evolve® Introduces CIMA: Engineered for Speed, Built for the Summit

XIAMEN, China,May 22, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- As Chinese cycling brands step into the global spotlight,evolve®emerges as a standout with the launch of its debut performance road frame —CIMA. Made with a blend of T1100, T800, and M40 carbon fiber, the unpainted size M frame weighs just650g, showcasing elite-level innovation, design, and manufacturing all done in-house.

As GCN noted,"It looks legit — super light, uses top-end T1100 carbonwhich is the same as what you get in a lot of super high-end bikes from western brands, CeramicSpeed bearings in the headset, a threaded bottom bracket, and a beautiful paint job. It's ticking a lot of boxes."

Performance Meets Precision

The CIMA is available in six sizes for riders from 146cm to 202cm, offering two fork offsets and three BB drops to ensure consistent handling across the size range. Its29.4 N/mm bottom bracket stiffnessensures sharp power transfer, while the fork weighs just355g(unpainted), keeping the full setup impressively light.

AtChina Cycle 2025inShanghai, evolve® drew attention with a complete road bike weighing only4.95kg— featuring lightweight components, a premium wheelset, and Shimano Dura-Ace groupset. A standard high-end build would still easily fall below6.8kg, showing evolve®'s commitment to cutting-edge engineering and performance.

Proven in Labs and Real-World Conditions

CIMA has passed 21 rigorous in-house tests exceeding ISO standards, including a1440N seatpost fatigue testover 10,000 cycles. It was also independently certified byGermany'sZedler Institute, meeting their highest"Advanced"standard. This confirms that even with its ultra-lightweight construction, CIMA makes no compromises in rigidity or stiffness at all.

Wind tunnel testing at theSilverstone Sports Engineering Hub (UK)further confirmed CIMA's aerodynamic advantage. At45 km/h, it saves4.74 wattson average versus a leading international brand, with a lower CdA value — proving aerodynamic efficiency without compromise.

Complementary Innovation: Kreuza Accessories

To complete the ride experience, evolve® launchedKreuza, an accessory brand devoted to lightweight, aerodynamic, ergonomic design. Its flagshipApex handlebarweighs just305g (size 380×110, painted)and comes in18 sizes, delivering elite performance andcustom-fit comfort.
