Run variant by variant through the mountain bike builder’s own engine. Every sentence below is the checker’s, unedited. Nothing here says this part fits your bike; it says what it does and does not fit among the parts we hold.

Checked against 5708 verified mountain bike parts in this catalog. 4680 produced no finding of any kind; that is BoXXer Base D1 200 (29) (2023). BoXXer Ultimate 200 (27.5) (2023) clears 4157. Each variant produces 268 to 497 distinct errors and 13 to 14 distinct warnings.

Checked against

The checker ran this model against every verified part below that it has a slot for, the same way it checks a build in the builder. What follows is the verdict it actually produced for that specific pairing — not a recommendation, and not a guarantee any of these parts fits your own bike.

6 of 1864 counterparts with a page of their own that the checker actually probed this model against, in alphabetical order by brand and model — never by price, popularity or the verdict itself.
