Box Three Prime 9sp Drivetrain Groupset
The Box Three groupset offers the same capability as its top-tier siblings but it's built around a simpler platform.
The cassette is more accessible at 11-46T and fashioned without a spider.
The rear mech exploits Box's Limited Slip clutch technology without the Tri-pack features. This allows you to shift easily with a comparable mechanism, although you'll forgo the hinged clamp and die-cast structure. Lastly, it's strung together with a Prime 9 chain but without extravagant coatings.
If you're looking to bring your mountain bike into the 21st century, then level up with this group. Box Three Prime 9 Shifter The Box Three shifter makes good use of nylon composites in both top and bottom shells as well as the levers. Box Three is our performance and value tier.
So this shifter sheds all the fancy trappings of the top 2 tiers but maintains their shifting characteristics. All Prime 9 shifters take advantage of the 9-speed's inherent durability, simplicity, and reliability. Not only is the shifter mechanism joyfully simplified, but fewer shifts are needed for every mile of travel.
And the best part is? Prime 9 is also terribly forgiving so you won't have to constantly adjust your set-up.
