Kenevo Gen1 2022 Kenevo comp & expert

[joshhoward23]

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 !

Thanks. how would it be if you left it at 180mm travel? still handle the same?

Would raise the front , be good on step DH runs I think ☺

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!

Hey are you still running your dorado on your Kenevo? I’ve been looking at the dorado for my Kenevo and was wondering if you think it’s worth it over the boxxer it comes with? Thanks!

loved the Dorado! Awesome, unique looking fork that kills the DH. Once you get use to climbing and switch backs, easy to turn as well. You literally feel like you can smash through anything in your path. Are you going with a new Dorado?

I went a different direction with my a Kenevo since then, but still have the Dorado, in case I change my mind. I wanted to lighten my Kenevo up and chose Fox 38 @ 180mm with Avalanche racing hybrid coil kit. Unfortunately my motor blew up before I could try out the Fox 38. Hope to get my bike back this weekend.

Was your Kenevo noticeably heavier with the dorado on? I am looking at getting one for me Kenevo during the off season of the bike park and then swapping it onto my transition spire during bike park season

Actually, only when stopped and needing to pick up the bike. While riding, can’t feel the weight difference. I changed at the same time: carbon wheels, and took out the Cush cores. At most about 2lbs lighter.

Hey guys, looks like Specialized is going back on coil shock for expert model 2023

Can you post the link to this please

 

[Mcharza]

I think it's because some models of RS SDU coil shock has a steel shaft

It’s on Slovak online shop. They have listed both colours. But I think that the listed specification is wrong as they have listed fox fork.

I just ordered a 2022 Kenevo Expert and plan on transferring over the same parts you have from my other bike. What offset is your dorado? Did you get the 27.5 crown? My current rear Fox shock is 230 x 65, is that what you are running and no clearance issues? Your bike looks awesome !!
