Well done, Thank You Sam, great choice of rider mix. We have all three bikes in our family to switch around with. All great bikes. The best one... is the one I'm riding any single day day. Thanks again!

I just bought the 2021 Specialized Turbo Kenevo Expert literally just a few minutes ago and am super stoked for it to arrive!!!

Great video! This is a very important video for those of us who are considering a new bike.

Hey Sam, your video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, I’ve been a huge fan of the kenevo for sometime. Lucky for me I just received my confirmation from Specialized last Friday that my Kenevo models is in and ready for me to pickup on Tuesday 😃, that blew my mind I and going to own a Kenevo, Yahooooo! BTW, I had the same vision you mentioned, go mullet! last night i ordered my new suspension 29” Rockshox Zeb ultimate 180 in the front and out back Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate progressive Coil. Keep up the training on Strava! Your killing it!

Great video Sam!! Nice people...

Great video Sam and lovely to see peeps with differing experience and skills enjoying a day out. I’m with you, get a base bike you like and tune it to your needs. A Levo mullet would be a great go to bike with 170 up front so can handle gnar but also go for longer trail stuff too ...with option to use 29/29 as well as. 29/27. Keep it up fella, the trails are drying out !

Good tunes for the video. Interesting comparison of rider size, experience, and fitness.

Great video Sam. I’ve got the 2021 kenevo expert. Love it beast of a bike 😁

Great video Sam 👍🏽 I was so torn between the 3 bikes when I bought my Levo last may, for me for what the Levo gives me for a whole lot less money than the kenevo was well worth it. I really wanted an SL but unfortunately my knee needs the extra power. Following mates on kenevo and SL the SL is super quick and flicky downhill, and probably the most fun

Very interesting comparison , already seen from another biker/you tuber , and mainly the results are similar: More the rider it’s expert, more he prefer the SL , on the opposite when the rider it’s a beginner he prefer the fatter and powerful bike

Great to see comparison and different points of view which leads leads me into nicely into head tube and steam tube angles what’s the ideal for an enduro setup in your opinion. Looking at a moustache game, commencal meta power 29 and mondraker crafty, they all have different angles but all say are enduro which would you say is better

I'm an old guy maybe older than Nick. I have a Merida E160 with an E8000, best thing I ever bought. I ride to work every day, 22km round trip which is getting me exercise. Yes these ebikes are expensive but how much is your health which is your life, worth. You can't take your money when you die. For the price of a cheap used car, I have a great commuter/fun bike. For me, I wouldn't go under the E8000's torque. The E8000 and higher output motors have reserves of torque which are nice to have.

Not sure why my comment got deleted but here we go again. I bought my 2020 Turbo Levo Expert Carbon, in November 2020 with zero MTB experience . Today is July4th and I now have 1000 miles under my tires and I absolutely love it ! ,,,, I blew my motor and my local Bike Shop got me the new updated version for free and it took 12 days and then I blew my rear end and they got me the new updated version along with 2 new carbon wheels for free and it took 12 days , so I'm happy with the brands. The motor made uphill fun and suddenly I became a downhill rider . Now that I have some experience, I feel like I want a 27.5 on the rear and more travel up front . The 2022 comes stock like this so it must be a good idea, I just want to make sure my frame will like the adjustment. I would love some thoughts on this please ? ? ?

Guys, Nice review. I need an advice related to sizing. I’m 180 cm and my wife 175 cm. We want to share a bike - my wife for a short tours only really. However, we tried S3 and it seemed to be ok although I looked a bit too big for s3. In the shop they recommended S4 with shorter stem. What would you recommend? Thanks a lot, much appreciated

Hello, i would say that i depends on how you want to ride the bike. If you and your wife want a fun poppy bike you should buy the S3. If you want a plower buy the S4. I am 197cm and i have riden the S3 S4 and S5 and i like the S4 the most because it fits my type of riding. If i were you i would buy the S3

Hey Sam! Could you give me some advice? I’m looking at getting a trail/enduro ebike, 5000 euros is my limit! I can get a Scott genius 920 eride from my local dealer for 4600, or the other option was the yt decoy 29 comp! Would you risk getting the decoy?

Hi Sam as a beginner is the better bike the levo or the kenevo , i want the full fat ebike experience but also something which is agile on the downhills .

@thomassobelman8350

3 жыл бұрын

I’m not Sam but I do happen to have all 3 of these bikes. A Kenevo is most definitely not a beginner bike. If you’re looking for agile, the Levo is much more agile. The Kenevo is more point and shoot. It’s not playful. It’s an incredible climber and like a bolt of lightning downhill. It’s not great in the tight stuff and doesn’t change direction easily. It’s very long and slack. However, it ploughs through everything and allows you to take any line. It’s very confidence inspiring but agile it’s not. If you ride hard and go big it’s the best ebike I’ve ever ridden but most people would be happier and more comfortable on a Levo...or a Trek Rail.

@thomassobelman8350

I’d have to respectfully disagree. The Kenevo would definitely give a beginner a plush ride and feel safe descending but it’s not easy to wheel around at trail speed and it requires some special techniques for turning, especially while climbing. Also, because of the long reach and sheer length, the Kenevo requires the rider to move around a lot on the bike. Rider position is crucial. If you’re a beginner and you’re not positioning yourself properly on the bike and not dropping the seat when you should, you’re going to crash a lot. Unless most of your riding is steep downhill I think a Kenevo would slow a beginner down. I only have experience with the expert version that has the dual crown fork and coil. Maybe the comp version has a different feel.

My next bike has to be the sl
