For me, the Masters are all-day bikes being stiff at the bottom bracket yet responsive and quite predictable. On a fast downhill ride the frame handles the twists and turns predictably, uphill they are reasonably comfortable with a bottom bracket that does resist sideway movement when out of the saddle a little better than some other well known brands. Time-trialling is comfortable as I find the Colnago geometry to fit my body shape which is an average body shape. The Masters are not exceptional in any one riding area but they are very well sorted for off-the-shelf frames.
