Evolve CIMA Nirvana Road Bike Frame

The Evolve CIMA frame set provides the ultimate foundation for an uncompromising and super-lightweight racer. Combining aggressive geometry with high-quality aerodynamics, this bike performs very well as a versatile all-rounder, yet at the same time is fully ready for the highest level of competition.

Aerodynamic and fully race-ready
In addition to the UCI-approved frame, this complete frame set also includes the fork, seatpost and all essential hardware. The design has been optimised using the results of extensive wind tunnel tests at Silverstone, resulting in a bike that cuts through the wind effortlessly. The cables run internally and enter through the top headset spacer, making for a very tidy cockpit. As the spacer is designed exclusively for brake lines, the frame is only compatible with electronic groupsets; a mechanical groupset simply does not fit. Weighing just 650g in size M, the Nirvana frame is one of the lighter frames in the cycling world. To ensure that every rider experiences the exact same sharp and active steering behaviour, Evolve uses three different bottom bracket drops and two forks with varying offset across the size range. The included seatpost is 380 mm long as standard and has a 10 mm offset.

Sophisticated carbon lay-up
The Nirvana's impressive weight-to-power ratio is due to a clever blend of three carbon fibre types that increases overall stiffness by as much as 12%. The extremely strong T1100 fibre is used at junctions that require high tensile strength. This is complemented by T800 carbon, which provides an ideal balance between stiffness and tensile strength. Finally, high-modulus M40 carbon adds absolute top stiffness. The result is a robust, responsive and ultra-light frame.

High-end build specifications
When it comes to the product's finish, Evolve leaves nothing to chance. As standard, the frame set includes high-quality CeramicSpeed SLT headset bearings. These have an extremely long service life and are virtually maintenance-free, eliminating any disadvantage of wear caused by internal cable routing. The bottom bracket uses a trusted and creak-free BSA thread. The derailleur hanger is a universal SRAM UDH model, which makes finding a spare or replacement for it very easy. Naturally, matching thru-axles are also included in the set.

Optional Kreuza cockpit
The optionally available, super aerodynamic Kreuza Apex handlebar is made of stiff T800 carbon and is a featherweight addition to the frame. The handlebar has a slight flare for more stability and control when riding in the drops.
