Most people miss how different the bike can be with the traction control turned off.
Well, I just did Engineer, Cinnamon and Ophir, all with my traction control fully engaged and ABS on (I added an Off switch). It won’t allow cool wheel spin, but man does it make this bike a controllable tool for steep, loose hairpin turns or rocky ascents. And the ABS was never too intrusive.
And how the bike chugs uphill, idling in first, is amazing.
Again, it won’t make you look like Chris Birch, but I have seen too many videos of amateurs spinning out of control in those situations and crashing.
So know your limits, and then you may appreciate the electronics.
I must say I have been newly impressed by the bike’s off road capabilities after 4 years of owning it.

Greatness!! Bet they're glad that they have fuel injection. I wonder what the horsepower is down to at the altitude.
