UltraMax (UM), red.
69 g→48 g
Measured from the topsheet side with a Shore C durometer: 43.1°
D05: 48g, 50.0°
T05: 47g, 44.6°
R48: 48g, 39.6°
1. Grips the ball as well as or better than R48
2. Pushes and stops don't pop up easily!
3. Speed drives are easy to hit!
This rubber is a medium-hardness rubber with a hard topsheet — something like Tibhar's Evolution EL-S feels very similar. The Rasanter series, being a German-style rubber, tends to feel unstable against underspin drives unless you swing through firmly. This R45 is no exception — I felt that driving against underspin works best with a firm swing. On the other hand, despite being a soft rubber, pushes and stops land really well on the table, which I think comes down to the topsheet's strong grip.

At Max thickness, 53g. Measured with a Shore C hardness gauge, 47.3° (Tenergy 05 is 47g, 44.6°).
1. A bouncy tacky-tension rubber. 2. Paired with a carbon blade, it also works fine on the backhand. 3. Despite how well it bites into the ball, counter-drives land on the table nicely.
The sponge appears to be the latest German-made one, and I think it bites into the ball well for its hardness. It's probably around 55° in hardness, and the sheet's tackiness is very slight — it barely felt sticky at all. If anything, rather than being like a Chinese-made tacky rubber, it's closer to Dignics 09C, and it's an easy rubber to move to from a spin-oriented tension rubber. Also, compared to Dignics 05, the amount of spin you get when you really sink the ball into it still has that tacky-rubber character, but it also has speed performance that's not far behind Dignics 05 — overall a good impression. That said, while the spin performance is high, it doesn't have much in the way of other quirks — like producing unpredictable balls, or the ball extending or sinking after landing on the opponent's side — beyond speed and spin, so I think it's actually quite close to a spin-oriented tension rubber. It depends on what you're looking for in a tacky rubber, but I think it's a solid option besides Dignics 09C.

57g at max thickness.
Shore C hardness (sheet side) 49.9, (sponge side) 49.5. (Dignics 09C: sheet side 50.8, sponge side 49.1.)
Shore A hardness (sheet side) 34.0, (sponge side) 33.0. (Dignics 09C: sheet side 33.4, sponge side 31.8.)
It's supposed to be a strong-tack rubber, but when I touched it, the tackiness felt more like a slight tack to me.
The sponge didn't let the ball sink in well — it was a rock-hard type rubber, similar to the sponge on Hurricane.
As the title suggests, when compared at the same hardness on the German scale to a China Ying rubber, it felt closer to a spin-oriented tension rubber. I think the fact that it bounces despite being a tacky rubber is a characteristic of German-made tacky tension rubbers. Compared to a China Ying, it seemed a bit harder to produce quirky/wobbly balls, but in exchange it felt easier to handle and easier to get the arc you expect.

Black, max thickness.
62g → 43g
Measured from the sheet side with a Shore C hardness gauge: 42.4°
D09C: 50g, 50.8°
Rakza Z EH: 55g, 46.5°
1. It really is a bouncy tacky-tension rubber!
2. It's light!
3. Even though it's light, it has that classic tacky feel and arc!
It was light enough that it was almost worrying. Because it's so light, depending on the blade you use, the ball might end up feeling a bit weak no matter what. If you're a Yasaka user, I think this is the kind of rubber that makes you want to mount it on a 7-ply blade like the Ma Lin Extra Special. It's bouncy and easy to handle, and if your opponent isn't used to facing it, it could work well for you - but I also think it's a rubber that, being an older design, can feel like it's a step behind against today's plastic balls. What I mean is, if the matchup is bad, the ball tends to get so light that opponents can counter everything.

Max (2.3mm), black.
74g → 52g
Measured from the sheet side with a Shore C hardness gauge: 45.5°
Dignics 09C: 50g, 50.8°
DNA Platinum XH: 53g, 46.2°
1. A tacky rubber that sinks the ball in with light effort!
2. A sheet that prioritizes ball-holding and spin more than Rakza Z
3. Easy to sink the ball into and easy to handle, yet it's also easy to produce that "quirky" spin that induces opponent errors!
I think opinions on this rubber vary a lot depending on the user. For example, at Goburinzu it got a somewhat harsh review, apparently because DNA Platinum XH was so good in comparison, while Karahashi Table Tennis rated it highly and recommended it as the definitive tacky rubber for the backhand. Personally I agree with the latter — since it sinks the ball in so well, I think it's perfect for the backhand.
If you're planning to use it on the forehand, I think it'd work better if it were a bit harder to bring out more of that character.
