Dang that’s going to be pricey. Looks good though. That angle looks like a beefier downtube than the standard SL. Perhaps slightly larger battery? Or maybe just the perspective
 
Had the opportunity to ride the new Kenevo yesterday. Longlowslack in S4. A bit heavy for my liking and the „SL“ idea. Seemed less noisy going up. Are there more Nm in the SL1.1? Not sure. I‘m fairly light (70 Kilos), so i get along with the 35 Nm in the Levo SL. I could climb steepest muddy stuff yesterday in 45/100 setting on the Kenevo and it felt powerful. 29er like the Enduro.
Less noisy.. that’s a huge plus. I’m starting to get tired of the high pitch whining in my SL lately.
 
front and rear axles look wider than current standards - maybe thats just a trick of the photo angle
 
That’s a pretty massive downtube if it’s got a 1.1 type motor. I wonder if they’d do a 540Wh battery in a lightweight/lower powered motor for max shuttles.

I hope not, the SL battery and range extender is more than enough power.
If it’s around 18/19kgs it’ll be perfect!
 
The point of Kenevo is self-shuttling and climbing eats battery, so I hope it will have an option for 700Wh battery.

Anyway, this bike will probably be even more expensive than 3rd gen Levo. Non-motorized S-Works Enduro is £11.5k, so figure out from that :censored:
 
The beauty of the SL is to be light weight and feel like a Normal mtb, anything heavier for me is just like a FF and may as well have a moped. If you have an SL and need more power you have the wrong bike..
be interesting to see how well it rides, it does look 27.5 in pics, the enduro feels amazing on rough tracks so can only imagine this will, and where on trails the enduro suspension is boring, maybe this beast will add a bit extra life.
exciting times anyway and hope more manufacturers develop more normal Mtb e bikes and also hoping they start lowering the prices. Maybe wishing to much there like lol.

The power of the SL is perfect for me. The sound isn’t!
 
It‘s 19,1 Kilos in S4 with Expert Spec (without pedals) with Grid Trail tires. With Grid Gravity carcass goes to be near 20 Kilo ? Downtube is normal like the Levo SL. Less playful, could be because of 3 Kilos heavier than my SL or because of S4 compared to my size M, which is like S2. Or a bit of both ?

Where’s the remote?
I don’t even see a wire for the remote
can’t really tell if there is a tcu. Reflection?

pic looks widened. This might just be a new color for the Sworks Enduro

Where is the pic from? Is it a video?
It looks like a screen grab from a video. Or a screen grab and a photoshop.

A lot of the anomalies could be explained away from the video compression. Just looks wrong though.

Fork bottom's to front axle height.

TCU appears on, but is it ? No Pedals on bike, no power cable, so it's not in charge mode.

Visual black mess under fork brace.

More dark visual mess in front of back wheel above cranks area.

S-RAM rear brake disk ???

Definitely because of both.
Like for like a lighter bike is more playful. And all bikes become less playful the larger the size.

Remember it's not far off a DH bike though and more playfulness = less stability.
