    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!

    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!

    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

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

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    Love you doing what feels good Rob. Companies do just go in directions because they 'think' that's what people want.

    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'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!

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

    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.

    Hi Rob, I'd love to see you ride the latest Norco range. It seems to already have the things you value such as chain stay length and focusing on centering the rider on the bike.

    Would be cool to see you do a build and review with the gen 3 carbon levo with the cascade long shock kit and a 170mm fork!
