Turbo Kenevo
Algupära
Turbo Kenevo oli Specializedi freeride'ile orienteeritud eMTB, mis paiknes Levo kohal pikema vedrustusega (180 mm ees, 170 mm taga), 27,5-tolliste rataste ja lõdvema roolipeaga, mis oli mõeldud järskudeks alpide laskumisteks ja rattapargi ringideks. 2018. aastal koos teise põlvkonna Levoga turule toodud Kenevo jagas sama Brose-põhist 2.x mootoriplatvormi, kuid oli häälestatud raskematele sõitjatele, kõvematele maandumistele ja karmimale maastikule. Alumiiniumist raam, tugevam vedrustuse link ja allamäge spetsifikatsiooniga komponendid tegid sellest nišš-, kuid lojaalse jälgijaskonnaga masina Euroopas, kus järsk mägisõit premeeris selle suure löögi enesekindlust. Specialized lõpetas vaikselt täisvõimsusega Kenevo sarja 2024. aastal, suunates freeride-eMTB kliendi kas uuele Levo Gen 4-le (mis sulges suure osa vedrustuse ja geomeetria lõhest) või kergemale Kenevo SL 2-le SL 1.2 mootoriga. Uus varu kadus EL-i edasimüüjatelt 2025. aasta jooksul.

- Geomeetria
- Two distinct geometry philosophies. Full-power Kenevo: pure DH/bike-park geometry — 63° HA (slack), 74° STA, 27.5" wheels, 180/180mm travel, dual-crown fork compatible. Kenevo SL 2: modern adjustable e-enduro — 62.5°/63.5°/64.5° HA via flip-chip, 78° STA, 29" wheels, 170/170mm travel, single-crown ZEB fork.
- Kaal
- Kenevo SL 2 Expert ~20.4 kg, Comp ~21 kg — one of the lightest 170mm e-enduro bikes. Full-power Kenevo (discontinued) ~25 kg.
- Mootor
- Kenevo SL 2: Specialized SL 1.2, 250W nominal / 320W peak, 50Nm, 1.95kg (33% more power / 43% more torque than SL 1.0). Full-power Kenevo: Specialized 2.2, 250W nominal / 565W peak, 90Nm, 2.9kg (discontinued).
- Aku
- Kenevo SL 2: Specialized SL 320Wh internal + optional 160Wh Range Extender (480Wh total). Full-power Kenevo: Specialized M3 700Wh, removable.
- Ekraan
- Specialized MasterMind TCU, top-tube integrated; Expert adds bar-mounted MicroTune (10% power-increment adjustment); pairs with Specialized App / Mission Control.
- Sõiduulatus
- Kenevo SL 2: up to ~70 km mixed terrain on 320Wh, up to ~100 km with 160Wh Range Extender, claimed up to 1300m elevation gain. Full-power Kenevo: up to ~110 km / 1600m on 700Wh.
- Abiklass
- EU pedelec (EPAC, EN 15194): 250W nominal, assist cutoff 25 km/h — bicycle classification in EE/LV/LT. US: Class 1 e-bike (pedal-assist, 20 mph / 32 km/h cutoff). Peak watts do not affect EU class.
Verdikt
- SL 1.2 motor (Kenevo SL 2) is exceptionally quiet and natural-feeling — reviewers say it 'doesn't feel like an e-bike most of the time' (BikeRadar, Loam Wolf, Bikerumor).
- ~20.4 kg (Expert) is a genuine differentiator — one of the lightest 170mm e-enduro bikes, ~4.6 kg lighter than the full-power Kenevo it replaced.
- Adjustable geometry: 3-position HA flip-chip (62.5/63.5/64.5°) plus ±7mm BB height gives real tuning latitude for different trail networks.
- FACT 11m/12m carbon frame shares the acoustic Specialized Enduro platform — well-resolved suspension kinematics and high frame quality.
- MasterMind TCU with bar-mounted MicroTune (10% power increments) is intuitive and well-integrated with the Specialized App.
- 320Wh battery limits range to ~70 km mixed terrain / 1–2 hours of aggressive riding — the Range Extender is a ~€350 separate purchase, not bundled.
- Stock front tire (Butcher GRID TRAIL T9) understeers on hard-pack and dry/loose conditions — reviewers widely recommend upgrading to a grippier compound (T9R Soft / Assegai MaxxGrip).
- Price-to-spec ratio is weak at full MSRP — only competitive at the current ~25% sale pricing (Expert €5,999 vs €7,999 original).
- No factory mullet option (29" only) — some riders prefer a 27.5" rear for short-chainstay agility.
- Full-power Kenevo (discontinued) was heavy (25 kg) with a dual-crown fork that only paid off on the steepest 5–10% of trails; on mid-difficulty terrain its travel and weight were liabilities (E-MOUNTAINBIKE).
