is indeed a newer version of Max with different metallurgy.
Digging this up as it interests me. I've got a new Rychtarski max frame and have been trying to understand what's new about the reintroduced max tubes? Hampsten or whatever they're called say it's niobium alloy which is apparently superior to whatever the old max was made of. The wall thicknesses are the same as old max tubes. Anyone know anything about this?
just found this:
