The Box Three tier delivers many of the same capabilities of its more famous siblings yet it's built upon a simpler platform. Cassettes are accessible at 11-50T and fashioned without spiders. The derailleur exploits our Limited Slip clutch technology without the Tri-pack features. Shift easily with a comparable mechanism, although you'll forgo the hinged clamp and die-cast structure. And lastly, string it all together with a Prime 9 chain but without extravagant coatings. If you're looking to bring your 2/3 by bike into the 21st century, then level up with this group! Box Three Prime 9 Cassette The Box Three cassette draws from both of its Box One and Box Two siblings to create a sensible all-rounder. All cogs are stamped from steel and subsequently, the larger ones are pinned to steel spiders. The main difference here versus Box Two is the use of additional weight-reducing holes on the cogs.

The Box Two groupset delivers similar performance to the top-tier Box One without the costly features. You still get the Tri-Pack (TM) Clutch in the rear mech only it isn't adjustable. The cassette's 11-50T range is equally impressive and the action on the shifter is just as snappy although you don't get the rigid die-cast pull lever. Completing this groupset is its high-quality chain, which boasts impressive torque power and speed as you explore the trails on your mountain bike. Box Two Prime 9 Shifter The Box Two shifter is the only shifter on the market (other than our Box One) that comes factory stock with a hinged clamp.

The Box Four groupset is designed for riders who want less fuss. It features an 8 speed shifter and an 11-42T cassette, which offers a great range of gearing to meet the demands of your off-road adventures. Designed for smooth performance, its rear mech uses a Limited Slip clutch in a compact cage. A final highlight is its custom 8 speed chain that's built for abuse. This makes it a great groupset for riders that want strong groupset without all the frills and at a wallet-friendly price. Box Four 8 Speed Shifter The Box Four shifter's main features aren't strikingly different from Box Three's. The key difference is its 8-speed platform. We've chosen to modernize the 8-speed in much the same way we did the 9-speed for Prime 9. Just like the Prime 9, the Box Four shifters take advantage of the "less is more" theme and exploit durability, simplicity, and reliability.
