The Tendon Smart Lite 9.8 mm is a single rope ideal for sports and indoor climbing use. At 9.8 mm, the Tendon Smart Lite is durable enough to take indoors and sport route abuse but not too thick to be unpleasant to handle.

Absolutly fine for intermediate/advanced level sport and easier multi-pitch routes in case you're on a tight budget, or you just don't need stuff like dry treatment. This is my second Tendon Smart Lite 9.8, I was thinking of upgrading, but after reading through the technical details of other ropes, I just couldn't justify spending 50-100 EUR-s more for ropes that just have some slightly better features. I'd rather spend that cash on cams. :)
Great package and fast shipping. The rope is really good!
Had the previous 10mm Smart too. This one is slightly thinner and different color. Not too thick, smooth operation (but not too smooth like some thin coated stuff) and inexpensive. Just be aware that it is uncoated, so heavier in the rain/when wet and easier to get dirty. Just use a rope bag to keep it clean. Did come with 3 stickers on each end of the rope; remove them so the rope doesn't get stuck on the anchors on sports routes.
Bought this rope to cut it in half and use it as a gym rope. Couldn’t go wrong with the price. Currently no issues with the rope.
