I will say I loved a few of the items included which also means I don't want to rebox it to give to someone else unfortunately. As such, the Box One Prime 9 system has been designed with durability and shifting performance in mind, and although it only has nine gears, it still shares its wide-ratio cassette range with other brands’ 12-speed offerings. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

At the clutch’s factory setting, there was significantly more chain slap than I was expecting and when pedalling in a high gear over rough ground, the gears had a tendency to skip around the cassette. The engagement of each shift wasn’t very positive, either, which lead to occasional missed shifts when I let go of the cable-pull lever before the shifter mechanism had fully engaged.The Box Two cassette was originally designed for use with ebikes and uses sprockets made from stamped steel that are pinned to an alloy spider, to help deal with the extra stresses an electric motor dishes out. The Box Two Prime 9 cassette uses Shimano’s HG freehub standard which means the smallest sprocket size is limited to 11t while the largest cog is 50t – only one or two teeth away from the biggest offerings from SRAM and Shimano.

Arguably, the HG freehub standard is still the most common, especially on less expensive bikes, but that is starting to change and XD and Micro Spline systems are taking over. Games built using the Xbox Series X|S development kit are designed to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Xbox Series X|S. However, general shifting was good and with a positive push of the lever (more on this below) the derailleur didn’t miss any shifts and wasn’t hesitant in its operation.Immerse yourself in a deep campaign with hundreds of challenges that reward you for engaging in the activities you love.

I followed the instructions to the letter to give the drivetrain the best chance possible of performing as intended.

The finish on the chain and cassette have shown little signs of wear during the test period and the teeth haven’t become hooked or the chain links stretched. I did like the steps between each of the 9-speed cassette’s sprockets and overall reliability was pretty good. It has nickel plating that’s claimed to help reduce corrosion and is coated with its Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) finish to improve hardness, reduce wear and increase smoothness.

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 factory setting for the derailleur’s clutch is stiff, which means its initial movement has a significant resistance peak before the cage is able to smoothly pivot forwards.
