Evolve CIMA GR

Rear clearance is highly dependent on tire brand, model, rim width, and tire height. The seat stays taper severely, creating a choke point at the tread cap. Many 50mm tires rub or have less than 3mm clearance. Official recommendation is 35–45mm. Some 45mm tires fit with ~5–7mm clearance, but 50mm fitment varies; e.g., Pathfinder 50 may fit on some rims, while Schwalbe RX Pro 50 and Hutchinson Toureg Race 50 do not.

Yes, there is a cable port under the front derailleur hanger and a seatpost battery clip included, so 2x Di2 setups are possible. Some early reports claiming no 2x support were incorrect.

Delivery times vary. Some orders experienced delays of up to 3 months beyond the initial estimate. One user reported a lead time of 20–30 days that was pushed back by 3 months.

Users note that the CIMA GR has similar geometry to the Crux and is lighter and more affordable. However, the Crux has better rear tire clearance. The CIMA GR is seen as a wallet-friendly alternative with comparable ride quality.

The front fork fits 50mm tires with approximately 6mm clearance on each side, meeting the published spec. Larger tires may fit but are not recommended.

Yes, the frame is compatible with both SRAM and Shimano electronic and mechanical groupsets. It supports 1x and 2x setups, and users have built it with Shimano GRX/Ultegra and SRAM Force/Rival XPLR.

Complete builds have been reported as low as 7.2 kg (size M) with 40mm tires. Another build with SRAM Force/Rival XPLR 1x13 weighed 7.6 kg including pedals. The frame is about 350g heavier than a 2025 Giant TCR Pro 0.

Yes, but the internal storage compartment is relatively small, and the opening is above the bottle cage position, making it less easy to insert an inner tube bag. The cover is also described as simple compared to the rest of the bike.
