I have a 2012 with ABS. BTW, You only get linked brakes with ABS.
I love it. I specifically got a 2012 with ABS because I knew I would be towing a Time Out camper trailer with the bike.

I don't know of the k-act, but it has to be an improvement. The bike I have now has partial integral ABS, front brake is all brakes, rear is just rear. I've had to use it in earnest and it saved my ass a couple times. If I had been on my old Nomad, bad things would have happened. I wouldn't buy a bike without it. Some newer bikes have dynamic ABS which takes leaning and other conditions into consideration when braking.

I agree that the 2019 colors look really nice. Having never had the desire to do burnouts or other things that require only front or rear braking I think the K-ACT is great. I would certainly never own a bike this heavy that did not have some manner of ABS.
