A lot of you guys have been waiting for thisâa close look at the Box One. Just the derailleur and shifter would set you back about $250. Thatâs not cheap, and with their very established competitors offering a wide range of options in 1x11, consumers are going to want some tangible reasons to go with the relatively unproven Box One. Well thanks to you guys, Box sent me a derailleur and shifter to test out. Letâs take a close look at the Box One, install it, and go for a ride. Weâll start with the derailleur, which seems kind of big and heavy. Still it feels rugged, and I could see it taking a lot of abuse. It has a clutch, which is always engaged, and a cable stop which pivots when impacted. They call this âPivot Techâ. While this does seem like it would absorb side and rear impacts, itâs worth mentioning that Sramâs cable stop doesnât stick out in the first place. Of course, it also needs this little plastic wheel to get the cable going in the right direction. Shimanoâs solution is to position their derailleur further under the chainstay to keep the whole thing out of harmâs way. All three companies have significantly different approaches to protecting their derailleurs, all of which are quite innovative. Because the Box One is meant to be used as a 1x11, there doesnât appear to be a long or short cage version, just one size. It has less ground clearance than my Sram XO, but only by about half a centimeter. Yeah I went metric for you guys. So at first glance the major plus sides to the Box One derailleur are that itâs simple and robust. The downsides are that itâs pretty big and kind of pricey. Letâs move on to the shifter. This is where things start to get really interesting, because the Box One âPush Pushâ shifter only has one switch. Shifting into bigger gears is done just like Shimano or Sram, by pushing the lever forwards with your thumb. To upshift, you push that same lever laterally with the tip of your thumb. I donât know if this is better or just different, but itâs certainly innovative. Alright let me show you guys something really cool, but first I need to rebuild my Sram GX shifter. Iâll just remove these little screws and take this little plate off and ghhaaaa!!! Iâd rather buy a new one than open this can of worms. Now letâs say youâve had a particularly rough season on your Box One, and you want to get it running like new. The whole assembly literally drops out of the shifter into your hand. Presumably, you could recklessly clean this entire thing in degreaser, re-lube it, and get it working like new. A user serviceable shifter will certainly win Box some brownie points. When installing the Box One, I needed to take my grip and brake off to get the shifter on. It doesnât have a two piece clamp, but no big deal. It nested under my Sram Guide brake lever nicely. I should have brought a new cable housing though, because I needed a few extra inches to reach the cable stop. So, my cables will be a little messy today. The rest of the installation went ridiculously smooth. I set the limits, adjusted the B screw, and tightened the cable to find it shifting perfectly. Iâll chalk this up to good luck. Time to hit the trails. Most experienced mountain bikers could tell the difference between Sram and Shimano with their eyes closed. Shimano has a heavy clunky feel, while Sram has a light clicky feel. I actually like both of them with a slight preference for Shimano. On down shifts, the Box One feels more like Shimano than it does Sram, but the long lever feels totally different than both companies. Needless to say the lateral upshifts would be a new experience to anyone. I found it effortless to prod at it with my thumb, however I wouldnât want to push it any harder. If things werenât working optimally I could see this being annoying, but I donât know for sure if that would ever be an issue. I got used to the Box One almost immediately. At no point during my ride did I reach for an invisible lever. Maybe it was because I was excited to use it and consciously thinking about it, or maybe because Iâm used to demoing lots of different components. The clutch seemed to work fine, and my bike wasnât any noisier than usual. I had no problems shifting, and no regrets about putting the Box One on my bike. That morning, it performed as well as anything Iâve tried from Sram or Shimano. I liked it. It just feels fun and enjoyable to use. For the full transcript, turn on closed captions.
