2020 Specialized Kenevo Review... One bike for everything

[@Yorku_testuje]

Hi Rob , I agree with your title - this is bike for everything - from trail, over enduro and super hard DH. I am using it over a month now. I love it. The most complete bike in the world. As a owner of Demo, Enduro and Stumpjumper and now this - I can say to all ya chaps - you have everything in one fantastic bike and after riding this - you will skip all other bikes forever.

[@stevethebutcher1776]

I was never really a fan of robs reviews. I always felt like it was just another case of cashing in on the e bike revolution. As a former bike tester for dirt magazine I know about the pitfalls of giving an opinion regarding a bike! This edit has changed my mind in regards to robs channel! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@Grifterbiden]

Excellent review Rob. I rode a 2019 Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay last weekend in North Lake Tahoe. I was very impressed with the seamless power delivery and the 48 Volt motor. I weigh in at 190 lbs with gear and I'm 5' 11" tall. Only size to test ride was a medium but should have been on a large. The motor is very quiet and I rode for close to 25 miles and used only 1/2 the battery. You definitely need to ride one. I can't wait to try the new Kenevo.

[@ClaudioPaselli]

Great fair review!!For sure the best on youtube! It's been the most fun bike i've ridden too!

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Thanks Claudio! Glad you're enjoying yours :-)

[@absolutemtb6696]

Rob Rides EMTB can you review bulls e bike the one with 750 wats batterie brose motor

[@gavelarlo6589]

I bought mine a month ago and absolutely love it. We ripped up a few trails at Afan Forrest last weekend, Brechfa the week before and a whole load of trails last night in Swansea, it’s just wonderful. I’ve had trouble with the dropper post, thats being replaced next week with a Rockshox hydraulic unit and the resin brake pads are already shot on back and front, going to have an alternative fitted next week. It’s a bit of a lump when lifting over gates etc. I’m 60 an ex-trials rider, it inspires confidence and feels as solid as a rock, I’m so looking forward to riding Morzine summers 2020. The review was absolutely spot on in every aspect and detail. If you can afford one buy it now. There are also some zero % deals out there with no deposit if you look around.

[@ericm8811]

Hey Rob Rides Emtb! Thanks for the artistically filmed and edited review of the new kenevo! Looks like you have found your "forever ebike"! I have a few weeks to wait for my first ebike to arrive but I'll keep you updated when it arrives! I'm getting the 2020 bulls monster e fs! Ride ride ride!

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Ahh so close to you getting your ebike! Let me know!

[@pascalsavy1306]

Most stable bike you’ve ever ridden! Wow, what a statement. ❤

[@davidgibbs6438]

G’day Rob’s hats off to all your reviews mate, you are a great source of information and definitely a beast. I started e biking in 2015 as a positive means in fighting lymes disease. Now I’m riding a kenevo and loving it. Keep up the good work mate and if you are ever coming to Australia and want to shred some trails 🤟 hit me up, cheers Dave.

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Hi all. Thoughts on the new Kenevo? Let me know below, I'll try to answer as many questions as possible! Cheers for all your support and watching my vids, love creating these!!

[@troycarpenter4355]

Hi Rob. If you had to choose one bike between Kenevo expert, Haibike Xduro 8.0 which I saw you tested, Which one would you have?

[@Daffy0208]

Nice one! You couldn't hide your enjoyment of the bike and that speaks volumes in any review. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Orbea Wild FS .... especially after riding the Kenevo. Cheers

[@RobRidesEMTB]

That one will be coming soon!

[@CarkeekW]

I think the 27.5 wheels have something to do with the bike being nimble, 29ers are heavier and less nimble. I tried a mixer and hated my 27.5 front wheel being taken away , leave it to those racing, 27.5 is a lot more fun.

[@DrStraightZero]

Great review! Do you get to keep the bike? My first ebike arrives today, super excited.

[@markr5132]

Rob, I don't know how much you realize this but if I'm not mistaken, you are riding much faster and better then you were last year!! good for you. I did notice your front wheel washing a few times. To help with this just lean the bike over a little more while steering the bike less (keep the bars a little less turned towards the turn yet light on the bars-put no weight on the bars) put weight on the outside pedal and if the bike slips it will be the rear or both wheels and it will slide slower. Once I started steering the the back wheel or adjusting the steering for more cornering to the rear wheel I no longer loose the front end in corners and have much more control and fun/speed. Thanks for a nice review, I just ordered my 2019 carbon Levo Comp dark blue, putting 27.5/2.8 tires, 170mm Lyric and DPX2 tuning for 160 travel to create a Kelevo!! My Bro already has built a similar bike and it rocks.

[@WestonJamesPalmer]

Great review Rob! Selling my Moto immediately to get a Kenevo. I will miss my Moto, but I believe I can have much more LOCAL daily fun. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Cheers! Ahh man you'll love the Kenevo!

[@MrScrofulous]

Yeah, I could have bought a new WR250 for the same money as the Kenevo, but I didn't want a motorbike that I can't ride anywhere I want to ride. I wanted an extra capable push-bike

[@TWOWHEELFIX]

Great review, Rob. I've owned the 2019 kenevo expert for about a year and it's definitely the best bike I've ever ridden. I have no doubt the 2020 with better battery and triple clamp forks would be my new favourite too. Starting to wish I hadn't watched this now 🤣👍🍻

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Thanks for your kind comments Gerd :-)

[@christophereles1803]

Thanks so much Rob for the review! I always enjoy your videos.

[@simonfarr8670]

important thing to consider about e-bikes, long travel droppers, and Specialized's "S" sizing, is that there may very well not be room for a dropper post as long as you would like. the sizing is intended to allow riders to pick and choose their preferred reach, while still being able to fit on a wide variety of frames. this is neat for people who fit Medium frames typically, but it very clearly limits what will fit. TL;DR- a 175/200mm dropper isn't going to be specced because Spesh has foregone sizing based on height.

[@MrScottBowman]

Awesome review. Just ordered the 2021 because of this video. Trading in my Demo and Stumpjumper for this. I ride Mammoth Mountain Bike Park with my Demo and the Los Angeles mountains with my Stumpjumper and looks like this bike will let me do both with 1 sick ebike. Thanks Rob.

[@Digiphex]

I would like to see you ride a budget MTB with one of the $100 rear hub motors you see on Amazon and eBay. They are great fun.

[@worldstallestmidget]

Every manufacturer needs to make all their bikes with dual crown and dh geo! Just got one Ian’s I took it on xc ride some free ride and dh! Can do it all! My only complaint but not a big one, is got ti get use to long bike on tight switches and turns on the bike because how long it is on xc trails. But I haven’t ridden a dh bike in a long time! So just got to get use to it again! Great bike! Go get one!

[@beanucardwell8528]

I actually rekon that your videos are so awesome and down to earth. I dream of the day i will own an ebike like this one.

[@bluestraycat]

Always love your balanced and detailed reviews Rob! One hell of a bike but one hell of a price too

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Thanks Phill - I sometimes forget how expensive these bikes are.

[@mogulhopper]

Brilliant Rob and thank you for sharing such a comprehensive review warts and all ! Your enthusiasm for this bike has now thrown a spanner in the works for me, having ridden a gen 1 Kenevo for the last year my mind was made up to have a new Levo next after trying one, however your transparent review of the gen 2 Kenevo has stopped my dead in thought processing tracks ! Now what ? Phone Berkshire and arraange a test ride ? There is far to much money involved in changing bike again to make a mistake ...........

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Yeah I know - lots of cash to change. Give one a go and see what you think. I’d take this over my Levo.

[@mogulhopper]

@@RobRidesEMTB thank you, I worked out 75% of my ride time is around east anglian trails the rest in more gravity based destinations , would you say the new Ken is as good for general hard core XC trails and enduro sessioning as a Levo ? I know you touched on this in the video but I was genuinely impressed with the capability of a Levo ...... you see you've caused confusion with such a great review !

[@Chuckolicious]

@@RobRidesEMTB Does that take into account your longer fork and better rear shock upgrades on your Levo? I'm thinking that for me, a Levo with your spec might be the move, but then I'm 5'8" and 152lbs.

[@RobRidesEMTB]

@@Chuckolicious Yes definitely. Feel it fits me much better (Levo is 480mm reach vs 520mm reach on the Kenevo)

[@ignae]

Great honest review, rare thing theese days with sponsored reviews.

[@joelomatic2000]

Khaawww this get's me so psyched for a Kenevo! This thing is high on the list when I can afford an e-mtb, Specialized may have made it so that I have to save a little bit longer...but that alright. Great review man, thank you loved the detail you went into and for outlining who this bike is really for.

[@RobRidesEMTB]

Cheers! Glad you like the vid and bike 👊👊

[@evltwin984]

Bang on review. Ive got the comp, with 700wh battery upgrade, just threw my renthal 30mm stem on & frekn love it now. Much more responsive, i have no issues keeping up with trail bike geo on tight windy stuff

[@lucasmosching8983]

The stem alone makes the bike more responsive? Do you still ride the kenevo?

I think I want one. Great review. Could I ask, how many runs did you manage at bike park Wales? Cheers.

[@nicholastoo858]

Those cam shots are dope!

[@coldsteeloffroad]

Reminds me of a semi-truck w/trailer when turning the front end side to side and the rear lags behind 😂 I just ordered a '22 in S4. I'm 6'2" and the S5 fit, but I could tell it was too long so sized it down as I see you did in one of your recent videos when you made a Kenduro 29'er out of the green '22. Nice videos man & great quality/editing!

[@imatusi5945]

Hello, are you happy with the size of the frame? I'm 186 cm and I'm thinking about buying size S5

[@coldsteeloffroad]

@imatusi5945 I'm happy with it. I wouldn't go any longer if riding any tighter turns or rolling over large, technical rocks, etc. If riding only super fast, open, bike park-type stuff the S5 would probably be ok. I would buy the S4 again if I was to do it all over.

[@norcorider2005]

Great review Rob. So, so tempted with the YT Decoy CF Pro (especially with the Black Friday discount!!), but then you did this review of the Kenevo, now not so sure... There's also the Commencal Meta Power SX which looks sick. Wish is was easier to ride them back to back.

[@RobRidesEMTB]

They’re all so good right now you can’t really get a bad one!

[@norcorider2005]

@@RobRidesEMTB You're right Rob, they're astonishing fun! Took a basic Levo the other day and couldn't stop talking about it, wanting to get back on and ride even when it was chucking it outside. Been watching all your vids as you're fairly local so you're riding the same trails/terrain as me so I can relate to what you show. It was your vid in the S of France that sold the Decoy to me. Thanks for sharing such informative, real-world videos!!

[@RichGolfPro]

[@MrSergioRosario]

top review. thank you. maybe one of the best reviews 🙏

[@skyfiblue]

Brilliant review! I love your clips and editing/music choices. Us Yanks are still awaiting the Stateside release. Do you think an S3 would be the best size for 5’9” 68kg? Even though stand over isn’t an issue, my (speculative) sense is that it would be more lively than an S4 at that height/weight. I want a confident bike but not necessarily a monster truck that’s hard to maneuver.

Good review Rob! Having a blast on mine as well!

Hi Rob A really good review, as always great content and filming. You mentioned, and I have read quite a lot recently, that the Specialized (Brosse) motors have a problem in the wet. Where I ride most of the trails are flooded at the moment with 6" + of water. I am riding a 2020 Cube Hybrid with the new Bosch motor and haven't had any problems at all with the depth of water. I'm looking at Specialized Kenevo or Levo in the New Year but if the bike stops every time I go through deepish water it would be a no no. What do you think, was it just your bike or do they all suffer the same problem ? Thanks G

Great review Rob. Interesting to see the trail capabilities with such a long and slack geometry. I reckon the steep seat angle has something to do with that.
