I've had this for a year/650 miles. The variable geometry makes this long wheelbase sled into a capable local trail bike. When raked fully out, it positively murders fast downhill gnar. No brakes = no problems. Let her rip. Picked the wrong line on a fast uphill creek crossing? Kenevo SL don't give a f***. Just keep pedaling and you're up and out. This is the absolutely ideal park bike, especially if there's no shuttle service; turning a two-lap day on your analog bike into a 6-lapper (on one charge). The seatpost must be changed for something better that fits into that tiny seat tube. Stock wheels are adequate, but you could easily drop 200g with a better alloy set. Sram GX shifts great.

Ideal para o pedal de até 2h30 (em trilha pesada lógico, um pecado botar essa maquina no plano), bike leve, na descida é identica à spz enduro, com poucos upgrades ela ficou perfeita!

Perfeita

Amazing rides with this bike! The seat post was too high for me, so I immediately swapped to BikeYoke REVIVE 3.0, which has shorter length yet 10mm more travel. This is the sweet spot between proper electric and non-electric bike. Keeps you in shape while still having fun in technical climbs.

Works phenomenally, I ride this bike to and from work every day since i got it and i have had no issues whatsoever.

Overall I enjoy the bike. I test road a bunch of other light e-bikes and full power bikes & with a few upgrades & a lot of tuning on the front fork the bike preforms well as any Enduro bike. Battery life & motor efficiency is better than all the competition, the noise from this SL is louder than any other e-bike. I am 6'4" 240 and ride pretty hard. One issue which I tried to fix was the very short 170 dropper post? Is this 2018 still who made that call? I tried to put a OneUp 210 post on but it was mm to big so could only put on a OneUp 180 post on, very disappointing as I notice the seat on the steep descents at my home Mt. Galbraith in Bellingham. The rear hub failed April 2024 with 4 1/2 months of use. Fanatik bike shop deals with this failure every month, my friend has this exact bike had his rear hub fail last summer. Put on DD casing tires ASAP.

Espectacular, liviana, versátil, una endurera con apoyo en las subidas.

DH !

Vélo absolument génial Un vrai Spé enduro avec un moteur elec c’est fou. Il est léger et est super agréable à rouler. Je regrette pas du tous mon achat venant d’un Enduro

habe nach 10 Jahren Pause wieder zum biken angefangen. Das Bike ist der absolute Hammer! Brutale Qualität, Specialized halt. Ein Garant der Industrie seit Jahrzehnten. Bereue keine Sekunde. Es ist wirklich alles so gut durchdacht, auch Motor und Rad + Software spielen richtig gut zusammen. Jederzeit wieder!

I've been looking at buying an eBike for a while, but wasn't sure I wanted to jump straight to the full eBike as I was worried about the weight and how they would ride on the trails. I was riding a full suspension enduro bike and I'm relatively fit, usually first to the top of most climbs, so I wanted a bike that still felt like an enduro/trail bike but just took the edge off the climbing, as some friends are on full eBikes and I was cooked after 5-6 big climbs. I have to say, the Kenevo SL is perfect for me! I'm now climbing more trails, going further, and feeling good afterwards, but it also descends like nothing I've ridden before. It's agile and just flows over anything you take it down, it feels amazing! So far, my longest ride is just over 20 miles and it still had 45% battery, really impressive. If you're relatively fit and coming straight from a non-eBike bike then I'd highly recommend the Kenevo SL, it's mint! It also look amazing, a real head turner, the design is perfect. I'd highly recommend this bike to anyone.

All round excellent bike. Love it!

Das bike ist richtig geil damit kann man alles machen war damit in bike Park und war richtig geil das fahr verhalten ist mehr und das wichtigste es klappert nichts und auch sehr leicht für ein Ebike alles an den bike ist perfekt außer jetzt für mich die bremsen ich bin mit denn garnicht zu Frieden und deswegen hab ich auf magura mt5 estop gewechselt und jetzt ist es perfekt

This bike is bananas… go get one! I’m coming from an Epic Evo which I still love. I have bad knees and the pain after rides pushed me towards the Ebike. I can now continue my long rides… and this thing is a beast on the downhill + jumps, just point and go! I get a great workout and can adjust the battery assist as needed. You can hear the motor, but you’ll get used to it. So much fun!

Ce bike est juste incroyable, il est léger, le débattement permet de passer absolument partout, il pédale bien même sans assistance, l'intégration moteur et batterie est très aboutie. le montage est cohérent même si il peut paraitre un peu cheap par rapport au prix. il ne faut pas se fier aux chiffres, l'autonomie et la puissance sont largement au niveau de la concurrence dernière génération, idem pour le bruit, c'est sûr c'est plus bruyant qu'un Brose mais c'est du même niveau sonore qu'un EP8. Le TCU Mastermind est vraiment un plus en terme d'ergonomie. Vraiment content de mon achat.

By far the funnest bike I have ever owned. Able to conquer more trails in same amount of time. Really curious how this bad ass machine would handle with a Ohlins Coil Rear Shock and Coil 38 Fork. Battery has just enough juice to make a 15 to 20 mile ride in 1.25 hours. Speed demon on this beast. Love it. Gonna buy another one next year and have TWO!!

Montate un ammo a molla e un paio di magura e andate a tritare tutto

Beautiful bike. Like others, I wish the seat post was longer. I'm 5'6" with stubby legs on an S2 and the top of the main dropper post body is at least 3"-3.5" outside/above the frame collar. Upgrading the post will be first on my list. Mud is coming, so fenders will likely be soon too. I wasn't paying enough attention when buying it, but this model has a Fox 36 and not a 38. I know the 36 is lighter, but I wish they charged the extra 50 bucks and upped the fork on this model. Details on the wheels are minimal ("alloy"). Charging is fast. With winter coming and lights becoming necessary, since this is an E-bike, it would be nice if the website dedicated a section to showing compatible lights with the battery system. My wife's Bosch system has additional wires for hooking a light system up. I will keep digging. Overall I'm excited about my bike and enjoy the lighter package over the full power bikes. I find I'm mostly plowing on the full power bikes where this one I'm biking.

Entspannt rauf, aber doch sportlich... Absolutes HIGHLIGHT beim runter ballern! Sehr schöne Verarbeitung! ABSOLUT EMPFEHLBAR für sportliche Trailjäger, die auch entspannt rauf fahren wollen. Ahja, sehr gut Trail-Park geeignet!

Super blij met de bike, rijd goed vliegt over de parcours, maar minder blij met de mindere componenten. "Volledige" GX groep maar met een NX ketting en XG tandwiel voor 7900€ kan dit wel veel beter. Voorvork had minstens een 38 grip2 type moeten zijn. De dropperpost zou dieper in de kader moeten gaan, ik heb een S5. De motor had wat stiller mogen ziin maar dat is persoonlijke voorkeur. Het lichtere gewicht tov een full elec is heel voelbaar en is heel wendbaar.

Bin damit überall unterwegs…. Keine Grenze!!! Wie für mich gemacht

The best of both worlds! I have a "full gas" e-bike (a Levo comp) and an analog bike, but I wanted something to ride with the super fit young guys (51 years young here) and still feel like I was riding a regular bike. The Kenevo SL did the trick, at 42lbs (I made a lot of upgrades) I commonly forgot I'm riding an eB and not my Enduro on the descents. Once the trail goes back up that little extra power of eco (and trail here and there, not used boost yet) is perfect to be able to keep pace with the strong kids. I'm a big guy and have had some big rides with the boys and still have yet to completely drain the battery without an extender, if you are looking for more trail/turbo modes you will probably want one. Bottom line if you don't mind doing a bit more work and want a bike that rides like the Enduro does, this is your ebike.

Con mis casi 60 años era un fiel opositor a subir a una E-bike . Turbo Kenevo SL me cambio el paradigma del enduro, X2 es un concepto casi perfecto ligera,ágil,versátil. La catalogo como uno de los mejores inventos de MTB.

The bike/suspension itself is VERY good. I love having the flip chip and angle headset to change depending on trails I will be traveling to. However due to the motor raising the low shock design, dropper insertion depth is a MAJOR problem. In the end I think due to the motor, Specialized should have made a Stumpy EVO SL instead. Specialized also dropped the ball with the small rear fender, or they should have also sold a lower rear shock pivot cover, as mud gets tossed into the shock shelf. This is a VERY complicated linkage due to number of parts, and while it works well, this area MUST be kept very clean. I added a front fender to the rear lower chain stay to help with debris accumulation in that area.

Llevo andando esta bici por ya varios meses, formato agresivo, trail e incluso para moverme por la ciudad. No hay nada que le cambiaría, la suspensión es ultra responsiva, los frenos tienen mucha fuerza y la geometría es increíble. Tiene mucho poder para subir y en la bajada solo te pide velocidad. RECOMENDADA!!!

Muchas gracias por tu comentario! por más kilometros juntos...

I am the owner of an Enduro which I absolutely love. I got the itch for an ebike due to the hills around where I ride in Laguna Beach, CA. I picked up a Turbo Levo and had a blast. For sure a lot of fun but I was covering so much ground with such little uphill effort it was absurd. It helped my riding where I was hitting a lot of trails but it made a large area small if that makes sense. When they came out with the KSL I was amped. Take the best of both worlds and mesh them... booom. I got rid of the Levo and now what I would say is the perfect bike. I am an active guy in his 40's that still wants to feel like I am biking. I have no problem pedaling uphills, but this gives me a little bit of help so I'm not torched after a 1.5 hr ride. Yet the bike is light enough to throw around and it handles any rough terrain thrown at it. Also super fun on jumps. The only thing I would change is a tad bit more torque but my legs can make up that difference. Stoked.

Leichtes Gut verteiltes Gewicht, schwacher Motor der genügend Leistung hat und trotzdem noch die Fitness fördert. Der Federweg ist SEHR ausreichend und trotzdem noch Tourentauglich. Ein wirklich gelungenes Bike für die Zielgruppe Die etwas tun will und trotzdem auch mal den all day ridern hinterher kommen will.

I have been riding a full power eMTB for 2 years and this bike is the best of both eMTBs and classic MTBs. It feels significantly more agile than a full power EMTB due to the lighter weight while still having enough weight down low to descend and jump more confidently than a classic MTB. The assistance is enough if you are reasonably fit. That’s very much ok with me. I now can ride with classic bikes by putting the assistance on 10-30% and it does not feel like a heavy ebike. I can also ride with full power eMTBs on 100% assistance if your group can ride on trail mode. The range has been on par to my full power EMTB. Lastly the suspension design feels like magic. It absorb the chunkiest trails in Southern California. My back wheels seems to hang up less over rocks and while jumping it feels like landing on a pillow. I could definitely feel the additional weight of my full power eMTB while landing a jump. Not so with the Kenevo SL. Amazing bike. The perfect bike for me.

Mind blowing experience, an e bike that rides like a nimble, poppy, agile, super fun trail bike with enduro suspension and 29er! OMG! All in one bike! Does it all bike! Worth every penny! Go And Buy One! You'll see!
