There are times when less can be more – and that's certainly the case with the Access WS Race. Shimano's 2x11 Deore gears are easy to use and cover a huge range of ratios for tackling any trail. The RockShox Judy Silver air fork – with remote lockout – can be easily set up to suit your own riding style, whether that's firmer for more control or softer for more comfort. And powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes work with the tenacious grip of Schwalbe tyres to keep you in full control, so you can ride it your way.

Frame description
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.
