LifeLine Prime Armour Road tyres combine the speed-focused properties of the Prime Race model with advanced puncture protection features for added confidence on difficult road surfaces, remote endurance rides and fast regular commutes. Please read the Review from BikesEtc magazine. Also, please read the Review from Road.cc The slick centre tread keeps straight line rolling resistance to an absolute minimum while a channeled pattern in the shoulders provides increased grip in the corners and helps to shift surface water in wet conditions. The 70a durometer compound offers increased traction for confidence on twisty descents and hairpin turns. Effective Puncture Protection A tough and lightweight Kevlar breaker sits beneath the tread to guard against road debris, helping prevent punctures caused by rolling directly over sharp objects. In addition, the entire casing includes nylon reinforcement for defense at the sidewalls. The 120tpi (threads per inch) casing provides increased strength and flexibility while reducing weight. This allows the tyre to withstand the high pressures needed for racing, and the reduced rotational mass offers faster acceleration and agile handling. The aramid folding beads provide a secure interface with the rim whilst also allowing easy installation. 23mm or 25mm? LifeLine Prime Armour Road Tyres are available in 23mm and 25mm options so you can choose between the feedback and precision of 23s, or the more cushioned and stable feel of 25s.

This 9 speed shifter makes good use of nylon composites in both top and bottom shells as well as in the lever. Box Three is Box's performance and value tier, so this shifter sheds all the fancy trappings of the top 2 tiers but still maintains their incredible 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.

This 9 speed MTB chain features a hardened alloy steel construction, which makes it more than capable of handling every challenge that you're met with on the mountains. Classed as Box's best performing chain, this model is also equipped with a durable dual-coating with nickel-plating for protection against corrosion. This makes it suitable for use in all-weather conditions, while its durable hardened solid pins give it extra durability on the most demanding of trails. The Box One chain is protected by our dual-coating. We start with Nickel plating which aids in corrosion resistance and then top it off with the "Diamond-Like Carbon" layer. The DLC is as fancy as it sounds; a synthetic diamond nano-coating that turns up the volume on hardness, wear-resistance, and slickness. All Prime 9 chains have chamfered shifting edges, solid plates and solid pins to safeguard durability. Our unique inner link spacing is engineered to grab those modern wide/narrow chainrings. We chose to modernize the 9-speed platform due to the chain's spirited reputation.
