Cube Access WS SLX 2023

Where it stands

Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but another bike in its price range is priced further below it in the sizes where both are in stock. That is the only reason it is not the pick.

Where to buy

Other shops list what looks like this bike, but we cannot confirm it is the same build, because the model year or drivetrain is not settled, so we do not compare their prices.

Price so far

• B.O.C. states an RRP of €1,199 (25% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
