Technical Specification:

UIAA Falls: 9-10
Weight per meter: 67g
Proportion of Sheath: 36%
Dynamic Elongation: 31%
Sheath Slippage: 0mm
Impact force: 8.7kN
Water Absorption: 1%

not sure if this means it increases by 1% though. Any ideas?

I would say so, from the comp text:

Water Repellancy: the Coated Core and Coated Sheath Technologies gives DRY ropes lasting water and dirt repellancy. DRY ropes only increased in weight by 1% during UIAA water absorption tests.
