Starting from the already excellent basis for the previous model Maxima, which remains in regular production, the Tuscan company has an extreme the concept of customizing the frame by extending the stratification of individual carbon tubes even the posterity wagon. Already in the Maxima model the three main tubes of the triangle were made according to customer requirements and its physical conformation, with the thicker tubes heavy or powerful for athletes, and tubes for most purposes more slender body types or frames suitable for boarding. This concept has been expanded in the new version Maxima RS. Now the carbon main triangle tubes (horizontal, vertical and oblique tube) can be high modulus 3K carbon for athletes with a high power to weight ratio or carbon 6K frame measuring large and heavier athletes. To do that the pipes are handmade in Italy, as well as the entire production process, which leads to one of the few bikes that can boast of being made entirely of 100% in Italy. The geometries of the frame are only custom, as to measure. In this particular version, then the head tube houses new bearings plus 1 inch in diameter and 1/2 below and 1 inch and 1/8 above. Although the range has been developed and is now adopted the new Deda RS, which provides greater rigidity and improved aerodynamics, while in front of a small weight increase over the previous Deda Black Drive (320 grams against 340 grams, according to a statement by Deda). The tube then can be customized for the adoption of the new Group Shimano Di2, while the seatpost can be either integrated or not. Even the new bottom bracket, which keeps the possibility of adopting the standard BB30, more rigid and with a new compass ergal that supports the crank caps. This is not perfectly round on the outside, what is then bonded to carbon, which prevents, in case of brakes, the compass does not rotate on itself, ruining the frame itself. A solution curious, no doubt effective, simple and ingenious, but adopted by a company that let alone have reliability problems on his carbon frames it, much less broken bottom bracket problems. The solution adopted, however, does not affect the weight of the bike in a negative way and can be seen as a further element of quality and longevity, which involve the Maxima RS. The extreme personalization of RS Maxima went even to the creation of a new wagon posterity in which the tubes can be customized on request. Viner has already led to two different types of wagon, one, called the RS, cycling light, another, called FGM, for heavier or cyclists who develop high power, as this second version has a higher torsional rigidity than the RS version. Also new are the dropouts, ergal worked with CNC machines, which are structurally incorporated in the rear triangle with carbon bandaged hand. Just realized the new Maxima RS is 20% stiffer than the Maxima and reaches a weight of about 930 grams in size smaller and without paint, and the customization of this frame, as will be the model Maxima, however, to have for every port frame weight difference even for the same size, it depends on the type of coal used, its stratification and the choices decided by the customer when ordering. The bike can then be completed with groups Shimano, Campagnolo, and Sram Miche; components Deda, saddle Selle Italia, Fulcrum wheels, Miche, etc.. The price of the kit frame is 3233 Euro for the model with standard seatpost and 3366 Euro for the model with integrated seatpost. The price is certainly not content, in absolute terms, but it is a truly unique and custom bike, the hand-crafted all-Italian and lead to high price, but true competitors to the higher range that still can not boast this degree of customization then the price is undoubtedly correct and proportionate to the quality of the medium. We have already tested the model Maxima, and if its evolution RS keep the promises we are faced with one of the best new bike in the 2010 Made in Italy. The weight of the frame appears to be competitive. The only real drawback of this special is that Maxima is little understood by cyclists, who stop at the brand and price, not going to fund the technical characteristics and peculiarities of the models. Often other products are preferred, even more expensive, which can not boast the personalization and exclusivity technique of Maxima RS.
