Summary

The Mason Resolution is celebrated for its modern steel ride quality, blending classic aesthetics with contemporary performance. It excels in handling and versatility, offering clearance for up to 35mm tires, making it a standout in the endurance category. However, its weight and firm ride quality, especially on rough surfaces, are noted drawbacks.

Pros
  • Quintessentially modern steel ride quality

  • Brilliant handling

  • Very good tire clearance

  • Classic good looks

  • Attention to detail in construction

Cons
  • Substantially heavier than non-ferrous competitors

  • Firm ride quality, especially in the front end

  • Limited variety of convertible ports for internal routing
