Matchup Notes
Acoustic & Tactile Feel
HMX Rain utilizes a cushioned 4.0mm rail landing with subtle textured mechanical scratch to soften bottom-out shock, contrasting HMX Grey's loud, high-frequency acoustic presence and stiff bottom-out impact.
The Verdict
Pick HMX Rain if you want a cushioned 4.0mm rail bottom-out with authentic textured scratch. Pick HMX Grey if you want maximum high-pitched clack volume and sharp center-pole impact.
