Macro ERA
Macro ERA is Palio's German-produced tensor rubber with a grippy, non-tacky topsheet. Two printed sponge hardnesses are documented, 42.5° and 47.5°, and they are stored as hardness variants of one canonical product rather than as separate rubbers. The printed degree is a manufacturer value on the producer's own scale and is not treated as equivalent to any other brand's degree.

Specifications and evidence
Approval evidence and market availability are recorded separately. A name listed by an approval source is not proof that the rubber is currently on sale, and a rubber on sale is not proof of a current approval. Approval is never inherited by a suffix or edition, and no expiry date is invented.
Market status describes current commercial availability only. Where it could not be verified it stays unknown rather than being guessed from a shop listing.
Printed hardness values and ranges are manufacturer figures on Palio's own regional or printed scale. A printed 54° is not assumed to equal a DHS or ESN 54°, and ranges such as 36–38 are kept verbatim.
No reliable official Palio list price is published per region, so no price is shown rather than an invented one.

Variants and configurations
2 variantsColour, thickness and configuration are variants of one model — never separate products. Colour never changes a rating, MAX and OX stay qualitative labels, and OX carries no sponge hardness.
