From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Sterling Rope Velocity 70 Meter Dry Rope (Fall 2008) The Velocity by Sterling Rope uses a space-age sheath and jet propulsion core! Streamline, sleek, even if you are getting pumped and slowing down, this rope will keep you moving toward the chains. Aerodynamic properties provide everything you want in this 9.8mm skinny rope. Cruising around the local crag, racing up today's modern test pieces, or enduring multi-day alpine slogs, the Velocity will never slow you down. Rumor has it that you may, in fact, even experience an extra boost at the end of a 70M pitch.

From RockCreek:
"The 9.8mm Evolution Velocity Bi-Color Rope (DRY) by Sterling is the perfect compliment to your multi-pitch, mountaineering or just sport climbing adventure. With two different designs that represent both sides of the rope, you can easily find the center, even in low light, which is helpful on rappels when descending close to dark. This is a great attribute when considering, that studies done by Sterling, shows that marking the center of your rope with a felt tipped marker or other commercial ink can decrease up to 50% of the rope strength - or the energy absorption capacity of your rope. The Biathlon Pro Dry Rope also is made with their proprietary DryCore technology, that will help maintain the original strength and elongation of your rope in wet or icy conditions. All of Sterling's ropes are treated with DryCore but dry treated ropes then go through a process to treat the sheath and in turn also treats the core again. According to Kurt Smith, Sterling's rep, "This is a pain staking process - we double dip the rope and do the treatment twice to really get it to bond to the nylon.."The Velocity 9.8 is lightweight, incredibly durable and easy to handle. Its silky smooth sheath repells abrasion and slides effortlessly to reduce rope drag. All in all this is an amazing rope that offers so many advantages, it might even give you that extra boost to the top."

What makes Sterlings BiColor ropes unique and a leader in industry is the dramatic color change in the middle. Finding the center is easy, quick and accurate, even in low light situations. These ropes have the same construction and award winning performance as their single color namesakes."
