From manufacturer:

Speed	9.0 /
Spin	11.0 /
Control	11.0 /
Tensor $<b>Tensor Rubber</b> - Tensor rubbers have a pre-tensioned rubber topsheet, already pulled tighter so it has some built in catapult effect to increase speed and spin. Normal rubbers don\'t have extra tension.$	No

From community:

Speed	8.7
Spin $<b>Spin</b> is the amount of ball rotation generated by the rubber. This is affected by the rubber\'s tackiness, sponge thickness, sponge hardness as well as the blade\'s flexibility.$	9.2
Control	9.0
Tackiness $<b>Tackiness</b> refers to the level of stickiness of the rubber surface. Traditional Chinese rubbers are usually tacky enough to lift a ball off the table by pressing the rubber on top of the ball, whereas traditional European and Japanese rubbers do not.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Very tacky</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Tacky</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium tacky</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Slightly tacky</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Completely non-tacky</td></tr></table>$	0.7 - Completely non-tacky
Throw Angle $<b>Throw Angle</b> is the angle that the ball is projected from strokes like the loop. Assuming the loop stroke is the same, a high throw angle will lift the ball higher. Tacky rubbers often have a higher throw angle.<br><table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>9+</td><td>Very high</td></tr><tr><td>7 - 9</td><td>High</td></tr><tr><td>5.5 - 7</td><td>Medium-high</td></tr><tr><td>3.5 - 5.5</td><td>Medium</td></tr><tr><td>1.5 - 3.5</td><td>Medium-low</td></tr><tr><td>Under 1.5</td><td>Low</td></tr></table>$	6.3 - Medium-high
Weight	5.3 - Medium-heavy
Sponge Hardness $<b>Sponge Hardness</b> refers to the density of the sponge. This is measured in degrees:<table class=\'smalldata\'><tr class=\'head\'><td>Rating</td><td>Description</td><td>Degrees</td></tr><tr><td>8+</td><td>Hard</td><td>45+ degrees</td></tr><tr><td>6 - 8</td><td>Medium Hard</td><td>43-44 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>4 - 6</td><td>Medium</td><td>41-42 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>2 - 4</td><td>Medium Soft</td><td>38-40 degrees</td></tr><tr><td>Under 2</td><td>Soft</td><td>under 37 degrees</td></tr></table>$	3.8 - Medium-soft
Gears $<b>Gears</b> refers to a rubber\'s ability to produce a wide range of speeds. A rubber with a wide range of speeds (many gears) can produce slow speeds (on gentle strokes) and high speeds (on hard strokes). With few gears, you may always produce fairly slow balls, or always produce fairly fast balls on lighter and harder strokes.$	8.0 - Many gears
Durability	7.8 - Lasts longer than average
Consistency	10.0
Overall	9.2 4.6

Reviews of the Palio Hidden Dragon Biotech

This is review for 39-41 degrees hardness version. This one is more appropriate for FH between two, it won't bottom out. Interesting, the specimen I've got is completely non-tacky, matte finish, looks like oxidated.

What is good about it is control: it's very insensitive to incoming spin. Yet it is capable of putting strong mechanical spin like good euro-jap rubber. This is thanks to biotech sponge which is pretty good for producing mechanical spin when not too hard. This rubber is good for looping, driving, flat-hitting and even decent for serving. And the speed is ok also. So far I don't see major weakness, which is great for cheap rubber.

For people who prefer euro-jap type of rubber and looking for cheap and good one, and wh certainly worth trying.

Congratulations to the Palio!
At last a cheap chinese rubber, which is all together: good throw angle and dwell time, decent attack speed and spin.
Loop is so easy (very low reactivity), great for blocking.
Uncut mass is 60-62g (36-38deg).

I am using 36-38 hardness as an alternative to the Palio CJ8000 Japanese Sponge. It has a much harder top-sheet, but longer pips and small grains on the surface. It can generate a lot of spin, more than CJ8000 36-38, Mark V, Galaxy Sun and is marginally faster than the CJ8000. Lacks a bit on control though. Throw angle like CJ8000, a bit lower than Tenergy 25.

This is better than ugrade version. It is much more precise control (
inimitable) and better spin, but the top speed is slightly lower.

36-38 uncut mass: 68g
HD is very good for speed glue
