Been riding this a lot, 5 months now, and its a bike I HOPE specialized will make. 29er 180mm is so capable!! Aluminium,, 23.5 KG with a burly build, DD MaxxGrip Tyres, 700Wh Battery, Fox 38 - Flip Chip in HIGH, slack, stable, fast!

Always love your custom builds Rob, your enthusiasm is making me want to get out and ride 🤟

Love it!! I own a Levo Gen 2 and have never even considered a Kenevo because of the 27.5 wheels, fork and the weight. This could be my next Specialized E-bike.

Hey Rob great video! Sounds like my 2022 Scott Ransom… 29/29, 180/180mm, Bosch gen 4… I’m loving it. My Levo is gathering dust in the garage!

Agree on all counts Rob....I bought my 2021 Kenevo with specific mission to mullet and then found a 29 fits in rear.

I waited as patiently as I could for Specialized to release a full power Kenevo 29r front and rear. I gave up and purchased the new Pivot Shuttle LT and I love this bike! I have a feeling Specialized is going to release this bike soon.

You have one of the nicest well organized bike studios on youtube compared to other channels I follow. Other creators should take notice.

My Kenevo is an aluminum frame with 27.5 f/r, upgraded with a Fox X2 with180 travel rear, 203mm travel Fox40 on the front with a 0.9" drop crown, S5 size. Amazing bike, really smooth power delivery, it jumps very nice and balanced, and its so much fun! I agree on the chainstay length, I am 6'2" and it feels much more stable and balanced with a longer length chainstay.

I'm a die hard viewer of your videos. And also a fellow tall rider (6'5") you should look into DMR stems. The 50mm stem has 10mm rise and 35mm stem a 5mm rise. You dont have to use as many spacers under the stem which also benefits the flex character of the front end. Also DMR makes great quality products 👌 thanks for the great quality content!

Nice one Rob. Love your work and your videos. Everything you changed on the bike and how it rides is so similar to my Scott 910. My Scott is just a bit heavier

I have the GEN 2 Kenevo Comp, been gradually upgrading parts.

I've built my own version of Kelevo based off Levo Gen3, with a Fox 38 170mm in the front and 165mm Ohlins in the rear (using the cascade LT link). The best ebike Ive ridden. So much confidence. I really hope they will offer this configuration to the public in the future

Very interesting. I’m 5’10’ and a S4 on a normal build. Found my Gen 2 29er Levo like a monster truck, but in mullet it was perfect

Congrats for creating such a stunning project bike. Like the colour Co-ordination with the beany

I have heavily modified my GEN two levo and it is an absolute beast. And I have levociraptor installed so I can pedal the thing up to 33 miles an hour. New brakes and new coil suspension and a new drivetrain, it is so fun!

I had a commencal meta power SX race and I found the 63 degree head angle to be so slack that it compromises front end grip and makes the bike feel like a bus. It's great if you are riding steep gnarly terrain but that is only like 25% of the trails I ride. I also ride a lot of windy singletrack and all sorts of other trails so for me, a more trail focused bike is better. I got the Mondraker Crafty R which is kinda like a trail bike that has been slightly stretched in reach and made tough like an enduro bike. Its fantastic and does anything and everything really really well. It's the best ebike I have ridden so far and I love it.

Great idea to challenge manufacturers to follow Voima type of bikes, need more of that! Would love you to review the Haibike Nduro 7, maybe you can get your hands on it. Keep smashing it man.

I agree, I’ve had the YT Decoy, S-Works Kenevo SL and Regular Kenevo. I’ve built my Kenevo full 29er with a Fox 40 200mm. Been riding it for a year and by far my favorite e-bike I’ve ever ridden. Don’t see anything on the current market that I would replace it with. E-bikes have motors, why not have the most travel you can get

I mulleted my kenevo last year and love it. Put a fox38 with 170mm and it only very slightly changed the geometry

Hi Rob I turned my 2021 Kenevo into a mullet I ditched the duel crown on went a set of fox 38s . I actually found the original boxxer select to be way too linear . I had to run 5 volume spacers just to stop to stop bottom out but as a result the fork lost its supple feeling . Next was a fox float X2 and the combination of the fork the rear shock and a 29 is amazing I also ditched the original tyres which were like balloons in favour of a 2.4 from Michelin Dh 22 . This combination completely transformed the bike. It's a DH enduro weapon .
