In this race, he finished in the top 10 in three stages, including victory on the final stage (his first professional-level win) at Arthurs Seat. He came second overall in the race, 11 seconds behind Cameron Meyer (Orica–GreenEDGE). His next race was The REV Classic in New Zealand, Bevin's home race and newly promoted to 1.2 status; Bevin won the race in a three-man sprint.
Bevin then travelled to Taiwan to compete in the 2.1-ranked 2015 Tour de Taiwan. In the second stage, he won the hill-top finish ahead of Hossein Askari and took the race lead.

His next professional race was the Tour de Korea. Bevin finished first on stage 4 (beating Caleb Ewan in the sprint) and second on five others. He also finished second in both the general and the points classifications.
In August 2015, it was announced that Bevin had signed a two-year contract to ride in the UCI World Tour for Cannondale, with Jonathan Vaughters describing him as "a rider who seems to have it all".
