Weighing 13 kg, the Access WS SL is light and agile. The Shimano BR-MT400 hydraulic disc brakes (180/160) deliver reliable braking performance in a variety of conditions. Gear changes are handled by the SRAM NX Eagle™ 12-speed system, which offers a wide range of gear ratios and is precisely controlled by the SRAM NX Eagle™ trigger shifter.

The RockShox Judy Silver TK Air fork, with 100 mm of travel and PopLoc function, ensures a comfortable and controlled ride over uneven terrain. The bike is fitted with CUBE PP MTB pedals, which provide a secure grip. The SRAM Stylo Eagle™ DUB crankset, with 32 teeth and a length of 170 mm, and the SRAM PG-1210 Eagle™ cassette (11-50T) complete the drivetrain, which is also from SRAM SX Eagle™.

The handlebars are the CUBE Rise Trail Bar, 680 mm wide, complemented by CUBE Performance grips for a comfortable grip. The stem is the CUBE Performance Stem SL with a diameter of 31.8 mm. The VP semi-integrated headset ensures precise steering.

The bike rides on CUBE ZX20 rims with 32 spokes and Schwalbe Smart Sam Active tyres in size 2.25, which provide good grip and durability. The front and rear hubs are Shimano Deore HB-M6000/FH-M6000 with quick-release skewers and CentreLock brake disc mounts.

The Natural Fit Venec Lite WS saddle offers comfort even on longer rides, mounted on a CUBE Performance seatpost with a diameter of 27.2 mm. The saddle is clamped using the CUBE Varioclose clamp with a diameter of 31.8 mm.
