The distinct features of KTM bikes are their various riding modes. The motorcycle gets four different rider modes, including Rain, Street, Sport, and Track. These alter the engine’s throttle response, ABS support, traction control, and wheelie control. These features provide the rider several options for a better riding experience. Here, the rain mode is the safest as it tones down the power for a smoother throttle response whereas the track mode is only advised for race tracks as it activates the throttle sensitivity.
