You know that saying, 'power is nothing without control?' We took it to heart with the Access WS EAZ. That's why it's equipped with powerful, easily-controllable Tektro hydraulic disc brakes and grippy, easy-rolling Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres. With all that stopping power at your fingertips, you can concentrate on enjoying the ride “ whatever the weather, or the conditions beneath your tyres. A Suntour suspension fork helps smooth out the bumps, 24 easy-shifting Shimano gears mean you'll always be able to find the right gear for any trail and, like all our WS bikes, our designers selected female-specific rider contact points for the best day-long comfort. And the best part? Thanks to our Size Split system, every rider can find her perfect fit.You'll find the same attention to detail in the Access WS EAZ's frame as you would in, say, one of our top-of-the-range race bikes. That matters because it means you can trust your bike to perform to the same exacting standards of comfort, control, durability and safety. Built around our Compact Agile Ride Geometry, the Access WS EAZ's frame is designed to offer the best possible fit for day-long ride comfort, as well as confidence-inspiring handling. A slightly lowered top tube improves confidence by adding extra standover clearance, whilst a newly designed down tube provides the strong, rigid backbone that's essential for a stable ride and accurate steering. We've tweaked the mudguard and rack mounting points to make them even neater than before, and cables run internally to keep them out of the way of the elements and to reduce maintenance. And, of course, it's met and exceeded the exceptionally high standards we set in our own in-house torture-testing lab “ so you can rest assured that it'll be a reliable, safe companion for years to come.
