You may have heard of the saying that the frame is the heart of any bicycle. We're a firm believer that that's true “ and it's the reason that, for the fourth-generation Bosch-powered Access Hybrid, we set out to develop a brand-new frame. Drawing on all our experience of mountain bike hybrids, we refined an already highly regarded chassis with new features and better handling “ and our Size Split system and trapeze frame option makes it easy for every woman to find her perfect fit. With 100mm of smooth fork travel and a seat tube and internal cable routing that's ready to accept a stealth dropper post, it's designed to be comfortable to ride, easy to live with and simple to upgrade as your riding skills progress and your needs change. We even included a kickstand mount, just in case that's something that you'd like to add. Backed by the reassurance of having passed all our strict in-house safety tests, the Access Hybrid is all you need to discover a whole new dimension to your riding.The Access Hybrid Pro combines the riding experience of a real mountain bike with the unhampered mobility and freedom that only a fourth-generation Bosch e-bike can offer. It's a powerful combination, and one which we're sure you're going to love. Brand new for 2020, our engineers have created an entirely fresh frame design. Built around the specific requirements of Bosch's superb CX drive unit, it draws on our years of experience working on both hybrids and mountain bike design to create an elegant, functional and easy-to-live-with frame. With an On-tube battery mount and neat features like integrated cable routing, we've put the emphasis on easy handling and dependable reliability “ and we're super-confident making that claim, because as with all our frames we've put it through the mill in our own in-house lab to ensure it's more than strong and durable enough for the job. Sram's incredible SX Eagle 12-speed gears provide easy selection and an amazing range of ratios “ more than enough to tackle even the steepest of climbs with ease, when combined with the smooth torque and effortless power delivery of the Bosch system. The Suntour suspension fork works with the extra-wide 2.6in Schwalbe tyres to smooth out the trail ahead, and powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes ensure you've always plenty of power to control your speed, come rain or shine. It's everything you need for trail-exploring fun, so what's stopping you?
