Equipped with electronic aids such as ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, and cornering ABS, the KTM 390 Adventure can do the same. Although praised in general for their impact on road safety and on road performance, these features are frequently questioned in the area of off-road use. The added safety net is appreciated by some riders, especially for riders new to off-road riding, but those in favor of doing without the electronics claim that they can create interference for the precise control required in technical off-road situations. The conversation often expands to the complexity that such systems bring to the bike and how, as a result, trailside repairs may become more difficult. Another element that pops up in these debates is the contrast between the 390 Adventure's high-tech approach and the more traditional and simple designs of some of its competitors (read some of the smaller ADV segment) in terms of design.
