The Access WLS GTC SL’s name may not snap off the tongue but it’ll certainly be a snappy ride through the woods and at a great price tag too. It has a lightweight GTC carbon fiber frame manufactured with the Twin Mold process and oversized tube diameters at the head tube and the PressFit bottom bracket to give lateral stiffness. Internal Cable Routing protects from dirt and keep the smooth lines nice and clean.
There are three frame sizes available, 15, 17, 19“ the smallest size frame is designed with 27.5“ wheels and larger sizes have 29“ wheels. The spec is good for the money too, with Manitou Marvel TS Air fork with 100mm of travel and remote lockout, and Sun Ringle Radium MA wheelset, all of which are strikingly colour coordinated with the frame graphics.
Shimano gears and brakes make up the groupset and range from Shimano SLX shifters and triple crankset to Deore hydraulic brakes and Shimano XT derailleurs. Cube’s quality components finsh off the spec with Trail riser bars, stem, grips and seatpost. All in all, it‘s a fun and fast ride at a great price!
