Availability: InStock

Engineered for exceptional off-road performance, the Box Three Prime 9 Speed X-Wide Groupset gives you fast and smooth operation on your mountain bike.

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.

Box Three Prime 9 Shifter

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?
