2022 Comp S4 (5'11") finally in my garage! Have had it out a couple times now at Mohican in Ohio USA and its a total beast. No regrets on the blind order, or my decision to switch my original order from the Expert to the Comp when the delivery date kept getting pushed on the Expert. Switch out the rear rotor for a 220mm, tubeless with rear cushcore, Sensa grips, Amygos bash guard, DMR Vaults, big battery upgrade, and drivetrain upgrade to Eagle 12spd. Still had money to spare vs what the Expert would have cost.

Anyone know if the domain lowers are the same as zebs ?

I wonder why they went with mullet for the Levo but not the Kenevo? maybe waiting for the next Gen?

Maybe they're waiting to see how the mullet trend pans out before committing to it on the Kenevo. Or maybe they just think the Kenevo is too burly for a mullet setup. Who knows!
 
Id be interested to hear if anyone has had their expert delivered. Mine delayed another month to mid may
 
Here’s my bad boy mini DH 2022 S3 Kenevo! Rode it bone stock for about 2 rides and then swapped all my good stuff over to the Kenevo
Mullet
Manitou Dorado
Fox Float X2 local tuned, 65mm stroked
AXS dropper, derailleur and shifter
Maxxis DHR27.5 x 2.8 rear / Assegia 29x2.6
Love this bike, great climber and rolls over just about anything!

I have been waiting since September, for a 2022 model expert. It's been worth the wait. Hope you get yours soon 😉

No the Z1 is a basic but good fork and not one that should come on a £5800 bike !
Fox/rs 38’s are great forks !

Surely it's no more basic than a performance level 38, which I think has the same damper. In fact a Z1 is quite a bit more expensive than a Zeb Select.
 
Anyone else finding the rear brake disc is contacting the frame often? When stationary the clearance seems to be 2-3 mm which is very low. I can see it rubbing paint where it’s contacting
 
Hey Guys, i have my 2022 Kenevo Comp ready for pick up. A lot of talk about the brakes not being great. Is it worth gettign them upgraded before pick up? Has anyone done a brake upgrade?

To each their own but in my expert (same brakes) the brakes are perfectly fine and I’m 6.4 118kg. Why not ride it then decide?

Hi. How did you go with the mullet set up in the comp? Does it handle ok or to burley? Im
Keen to do but think it may mess with the geometry to much .

Loving it , it feels like it should’ve been mulleted as standard . I lowered the fork to 170mm so the geo isn’t much different ( some don’t bother ) and it rides amazing , rolls much faster on rougher tracks and doesn’t climb any diff . Looks better aswell .
Thinking of going full 29 soon !
