Default My 2 cents

I purchased a 2007 KTM 300 a few years back, really my first foray into off road riding in many years (did a bit of mx practice, some supermoto, and some road racing before that).
The bike came with a Rekluse installed and the clutch had been converted to a LHRB. It was the perfect set up to get me into single track, along with hare scrambles and enduro.
My next bike was a 2014 KTM 350 xcf-w I installed the core exp on that bike and loved it. No chance of stalling.
When I purchased my GasGas 300 last June I had every intention of installing a Rekluse. Funny thing...the bike worked so well and the clutch was so easy to use, I never felt disadvantaged.
My opinion as someone who went from beginning single track rider in his late 40's to novice racer and now amateur racer in his early 50's. The Rekluse is a great addition to any bike and an advantage for many. It could be that once a rider aquires the basic skills(and I am still learning them) it probably is not much of a advantage. Although on these modern 4 strokes that are prone to stalling it probably is a big advantage.
