Originally developed as a revolutionary performance tubeset, MAX is still chosen today by framebuilders looking for a custom steel frame with a strong technical identity, unmistakable tube shapes and a very specific ride character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Italy from Columbus’ proprietary high-performance \u003cstrong\u003eOMNICROM Cromoly steel alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e, MAX uses triple-butted, cold-drawn seamless tubes with patented non-round profiles. Its elliptical and oriented oversized sections are shaped according to the stress directions found in different areas of the frame, helping builders create frames with high stiffness, efficient power transfer and a bold visual presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAX sits in a very special place within the Columbus range. It carries a strong classic heritage, but it does not behave like a conventional traditional tubeset. Its oversized and oriented profiles make it still remarkably relevant for modern custom geometries, especially when the goal is to build a steel frame that feels solid, direct and highly responsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this reason, Columbus MAX is particularly well suited to TIG welded or fillet brazed construction. Lugged MAX frames are part of framebuilding history, but compatible lugs are rare and highly specific, so this tubeset is usually selected today by builders who want the freedom to work around its distinctive shapes without being limited by traditional lug standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Cicli Corsa, we see MAX as one of the most iconic choices for framebuilders who want something more characterful than a conventional round-tube frame. This pre-configured MAX 7 tubes set follows the standard Columbus selection for the MAX series, preserving the specific logic, balance and identity of this unique tubeset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAX can be paired with suitable \u003cu\u003ehead tubes\u003c\/u\u003e, \u003cu\u003eColumbus carbon forks\u003c\/u\u003e, high-quality bottom bracket \u003cu\u003eshells\u003c\/u\u003e, braze-on \u003cu\u003ebosses\u003c\/u\u003e and CNC-machined \u003cu\u003edropouts\u003c\/u\u003e, depending on the geometry, brake standard and finishing direction of the build.
