I am on Pirelli Scorpion Trail and I ride on loose gravel every weekend or so. I did the mod with ABS ON/OFF switch and I have been using it ever since.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel more comfortable braking using the back brake without ABS. The vibration and aggressiveness of the ABS, makes me feel out of control, on loose gravel. On the other hand, braking linearly and sliding in control, makes me ride with confidence.
