The World's Fastest Adventure Hardtail
In 2025, endurance athlete Angus Young claimed the fastest known time for the Eastern Divide Trail – the longest mountain bike trail on the planet.
In just 39 days, 10 hours and 22 minutes, he travelled 10,000km, from Cape Spear in Newfoundland to Key West in Florida. On the way, Angus traversed the Appalachian mountains. He encountered extreme weather, and even more extreme terrain and riding conditions, pushing himself and his equipment harder than ever before.
His adventure was record-breaking. His bicycle was the MASON Macro.
RIDEDRIVENDESIGN
The MASON Macro combines the capability to carry bikepacking gear across variable off-road terrain with the imperative to keep moving at racing speed. Build a lightweight, flat bar, fully rigid bikepacking machine or combine the Macro with a suspension fork to enhance comfort, control and momentum on extended, fast, multi-terrain adventures with more challenging trail conditions.
The Macro is highly configurable, conceived around bikepacking loads, accessory attachment and fluid-carrying capacity from the outset. It is much more than simply a flat-bar gravel bike – designed for customisation, allowing the rider to fine tune a configuration that matches their requirements and planned adventures.
