development and positioning against premium lightweight road frames such as the Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 and Factor O2 VAM.

The review-style coverage noted that the CIMA appears to be aimed at riders wanting a very light climbing frame with aerodynamic testing rather than a traditional round-tube lightweight frame. It also highlighted the brand’s engineering background and the professional presentation of the frameset.

Retailer product feedback has also praised the CIMA for its balance of low weight, aero design, premium carbon construction, internal routing, CeramicSpeed headset bearings and UCI race approval.

Rider Feedback & Community Sentiment

As the Evolve CIMA is a newer frameset, long-term rider feedback is still developing. Early rider and enthusiast discussion has been positive, especially around:

Extremely low claimed frame weight
Premium carbon fibre material selection
Clean internal cable routing
High-end included hardware
Modern 32mm tyre clearance
BSA threaded bottom bracket practicality
Strong value compared with major premium race frames

Riders interested in lightweight custom road builds are particularly drawn to the CIMA because it offers high-end specifications normally associated with significantly more expensive framesets.

Why We Love It at Pedal Passion

We love the Evolve CIMA Speed Streams because it delivers the key ingredients Australian performance riders are looking for: low weight, aerodynamic efficiency, disc brake confidence, modern tyre clearance and a clean electronic groupset-ready design. It is an exciting option for riders who want to build something unique, fast and premium without simply choosing the same mainstream frameset everyone else is riding.
