Description

The Box Four range is ideal for those who prefer a hassle-free experience! If you like Prime 9 but think 8 speeds are sufficient, and 12 - 42T offers plenty of range for an 8-speed cassette, this is the product for you. The Box Four derailleur features a Limited Slip clutch and comes with a more compact cage. The custom 8-speed chain is tough enough to withstand abuse and has its own wide/narrow chainring for better performance.

Using this Box Four 8-speed groupset is straightforward. If you're a regular mountain bike rider, go for the multishift option. It'll make your rides easier and maintenance a breeze. Just shift as you normally would and enjoy the trails. For e-bikers, the single shift option is your best bet. It works well with the electric motor and provides a reliable performance. Remember, the multishift option won't work with e-bikes, so choose carefully. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the chain. Clean it regularly to ensure smooth shifting. Check the derailleur and shifter for any signs of wear or damage. When it comes to the cassette, make sure it's properly aligned. If you're looking for the best performance, use a narrow/wide 11-speed chainring from the recommended brands. That way, you'll have a great riding experience every time.
