Axess is a proprietary brand from the bike retailer Lucky Bike. The dealer aims to attract price-conscious buyers with the PRIDE by forgoing trendy gimmicks and focusing on the essentials. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Axess is a very balanced customer. The combination of high stack and short top tube makes the riding position pleasantly comfortable. Despite small weaknesses, above all, this argument is likely to convince: the Shimano brake will slow you down excellently. With the competitors you need deeper pockets for the same braking force. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Axess PRIDE sizing runs small.
