Evolve CIMA GR Frameset

Product Overview

Ultralight. Aero gravel. Race‑ready. The evolution of speed on dirt.

The Evolve CIMA GR is the first aerodynamic gravel frameset from evolve®—the brand behind the legendary 650g CIMA road frame. Named in tribute to the legendary Cima Coppi, the highest point of the Giro d'Italia, the CIMA GR transfers the same obsessive pursuit of lightweight performance from tarmac to gravel.

Derived directly from the award‑winning CIMA road platform, the CIMA GR weighs just 750g for an unpainted size M frame—an extraordinary figure for a gravel platform designed to tackle rough trails, long‑distance competitions, and the most demanding races. Tested at the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub wind tunnel, the CIMA GR saves up to 17.28W at 35km/h compared to other gravel frames in its class. Already proven in European competition, the CIMA GR has helped the MG.K Vis Continental team secure victories—including the climbers' classification at the Ethias Tour de Wallonie.
