The Obsession PRO MK3 is our
new pure blooded PRO freestyle
kite. An evolution of the previous
version, the new Obsession
Pro MK3 has been refined
and was developed with precise
input of the freestyle pro team.
No compromises were made
on the shape and characteristics
that distinguish this true
freestyle machine. The Obsession
Pro is a pure, fine tuned,
5-Line C-shaped kite, designed
to be precise, powerful, or very
neutral when needed. We did
not leave anything to chance
and put the entire structure
of the kite under intense scrutiny.
Each individual kite size
in the range, from 7m to 15m,
has a unique diameter leading
edge that allows for the correct
speed of rotation. The leading
edge is progressively increased
in diameter towards the smaller
sizes to ensure that the speed
and handling of each kite in the
range feels the same. This is essential
for a perfect execution of
all the most radical maneuvers.
The outside struts were also
moved towards the wingtips to
increase the turning potential
during kiteloops and add to the
stability of the new Obsession
Pro MK3.
Now that freestyle has reached
incredible levels of performance,
a kite that not only delivers
on/off feedback from the
bar, but is also incredibly stable,
is necessary. Very thin shaped
struts and a thin leading edge
diameter not only increased
stability but have also saved
weight when comparing to the
previous versions.
