yes, I'd say '13 is medium-light and '14,'15 medium-heavy - although bar pressure is pretty subjective

Has anyone tested 16&17 years obsessions?
15 was real step back with its high bar pressure and clumpsy turning speed. Got it any better later in 2016?
Is there big difference in 13&14 years? Till now 13 year is my favourite.

hey dzincha, i have the mk9. IMO in this model theres not a lot of bar pressure, coming from the TS its the same or even lighter, similar to the park hd.
The turning speed is reaaaally good, moves very "free" in the air and it was something at first that i had to get used to. The boosting is really good (just as my previous parks) and the loop is fast and not so powerfull, perfect for learning powered.

thats a good question, i think they are around the same for my style of riding. My All time high i think it was with the mk9 because i could send it faster, but the park had better hang time.

Any feedback about 2016 obsession?
Bar pressure lighter than 2015?
Reviews says it is very lively. Is it so?
