I've seen rubbers like H3, Rxton 5, Jupiter 3 in 41 degree hardness. But I've never seen any commercial rubbers harder than that.

Are there any rubbers out there even harder?
Donic Bluegrip C1 is 60 deg in ESN scale, that should be the hardest on paper.

Yes, the paper tiger... When measured with Type O durometer, the BGC1 is like 55-56. The NH3PTB is 60, that is like approx. 43. But it's heavy, 15g cut heavier than H3 BS H41 - so be warned. The quality is supreme though.
