RIDEDRIVENDESIGN
The Resolution reimagines the possibilities of steel, offering a smooth ride on rough terrain while still delivering a powerful kick upon acceleration.
Originally launched in 2014, the Resolution was one of the first models in the MASON lineup. Its Columbus steel modern Allroad frameset has stood the test of time, with geometry and ride quality that were ahead of their era. This has cemented its reputation as a contemporary classic, winning awards such as “Best Road Bike Buy of 2021.”
The Resolution offers supreme comfort over long distances, with room for large-volume 35mm tyres and 32mm with full fenders, internal routing for brake hoses and dynamo wires, and the benefits of MASON F-Stop replaceable axle inserts. It includes proper fender mounts and a crown mount for dynamo lights. The 2024 model also boasts new paint colours and modernised graphics.
Our journey with various frame-building materials led us to develop a performance steel frame when Columbus introduced their exceptional 'Spirit' and 'Life' tube sets. Combining these advanced tubes with modern components and progressive geometry has resulted in something truly special. While our Definition model utilises the unique qualities of aluminium, Resolution3 highlights the many benefits of steel. Steel is renowned for its performance in bike frames, offering a lively ride feel and excellent fatigue resistance, ensuring longevity over several lifetimes with proper corrosion protection. It's this special quality of Steel that makes the Resolution a true companion for life.
The Columbus ‘Niobium Doped’ alloy used in the Spirit and Life tubing makes this material particularly exciting for a lightweight, performance bike. Its fine-grained, micro-alloyed steel allows wall dimensions as thin as 0.4mm, providing low weight, high fatigue resistance, and excellent welding qualities.
The Resolution3 is a timeless classic, combining traditional craftsmanship with a modern, contemporary ride feel that will stand the test of time.
