  • Columbus MAX crown overview:

    Genuine MAX, lugged (often with panto, 0° rake):

    Genuine MAX, smooth (usually 0° rake, I guess any visually straight-bladed forks built with this crown are actually curved blades which are curved just very slightly):

    Long Shen (Taiwan) MAX, lugged (usually with 7° rake, also available as wide CX version):

    Long Shen (Taiwan) MAX, smooth (usually with 7° rake):

    Samson (Japan) MAX, smooth (0° rake, with ring that (I guess) can be smoothed if desired):

    Venom MAX, smooth (not sure where this comes from, just saw it once here on the forum):

    Custom made MAX:

    Columbus AIR (similar to Genuine MAX smooth, but other blades and different teardrop design)

  • The Merckx MAX fork crown was actually NOT the original MAX-- and not even the original as used by Merckx in his MAX frames (to be distinguished from the MX-Leader/MXL frames that followed)
