Exploring off-road is addictive and, if you're hooked on it too, you'll know that the right bike can make all the difference. The Access WS SLX's combination of reliable, trail-worthy components and elegant frame design that blends great handling with day-long comfort is right on the money.

If you've been well and truly bitten by the off-road riding bug, the Access WS SLX is going to be right up your street. Light, nimble and brilliantly equipped, it's all you need to explore further. SRAM's superb NX Eagle 1x12 gears put a huge range of climb-swallowing ratios under your thumb, while powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes - with a larger rotor up front - keep you in full control at all times. And the RockShox Judy Silver air fork is plush, comfortable and easily adjustable to suit you. It's got your name written all over it...

The Access WS's sleek looks are thanks to its Smooth Welded head tube and seat tube junctions. It incorporates internal cable routing for reliable gear changes and lower maintenance. There's even a flat disc mount that integrates seamlessly with Cube's kickstand mount, and integrated mounting points for Acid mudguards and carrier. Updated geometry includes a lower top tube for more confident handling, and there's plenty of room to run wide, grippy and comfortable 2.25in tyres. Cube's Size Split system has an expanded range too, so every rider can find an Access WS that fits her perfectly.

Features

Bike fit is as personal as clothing sizes. That's why, for the Cube Access series, they took care to make sure that every frame is perfectly proportioned. The smallest frame sizes feature a specially shaped top tube for extra clearance. From the medium frame size up there's still plenty of confidence-inspiring room, but the dimensions and proportions are as ideally suited to female riders as the smaller sizes. With the help of Cube's Size Split system, it means that every rider can find her ideal frame. Because at Cube, they believe that the bike should fit you - not the other way round.

Smooth Welding isn't easy, but worthwhile things usually aren't. It has two advantages. First, and most obviously, it looks great: one tube seems to almost flow into the other. Second, and at least as importantly, it helps to minimise load peaks on welded areas for better frame strength and durability.

Women tend to have slightly different body proportions compared to men, and that can affect bike fit and function. That's why Cube's Women's Series pays particular attention to frame sizing and to details like the saddle, stem and handlebars. Contact points selected specifically to suit a woman's anatomy help add comfort and build confidence, so you can enjoy every ride more.

Cables connect your handlebar controls to vital components like gears and brakes, but there's no need for them to get in your way. With Internal Cable Routing we've reduced clutter and maintenance by running cables through the frame, keeping them out of the way of dust and water contamination - or damage from abrasion - as well as cleaning up your bike's appearance.

A kickstand can be useful, no two ways about it. But if it's going to do its job properly, it needs a secure mount. That's why they put as much effort into designing the Kickstand Mount for Cube's frames as they do for any other feature. Neat, unobtrusive but exceptionally strong and stable, it's the best way to help keep your Cube bike upright when you're not riding it.

Flexibility is important for a bike that's going to slot into your life. That's why, for Cube's Semi Integrated Carrier Mount, they designed a system that's unobtrusive when you don't need it and really simple to use when you do. By adding Cube's Semi-Integrated Carrier your Cube can take on the shopping, your commute, or take you further afield at the weekend...

The right bike should fit you perfectly. That's why they created Size Split. For shorter riders, the smaller 27.5" wheel standard allows us to build frames that fit well while remaining agile and sure-footed. And, for taller riders, they built a range of sizes around the fast-rolling 29er wheel standard. Whichever one you choose, you can be sure of a fit that makes your bike feel as though it was built just for you.
