Malcom Mason 

Owner, M-R Performance

Malcom Mason, founder of M-R Performance, has been proudly serving the dirt bike community since 2021. His journey began long before that—working for a highly respected suspension center known throughout the motocross industry. While attending the Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National Championship, Malcom received tragic news: the owner of the shop he worked for had suddenly passed away. Committed to supporting the Midwest moto scene and not letting customers down, he stepped up, took over the operations of Hetzel Racing, and launched M-R Performance.

With a lifelong passion for two wheels, Malcom began racing motocross at just three years old. Over the years, he competed in nearly every discipline imaginable—Motocross, Arenacross, Enduro, and Hare Scrambles—gaining hands-on experience that now fuels his expertise in suspension tuning. His deep understanding of racing, combined with a sharp eye for detail, allows him to tailor suspension setups specifically to each rider’s skill level, terrain, and goals.

At M-R Performance, Malcom’s top priority is customer satisfaction. Every fork, shock, and component is handled with precision, and nothing leaves the shop unless it meets his exacting standards. His dedication and craftsmanship have earned M-R Performance a growing reputation for quality, reliability, and rider-focused service.

Strategic Service Centers offer comprehensive suspension training covering all types of off-road suspension. Each center is equipped to handle everything from standard rebuilds to complete revalving based on the rider’s weight, skill level, and riding style. All suspension settings are developed and provided by our main office to ensure consistency and performance. When custom settings are required, our team works directly with experienced tuners to develop tailored specifications that meet the unique needs of each customer.
