The Axial WS's blend of speed and comfort is an ideal introduction to the world of pedal-powered fitness and freedom. Its disc brake setup ensures you can slow and stop safely in any weather conditions. Shimano's 2x8 Claris gears offer a wide range, ease of use and legendary reliability. There's a carbon fork for extra ride comfort, and we chose contact points like the saddle and handlebars carefully so that you can be sure every ride is comfortable from start to finish. Throw in a pair of fast-rolling, grippy Continental Ultra Sport tyres and you're all set.
Frame description A fast bike should also be a comfortable bike, and the Axial WS's double-butted aluminium, disc-compatible chassis combines both in a beautifully integrated package. The tapered head tube and cross-ovalised down tube ensure accurate steering and rapid forward progress, while the carbon fork and slender seatstays help filter out road buzz and shock to keep you comfortable for the long haul. It's the best of both worlds.
Find your size!
Enter your height and inseam below and click on 'Calculate my frame size' to see which size you need. You measure your inseam as follows:
1. Stand barefoot with your heels against the wall. Place your feet about 6 inches apart.
2. Grab a book and place it between your legs, with the short side of the book against the wall. Press the book up against your crotch, mimicking the idea of a bicycle saddle.
3. Measure the length from the top of the book to the floor, the distance you measure is your inseam.
