Discover living deserts, lush jungles, historic cities, hidden ruins, pristine beaches, vast canyons and a towering snow-capped volcano. Reducing tension on the adjustable clutch did lighten upshifting but increased the amount of chain slap and reduced overall chain stability, making the adjustment to a lighter setting a compromise not worth making. Although the derailleur’s limit screws and b-tension were easy to set, indexing the gears was much harder than I was expecting. The Box One Prime 9 drivetrain might last longer than SRAM’s offerings – thanks to the chunkier chain and cassette – but I don’t think you’d be able to live with the high-resistance shifter lever once you’ve experienced a lighter system.

I didn’t find myself stretching lower gears out with increased cadences on flatter sections or grinding up steeper hills in higher gears for longer because the gear ratios were too far apart. The cable clamp and cable stop don’t line up perfectly when the derailleur is in the highest few gears and the cable contacts the derailleur’s body.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Also had to look up some of the trivia; I personally don’t enjoy puzzles where anyone couldn’t solve it based purely on reasoning as opposed to knowing a niche fact.The maximum jump between gears is eight teeth (consistently between the lowest three gears), with the jumps decreasing as the gears become higher.

I followed the instructions to the letter to give the drivetrain the best chance possible of performing as intended.Installation was relatively straightforward and I was particularly thankful for the shifter’s hinged bar clamp, which meant I didn’t need to remove the grips or brake lever from the bar to install it. General operation was quiet, too, and shifting under power was good – as long as the shift lever was pushed far and hard enough. The clutch interferes with the derailleur’s ability to easily move into lower gears because of the mechanical coupling between the shifter and derailleur via the gear cable, leading to heavy shifter paddle operation.

Alex is also a dedicated eMTB rider, and still dabbles in racing of a sort, doing his best to top the Strava leaderboard on the steepest, gnarliest and twistiest trails the Tweed Valley has to offer – just for fun, of course.The Box One Prime 9 rear derailleur has been designed to work best with Box’s 9-speed 11-50t cassette. Prepare to set out on an exciting adventure like no other as you discover, decode, and unlock the secrets of Box ONE. Despite the 9-speed cassette offering fewer gears with larger steps between each cassette sprocket, I was pleasantly surprised by the range.
