The KTM 390 Adventure X does without some of the 390 Adventure's more advanced electronic aids, such as traction control and cornering ABS. This has caused riders to debate among themselves whether this stripped-down version is really a better learning tool for those new to adventure riding. Some say it teaches you better skills and instincts knowing how to learn to ride without that electronic help, but others say that gives you those extra skills or safety net that you would not have had otherwise. Talking points of the discussion include discussion on skill development, safety, and transition to more advanced riding techniques. In this question I am trying to understand the advantages and disadvantages of learning on an ‘analog’ bike (the 390 Adventure X) versus a more electronic version.
