Hello fellow rider.
What change in the cinematic and suspension if we put a shock with 65mm length instead of the stock 62.5 ?

thanks

Hello everyone!

Anyone tried a 37mm offset fork on the 2020 Kenevo?

Thanks.

I have a 36mm offset 185mm boxxer on my s5 kenevo. I love the shorter fron end and 3xtra grip.

Does anyone know if I need to change the headset on a 2022 Kenevo Expert to install a Fox 38 from the standard Boxer?

I just changed the crown race, the lower bearing is compatible with 1.5 steerer.

 

[Alexbn921]

Make sure you get a crown race that has the same angle as your stock bearings.

I got this one…. Seems to work

That has a 45 angle and is NOT compatible with the stock bearing. You need to get a cane creek lower bearing to go with it.

Yep I've had that on my bike for a few years. No issues. Stock bearings.

My Kenevo will now back peddle. What does this mean? I removed the crank arms and spider. Nothing in there. The drive nut for the spider will not rotate backwards anymore...

Question….. I have looked but have not found it but does anyone have the geometry number's change with the Kenevo elite flip chip? I was wondering about the head angle and bb hight change? Some companies list the changes with flip chip but it seems the big S does not?

It's insane how good is this bike !!!

I ride a scott ransom 29 and ebike giant trance SX pro from 2019 27"5. The giant was lacking so much in downhill, I was only riding the Scott, but i am not super fit, so when i go muscular I do one climb and one descent. Its frustrating sometimes lol.

The Kenevo, is blowing my mind, it go down like the ransom, super capable, the motor is dead silent and super efficient.
My brother rode the giant and I rode the kenevo on the same ride, the giant was loud as fuck lol. And on the same level of assistance he was slower and putting more effort to stay with me. He also rode a lot more on eco mode, because I knew giant was eating battery faster.
At the end of the ride he add consume 595wh vs me 511wh.

The motor on the specialized is something else. And the bike is perfectly balanced going down. I will try 29 in front because I love them on the scott.

Tbh I dont know why buy something else in 2023. I tried some brand before purchase, santacruz, mondraker ... All ok going down, but no wahoo effect with the motor and insane price with bad equipment. The Specialized motor with 700wh is so much better, purchased on sale with AXS, carbon wheel, new motor... Insane.

Convert it to full 29er and you will be even more impressed

Good day guys.

Unfortunately my Kenevo was stolen a couple days ago... It was a nice bike, I don't think I enjoyed a bike this much ever.

Take care of your bikes and never leave them out of your sight.
