My view is that RRD are following the same trend as North with the Rebel. From my perspective a sensible move, but perhaps not from yours.

That's what I wanted to know, an opinion. Mostly because I am considering buying an obsession.

Re: RRD ditches obsession / obsession pro - now just one kite
I really like the way my Vegas steer, 5th line doesnt bother me at all. I feel like it is way more responsive than 4 line kites. I think sometimes is rider preference and not market driven. Keep it low!
