Review: Mason Definition Chorus – A jack of all trades that's somehow a master of all, and a masterclass in bike design too. cycling MASON_Cycles
The Mason Definition Chorus is a jack of all trades, yet amazingly a master of all. It's the definitive all-round road bike, one that offers great ride quality and geometry that works both at speed or when cruising along – and that's whether you're crossing town, the county, or even the country. The build quality and finish are flawless too.
With all of the advances in aluminium tubing, and seven years of the competition watching and learning, would it still cut the mustard?For my first ride on this Definition, I rolled out of the estate and hit the back lanes, and straight away I was in a happy place.
The head tube is relatively short which helps you get tucked into the drops to lower your centre of gravity, although it isn't so short the saddle to bar drop becomes extreme. From a ride point of view the Mason is just a beautiful place to be. It's such a capable piece of design that it always feels like the right bike for the job regardless of your pace or aims for that particular ride.The ride quality is excellent, but this is where the Definition really shines. I've met Dom Mason countless times over the years and the one thing I've learnt is that he is a stickler for the details. That's highlighted when you get up close to the Definition.
As before this uses a threaded bottom bracket, although the diameter of the shell is larger than most at 56mm. That gives more room to run the gear cables, wires and brake hose under the BB sleeve. It also gives a larger weld area at the down tube for maximum strength and stiffness. The shell is then 'stepped down' to accept the bearing cups of a standard threaded 68mm-wide bottom bracket.
The Aperture2 fork is unique to Mason, and weighs in at 365g. Wheel retention is taken care of by thru-axles, and Mason's F-Stop system allows for the axle inserts to be replaced should the thread ever get damaged.
