With the new Super Record, Record, and Chorus groupsets, shifting is extremely easy thanks to the long front plate of the front mech body, meaning greater leverage and therefore truly reduced movement when shifting. Shifting precision is achieved thanks to the design of the new narrower cages. The semi-inner cage, in aluminium, has features that improve shifting speed. The most efficient downshifting on the market is achieved thanks to the integrated outer semi-cage in carbon fibre, a distinctive Campagnolo feature on the Super Record and Record front mechs, or by the positioning of a plate on the tip of the Chorus front mech. Special Inner Cage Design The inner semi-cage, in aluminium, has features that improve shifting speed, give greater rigidity and provides more space for chain crossovers

S2 System (Secure Shifting System) The special support system built into the derailleur safeguards working of the drivetrain, guaranteeing maximum compatibility with frames on the market. In other words a derailleur fitted with an accessory that, when assembled on the frame, safeguards the working of the drivetrain on any frame. Special Inner Cage Design The inner semi-cage, in aluminium, has features that improve shifting speed, give greater rigidity and provides more space for chain crossovers
Absolute personalisation thanks to the two colour versions available (silver or black). And the weight has been reduced to below 100 grams.

This means that it brings you precise, fast, and reliable shifting at a price that won't break the bank! Featuring a one-piece steel cage and a long lever rod, the Centaur front mech provides effortless operation between chainrings and reduces the force required on the shifter. Race ready and built to last, this is one component that easily outperforms many others at this price point.
It has been finely tuned down to the smallest detail to obtain the maximum effectiveness. The Record™ rear derailleur ensures speed and precision in every situation. Disc Brake Frame Specific This HO (Hydraulically Optimised) version is specifically designed for use on disc brake frames that feature the wider 12x142mm rear dropout spacing. It features an adapted mounting link for easier thru axle removal and larger teeth on the upper pulley for precise shifting at more extreme chainlines.
This design ensures precise operation with reduced friction and maximum shifting rigidity. Also, the Centaur is only made in one cage size and compatible with cassettes with up to a 32 tooth sprocket, so there's no need to swap the mech when you want to run a different cassette range. The Centaur rear mech features trickle-down technology from Campagnolo's top-end models, making it a race ready component, but at a more wallet friendly price!
Super Record components have always gone hand-in-hand with competitions and wins, and still today represents for professional racers the certainty of fast and extremely precise shifting, even under load. You don't have to be a pro to take advantage of Campagnolo's best performance features, the fun is for all. Ultra Efficient The revised shape of the external components of the Super Record HO allows it to move efficiently to give maximum performance at any angle. The design of the cage keeps the chain closer to the cassette to ensure better power transfer, a more positive drive, whilst perfectly following the curve of the sprockets. This better chain/sprocket interface also gives greater durability of components. Disc Brake Frame Specific This HO (hydraulically optimised) version is specifically designed for use on disc brake frames that feature the wider 12x142mm rear dropout spacing. It features an adapted mounting link for easier thru axle removal and larger teeth on the upper pulley for precise shifting at more extreme chainlines.
One of the stand-out features is the “Embrace” technology, which ensures an ultra-efficient chain and cassette interface, secure chain grip, increased durability, and excellent power transfer. Disc Brake Frame Specific This HO (hydraulically optimised) version is specifically designed for use on disc brake frames that feature the wider 12x142mm rear dropout spacing. It features an adapted mounting link for easier thru axle removal and larger teeth on the upper pulley for precise shifting at more extreme chainlines. Technologies: Ultra-Shift™: This control system by Campagnolo is regarded by everyone as the fastest and most precise out there. With this system, you can move the chain simultaneously up 3 sprockets and then 5 down. Furthermore, the lever design allows for an ever lighter shifting, whilst maintaining the "click" sound featured on all Campagnolo® controls. Embrace Technology: This technology increases the number of sprocket teeth wrapped by the chain, allowing smooth, fast, and prompt shifting. Proven to optimise the functionality of the rear derailleur even when using extreme cassettes such as 11-32T.

This Box Four rear mech is the base of Prime 9 Technology, which offers an affordable clutch based 1 by 8 speed derailleur that is simple and light. This makes it an ideal candidate for every entry-level bike that traditionally has a 3 by drive-train that is neither durable nor user friendly. Compatibility: • Box Four 8 Speed Shifter Black • Box Four 8 Speed 116 Link Chain Natural • Box Four 8 Speed 11-42T Cassette Black • Box Four 8 speed Wide/Narrow Chainring 104BCD 32T Black FAQ: Are Box Prime 9 derailleurs compatible with Shimano "direct mount" hangers? No, Shimano direct mount hangers are proprietary and are not compatible with Box derailleurs. Is the Box Four Prime 9 Derailleur compatible with other 8 speed components? No, traditional 8 speed systems use a Cable Pull that is not compatible with Prime 9. Are Box Prime 9 derailleurs compatible with drop bar (road) shifters? No, Box Prime 9 derailleurs are not currently compatible with drop bar shifters, but we do offer a clamp for our shifters to mount on some 31.8mm drop handle bars. How should I clean my Box Four Prime 9 derailleur? We suggest removing the derailleur from the bike and using a soft bristle brush or rag with soapy water or a mild de-greaser. We do not recommend pressure washing, strong solvents or de-greasers as they could degrade the surface coating.
