Combining comfort and performance in just the right blend, the Access WS EXC is your passport to ride-anywhere fun. Featuring hydraulic disc brakes and the wide range and easy shifting of Shimano's 2x8 transmission, it puts all-weather stopping power and easy hill-climbing ability at your fingertips. And the Suntour suspension fork “ which improves comfort and control on rough surfaces, whether that's street or trail “ features a lockout, so you can enjoy bob-free climbing. It's all in the details, you see...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 our 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. Our SizeSplit system has an expanded range too, so every rider can find an Access WS that fits her perfectly.
