From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Mammut Tusk SuperDry finishing processes (superDRY™ and duraFLEX™) give the rope durability and comfortable handling. Thanks to this and the relatively small diameter of 9,8 mm, the Tusk has a very wide range of uses.

From EMS:
"Rope finishing processes (superDRY and duraFLEX) give the Mammut Tusk durability and comfortable handling. Relatively small diameter of 9,8 mm gives the Tusk a very wide range of uses. Dry treatment helps keep rope from freezing stiff when ice climbing. Core with 11 inlays. Suitable for classic alpinism and gym climbing. Best suited for sport climbing. Elongation at 1st drop: 30%."
From Backcountry.com:
"The Mammut Tusk Climbing 9.8mm Rope rides the line between low weight and durability. You could take this rope trad climbing, use it to redpoint a sport route, or get out on the ice without stressing over anything. Mammut added a SuperDry treatment to ensure you don't have to pull a water-logged cord up a dripping ice route, and you can choose between 60 or 70-meter lengths to get you up and down whatever you have on the schedule."
From REI:
"Part of the all-around Balance Line, the Mammut Tusk SuperDry™ rope melds high strength, minimal weight, comfortable handling and long life expectancy. Lightweight 9.8mm diameter is optimized for sport climbing; however, the Tusk is also suitable for alpine climbing and top-roping at the gym. SuperDry™ sheath and core treatment discourages water absorption while resisting dirt and abrasion. DuraFlex™ heat-treatment process on the finished rope helps maintain smooth handling characteristics over time. Kernmantle design combines durable braided sheath and shock-absorbing core for protection from fall forces. 60m length allows long leads and rappels. Middle of the rope is marked with a black bar to facilitate rappels. Meets UIAA tests for falls, impact force and elongation."
