Power up to trail riding’s next level and dominate any and all trail monsters—the Turbo Kenevo Super Light melds the legendary handling and all-around big trail prowess of the Enduro with our Super Light electric support to deliver indomitable capability, light weight, and power to conquer more and bigger trails.

The Turbo Kenevo Super Light puts the “E” in our Enduro, delivering more of what you want from your trail ride—more capability everywhere, more power to climb, more pop when you really need it, more adrenaline. More laps, more jumps, more drops, faster rides with fresher legs.

And it does all this with less. Carrying much less weight than bulkier e-MTBs, the Turbo Kenevo Super Light is hyper-responsive and just as willing and able to redefine big trail performance as our Enduro. Level up your trail game.

We spared no expense with the S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL and tricked it out with the absolute best components available including SRAM’s premier Eagle AXS XX1 drivetrain, feature-packed FOX Factory suspension, and a super-light, super-tough Roval Traverse SL wheelset.

  • The Turbo Kenevo Super Light motor/controller system is a full integration of the bike’s 250-watt motor and 320Wh battery with a radically advanced and seamlessly integrated controller. The result is massive power delivered, up to 20mph/32kph, to get you to the top of your favorite descent with just half of the effort, and much faster, giving even more of the quality ride you yearn for, and more of it than ever before possible.

  • Our next-generation Mastermind TCU is your information hub, with customizable display fields including the exact percentage of battery level, and features our all-new, bar-mounted MicroTune function to adjust power delivery in 10% increments, so you get exactly the support you need to experience precisely the ride you want.

  • 29” wheels front and rear deliver a nimble ride that carves circles around other full-power e-MTBs. A generous cockpit centers you on the bike, optimizing traction and corner control. The low bottom bracket, slack headtube angle and reduced fork offset keep things stable in the rough.

  • The Turbo Kenevo Super Light geometry can be fine-tuned for wherever and however you ride. Six distinct geometry settings allow easy adjustment to hone performance in any terrain. Head angle can be adjusted between 62.5 and 64.5 degrees. Bottom bracket height can be fine-tuned up or down by 7mm. We’ve never made a more adjustable, adaptable trail bike.

  • The Turbo Kenevo Super Light’s 170mm of Enduro-inspired travel is supple on small bumps, devours square-edged hits without a twitch, eats massive G-outs for breakfast, yet still offers amazing pedal response and delivers your power to the ground with total efficiency.

  • The Turbo Kenevo Super Light’s S-Sizing is based on what matters—rider size and style, not inseam. Four sizes, all with similar headtube lengths and standover, allow you to choose the size that best suits your individual style. Smaller S-Size numbers are going to be nimble and more flickable, while bigger S-Sizes deliver more stability and a roomier ride.

Excellent choice for an E Mountain Bike

This is a fun bike to ride; it is super light and handles extremely well on downhill runs. The 250w motor is half the power of a normal electric MTB but is perfect if you are looking for a little support to better gauge your workouts. It is still enough to make grueling climbs easy and fun. The suspension is awesome, supple on small bumps and plush on the larger hits. The wireless electronic shifting works great even while under chain loads. If you are looking for an EMTB that looks and functions a lot like a normal high quality enduro MTB, this is the one.

Top Bike!

Nach dem Kenevo der 1.Gen. war ich fertig mit E-Bikes. Zu träge, zu schwer. Kenevo SL hat mich allerdings eines besseren belehrt. Fühlt sich bergab an wie im DH-Mode und bergab fast wie mit einem XC. Man muss schon gut reintreten, aber der Motorsupport hilft gut und angemessen mit und erlaubt deutlich mehr Trails an einem Tag. ich würde fast sagen - das ist das Bike, was ich immer gesucht habe!

The best e-bike by a long shot, descends like a true enduro bike, amazing on the climbs, range extender is a great idea!

The KSL is AMAZING on the descents - similar to the Spec' Enduro which is at the top of the pyramid for Enduro. Not only is the geometry confidence inspiring, can take on rough terrain and smooth out user errors, but this bike weighs similarly to other enduro bikes - only comes with a motor! The motor isn't "full power e-bike" which will be a concern for those that want to sit and eat hotdogs and smoke while biking. For others that actually want to get their workout while pedaling farther and faster, this bike is perfect. It feels like a regular bike, but for the same time out on a ride I get more workout (this is what people don't get - 2 hrs on this is MORE than 2 hrs on an acoustic). Especially if you don't go turbo mode and just use as much power as you need to keep momentum - I use 15% and 30% modes, and 100% only for the steep climbs that I wouldn't attempt without an e-bike.

Show me a better bike!

This is the 2nd review I am leaving, that’s how good this bike is. This bike has transformed my riding and sent me Up the pecking order in my group of riders. I kept it as a 29er and didn’t bother with a mullet. I’ve also noticed I’m much fitter now than all those in the group that have full fat E bikes. We now have three Kenevo sl s works in our group and none of us can fault these bikes. Apart from the loud motor. I am looking forward though to the new version of this bike with a bigger battery and potentially more assistance from The motor.

Best of ebikes

Light weight enough to pop off the smallest of jumps and enough suspension to launch off the biggest of gnar. I hardly ride my levo SL anymore

This is an incredible e-bike.

This is an incredible e-bike. Especially if you still want/enjoy getting a great workout climbing. The power to weight is perfect for the rider that wants to still enjoy the strenuous aspects of mountain biking with the assurance that you have power when you want/need it. Aside from my personal preferences, the component selection, ergonomics and quality cannot be beat. On the downhills, this is a beast chewing up trail and giving you confidence to push harder.

Possibly the best all-round MTB you can buy

This bike is a masterpiece! Thanks to its lightweight, it's just as nimble and fun on tight, twisty, narrow trails as my StumpJumper Evo but with the small motor, I am not killing myself on steep climbs. It's also incredible on the more gnarly downhill trails and while I don't ride the crazy stuff, I feel super stable and planted on whatever the trail throws at me. It’s low on power by comparison to the big eBikes, but that is what I was looking for. I am 42, pretty fit, and wanted a bike that got me on the trails more often, gives me a great workout, and allows me to cover more ground in less time. To give a comparison - my usual route (23 Miles, 2,990 ft elevation (mostly narrow trails and fire roads) - SJ Evo Time: 2h 49m Avg. Speed: 8.2mph Calories: 1,330 Avg. bpm: 127 Kenevo SL Time: 1h 53m Avg. Speed: 12mph Calories: 1,207 Avg. bpm: 122 Wishlist for future iterations - quieter motor and a little more torque. 45nM would be great!

Best bike in the whole word. BUY IT NOW IF YOU CAN!!!!!!!

If you think this bike is not the best thing ever than you are very wrong. I send it on a 70 foot jump and it felt like butter. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY BUY THE BIKE.
