From Backcountry.com:
"The Black Diamond nForce Ascender uses a unique four-bar pivot system that places your entire body weight on the cam for excellent grip, even on muddy and icy ropes. The result is 33% better grip than a standard ascender. This same system also reduces cam pressure when you slide the ascender up the rope, which makes the nForce Ascender efficient for jugging long pitches. Because it fits ropes from 8 to 13mm in diameter, this Black Diamond ascender provides a solid choice for everything from big wall climbing to expedition routes on big mountains."

From REI:
"With a greater clamping force than conventional ascenders, the Black Diamond nForce ascender offers maximum grip on icy or muddy ropes. Anodized aluminum construction is lightweight, durable and corrosion resistant. Four-bar linkage drives body weight into the rope resulting in nearly a third greater clamping force than standard ascending devices. Flared rope slot fits a wide range of rope diameters, from 8-13mm; stainless-steel cam design can be installed and removed easily mid-rope. Spring-loaded stainless-steel cam opens wide for rope insertion; thumb-controlled lever offers one-thumb operation during ascension. Locking mechanism locks cam in either the open or closed position; engages and disengages with index finger via the cam trigger. Includes upper and lower carabiner clip-in points; thumb bump at top assists when descending short distances. Available in left- and right-handed versions, color-coded for easy recognition. Ergonomic polyethylene-coated grip provides a sure hold, even with heavy gloves; keeps hands from freezing and sticking in cold weather. Can also be used for self-belay or hauling gear."
