Evolve and ELITEWHEELS showcase race-ready engineering at IBF 2026

The exhibition centers on the intersection of engineering and professional utility. Evolve is showcasing its CIMA road and CIMA GR gravel platforms, emphasizing a methodology rooted in measurable weight, stiffness, and aerodynamic efficiency. Beside them, ELITEWHEELS draws on over 15 years of carbon manufacturing history to present wheelsets validated by UCI professional riders.

Beyond hardware, the festival serves as a platform for direct exchange between industry experts and the peloton. On September 4, professional cyclist Domenico Pozzovivo, alongside members of the Italian team MG.K Vis, conducted sessions detailing the nuances of equipment selection for Grand Tour competition. Pozzovivo noted that reliability remains the primary requirement for elite racing, a standard he attributes to his experience with ELITEWHEELS components.

The presence at the Misano World Circuit signals a broader push for the brands to deepen their footprint in European markets. By integrating professional team collaborations with direct consumer test rides, both companies are leveraging the festival to refine their R&D pipelines for the coming seasons.
