There are times in life when only the best will do “ and this is one of them. The Access WS C:62 SL is unapologetically uncompromising. Fast, light, nimble and responsive, every detail is designed to help you extract the absolute maximum from your time on the trail. With its stiff, light and lively carbon chassis, it would have been rude of us not to select the very best components. So that's what we did. Sram's GX Eagle transmission serves up 12 perfectly spaced gears with an enormous range, positive shifting and incredibly simple operation. Shimano's XT hydraulic disc brakes offer unparalleled stopping power “ with a little help from the light, stiff and strong Fulcrum Red 55 wheels and grippy Schwalbe tyres. And the RockShox Reba air suspension fork with remote lockout is superbly accomplished rock swallower, giving you more speed, greater comfort and better control. We even included Newmen Evolution cockpit components “ and the Size Split system means that, no matter how tall you are, there's an Access WS C:62 SL that will fit you perfectly. The only thing left to do is to decide where you're going to ride next...Built from our high quality C:62 carbon, our engineering team's goal with the Access WS C:62 SL was a simple one: to build the lightest, stiffest and best handling women's hardtail that they possibly could. It's why they started with a short rear end incorporating a Boost thru axle “ because efficient pedalling and accurate steering are the cornerstone of any great mountain bike. Our Agile Ride Geometry adds the lively, nimble and safe feel you'd expect from a CUBE, and the slender 27.2mm seatpost and slim seatstays improve comfort over rough surfaces, so won't get beaten up even on long rides. There's a PressFit bottom bracket and integrated headset to save weight, while the internally routed cables keep dust, dirt and water from messing up your gear changes “ and mean you can spend more time riding, and less time maintaining your bike. Want to push your boundaries? We even thought of that, with routing for a simple dropper post upgrade.
