Mason Cycles describes the new Aspect as super-smooth fast ultra-distance rocket. Ive got a Bokeh so Im slightly biased but its the best bike Ive owned. Id love a Mason Bokeh but I cant face stumping up the money for a new frame and theyre pretty rare second hand as youd expect.

Mason Bokeh Force review. Mason Bokeh Rival 1x review Out front the Mason Bokeh with its 650b wheels was the most capable off-road though the bigger tyres might slow it down a bit on the tarmac. In addition to the Bokeh Force 1X 650b model which is the most expensive Mason cycle in the Bokeh Collection there are a few other models available as well.

We have started from the ground up with the Bokeh geometry the clearance is increased to take up to 650b x 50mm or 700c x 45mm I think anything larger is MTB territory. The SRAM Rival 1x Hydro build is priced at 3195. The development of 1x drivetrains and lightweight performance multi-terrain 650b tyres and fast large volume multi-terrain tyres for 700c has really helped fuel bike development.

It also looks like frame sets will be available for 1495 and rolling chassis starting at 2000. The Bokeh handled this stuff incredibly well it was amazing fun but it got us thinking again and after a long distance call from Josh he was actually in his bivvy bag way out in the desert I started sketching. Cable routing is only for 1x drivetrain though.

When Mason debuted the 650b Bokeh back in 2016 it was billed more as an adventure road bike than a gravel bike per se. We put a great deal of thought into the mix of parts used for each bicycle build so bars stem and crankset are pre-set to match frame size along with the remaining build kit. Its a beautiful bike.

You can have all Masons bikes with 1X gearing and the set-up Mason has chosen here is as versatiled as it getsThe wide-range SRAM 10-42 cassette paired to the 42-tooth chainring up front will get you up and down most climbs and descents without unduly running out of ratios. Mason offer the Bokeh in four builds and this flagship model comes with a SRAM Force 1x drivetrain that has equal prowess on the road as it does off it. Mason offer the choice of either 700c or 650b wheel sizes the 650b wheel option on our test bike fitted with 50mm Panaracer Comet Hardpack tyres is the one to pick if you want to head off.
