matrix super box

[TF_snowyflyboy]

Hi any one out there using a matrix super box ? How do you rate them ? How do they compare to the pain space stations ?

I have had one for a couple of months now and really like it.
Only negatives i have is that i had to add two spacer trays to get it to the right height for me.
Also its pretty heavy when full.

Ive got one. Had a rive st36 before and preston xs2 b4 that. All these boxes have to be height adjusted with xtra trays. The xs is the heaviest of the 3.
The only downside with the matrix for me is the seat could be more comfy if it were a gel seat. Other than that its better than preston or rive…..YES RIVE!!!! lol

Cheapest price I have seen for them is £379.00 I seriously doubt there is anything better on the market for that kind of money?

I’ve owned one for the past 6 months, having owned just about every box on the market apart from a rive I can say its probably in my opinion the best of the lot. At a third of the price of a d36 you can’t go wrong. As for the height issue, I’m 6ft and with an extra 25mm tray its perfect for me.
Build quality is very good, as are the accessories for it. Trays etc.
hope this helps.

had one for about 10 months good box , but the footprint was ,a bit big, struggle to get in the car, the footplate also could be a pain to slide in and out when it was dirty, overall tho a good box.

Terrence22,

Where can you get one for £379?

That is the cheapest price I have seen by far.

Thanks.

Many thanks.

Guys at 16 stone I am concerned about one post on another site which suggested probs with the top draw sticking due to the weight of a 13 stone angler on the box.

Is this a common problem?

Thanks.

16 stone 56lbs ….. might be an issue 😉

[TF_wonderwoz]

To be fair mine did stick a little, just sprayed it with ptfe spray, seemed sort it. 😉

Chaps,

Do preston accessories fit this box, if so what colour of inserts will I need?

Ta.

[TF_Smed]

The new Colmic boxes are Solid!! And great value I have just bought the Airon one…very nice and so comfy:) and I’m 16 stone too!

Only issue with the Matrix/Fox boxes are the seats – give it about a year before the covering starts to split had my MSB for two years now and there is now more gaffer tape than plastic, some of my mates are now on their third seat however cant see the point in paying £80 ish for a replacement for the same thing to happen again and again. Thought when they changed and rebranded as Matrix they would have changed them – even emailed Matrix with some constructive feedback however never had the courtesy of a reply – even Preston got it right wit the gel seat.
