Riding modes, traction control, cornering ABS, and, on the R model, rally mode with adjustable throttle response and traction control intervention are all part of the sophisticated electronics package on the KTM 890 Adventure. These features promise to improve safety and performance, but some riders contend that they are adding too much complexity into the riding experience. Do the different modes and configurations actually make sense in practice, or do they obscure the core of riding itself? Do the electronics cause the riders to push their limits with confidence in the electronics, or do they give a false sense of security?
