I am 75kg, currently on 350ibs spring. It’s rather soft I’m on the hunt for 375ibs/400ibs spring. I had trouble bottoming out the Fox X2 factory shock at recommend settings.
i recommend using ShockWiz if on air shock.
For future reference, no clearance issue when use EXT storia lok v3 on KSL Sworks S3 frame, however it just missed the frame for 1-2mm when at middle stroke.
Does anyone run EXT Storia Lok V3(not E-Storia) on the Kenevo SL size S3?
I’d like to know if there is a clearance issue when shock is fully compressed, the Peggy back reservoir looked noticeably longer the Fox X2 comes with the Sworks model.
Any info would be appreciated.
I like it personally, the Ohlins in the front has coil in it, made the bike even more plush going through chunky trails. It’s consistent so save me trouble fiddling with air pressures and I know exactly how coil bounces on different trails. A couple of things to be aware of if considering Ohlins...
I’m 5’9, 176cm. Before purchasing my Sworks frame I had hard times to pick between S2 & S3. Size chart puts me on S3, but GEO number says S2 would suit better for my riding style. In the end I went for S3, simply because I couldn’t get S2 from any of my local dealer without huge lead time. It...
Hi mate, looking at the geo number KSL S2 reach is same as Levo SL M 435, but stem on the KSL is 10mm shorter (45 vs 35mm on the KSL S2) this might be why you feel it’s small on the S2. Perhaps try with 50mm stem? would like to hear your experience trying all three bike sizes. :)
Lol sorry for the spelling mistake, and Congratulations on your new purchase!
I ride similar trails to yours. My previous bike is 22 trek slash M/L, with a reach of 469 and a short chainstay. Very capable bike and race-feel, the only thing I wish was a shorter reach, it was a little difficult...
Hey thanks for the info! I’m in New Zealand where currently in mid of COVID lockdown?
After further search and talking to more people, almost land on S3, the 460 reach is a tad too long than what I need but I can get a shorter stem, the longer wheelbase I will just need to get use to or possible...
Thanks for sharing your experience! I agree long travel and the extra weight will be harder to maneuver. Probably one of the reason I want the bike to be a little shorter.
Thinking of purchase the kenevo SL, I would like some guidance from current lucky owners. I’m 176cm(little over5’9) height, ideal RAD/reach is 437 (from joyriders height x2.5 formula;). Although the size chart puts me in a S3, but after chewing the geo numbers, I’m almost landed on S2 but not...
