For me, i'll be going for the lightweight emtb. If you are used to a full power one, i think you would notice a massive decrease in power. (this one was only 35nm). If you go around in trail/turbo all day on your full one, you wont like this i dont think! eco mode is equivilent to being 1 gear higher and you putting in effort that you could mabye only manage for 1 min before having to stop. These ones are lighter, so should chage direction better and be less of a tank on the downhill, i like the bike to move around etc so suits me.
@@alex737M i have a full power de restricted e bike for the last 9 months its sat in my garage as i felt something was missing and that was been for a ride its made riding to easy and it is why ive gone back to riding my normal mtb as well as investing in a gravel bike last year, in all my time of having my e bike which is 5 years everytime i have gone to hamsterley i have always taken my hightower with me my e bike has never been ive been looking at one of these yet to test ride
ahh, well fair enough. Im the same, i want the fitness, just make it a bit easier up the hills so i can get more in. This Kenevo was far too much of a bike though, 180mm travel, 63.5 head angle and long reach 29er. When i got back on my transition patrol, which is 170/160 still a 63.5 head angle but 27.5 wheels, the patrol felt significantly more fun and flickable (but transitions apparweltly are more about the fun than outright speed ) . Not sure how much of that is down to the 29er vs 27.5 etc as the bikes actually feel about the same weight. I'd say the power is more like what you are looking for then.
@@alex737Mk didnt realise the specialized store in durham rented these bikes out for the day, im going to rent a one for the day to see how it feels before i just fork out a load of cash and just hope i like the kenevo, thankyou very much for messaging back, take good care on your rides
Some save on that ice patch 😮
pure luck!!!!
good video , what is the settings in your fork?
I only rented it for the day, it was far too soft, i had to keep turning up the compression dial on the right to try not to blow through the travel
!
What did you set eco , trail and turbo on Mission Control ?
I just rented it so i'm not sure im afraid
would you still prefer a full powered e bike? or would you for one of these? i have a full powered e bike and would like a go of one of these
