Cube Access WS C:62 Pro 2018 Mountain bike Carbon/Mint

When your riding aspirations stretch further than your local train centre, you'll want a bike that can match them. That's why we developed the Access C:62 Pro - an all new carbon-framed hardtail for women who love the climbs as much as they do the singletrack descents. With a new frame for 2018 and a selection of components that reads almost like a wish-list, this is a bike that you're going to fall in love with. The smooth RockShox Recon Silver fork is easy to adjust and has 100mm of rock-swallowing travel. Shimano's 2x11 gears feature a wide range and super-reliable shifting. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes mean you're always in control, no matter how steep the trail. And our Size Split system means we've an Access C:62 Pro to suit every rider, from the 13.5 inch 27.5 model to the 19 inch 29er.

We took everything we've learnt about building great handling, lightweight carbon hardtails... and put it into the Access C:62 Pro frame. Starting with our premium C:62 carbon, our engineers refined the rear end to make it shorter and stiffer, building in a Boost thru axle for good measure. The result is improved tracking and steering, even sharper acceleration and, combined with our Agile Ride Geometry (ARG), livelier handling all round. With a PressFit bottom bracket and integrated headset, the entire chassis is lighter than before, too. Slim seatstays and a 27.2mm seatpost help take some of the buzz out of the trail for greater comfort - good news if you like to ride not just hard, but long too. And we routed cables internally, partly to maintain the frame's good looks and partly so that you can be assured of long-lasting smooth gear shifting. There's even provision for a later upgrade to a Stealth dropper post.
