with a very high aspect ratio<br />
C-shape that helps create the<br />
perfect de-power rope length.<br />
In fact, the whole power range<br />
of the kite is within 15-20 cms<br />
from the chicken loop, enabling<br />
you to have the perfect power<br />
control without the need of moving<br />
your arms forward. In order<br />
for us to suit specific freestylers<br />
preferences, we added<br />
two adjustment options to the<br />
leading edge so it is possible to<br />
adjust the bar pressure.<br />
Furthermore, when using the<br />
kite fully powered up, you can<br />
easily un-hook and get a very<br />
neutral feel when keeping the<br />
kite in the same spot. The super<br />
squared tip design helps increasing<br />
the turning speed when<br />
needed which creates a very<br />
precise, predictable behavior in<br />
the air. You always know where<br />
the kite is without the need of<br />
high bar pressure.<br />
To finish, each shape of the canopy<br />
has been revised and the<br />
outer struts were moved closer<br />
to the wingtips to improve turning<br />
speed. It is important that<br />
the kites canopy has the correct<br />
amount of tension and the outer<br />
struts support the wingtip<br />
while the sail is subjected to heavy<br />
loads. This kite is capable of<br />
stellar loops and huge pop for<br />
extreme maneuvers performed<br />
while fully powered.<br />
The new short Obsession Pro<br />
V7 bar is 7 cms shorter than our<br />
standard Global bar and is now<br />
48 cms in total width. It comes<br />
equipped with 22 mts flying lines<br />
only.<br />
This is the kite for your serious<br />
freestyle sessions!
