Bro i wanted to give you a shoutout in the vid but i couldn't remember your instagram :'( But yes that technique is so clutch haha made life so much easier so thanks again! And yeah the yellow is a little too bright for me haha...
You lost one of the thru axle caps on the front wheel when you took the packaging off! You probably put it back on already, but make sure it goes back on :)
The colour scheme reminds me of that dull home decor everybody has in a room furnished from Dunelm. Should have "live laugh love" on top tube and you'd be winning.
Dont you need to make it as product placement? Since youre sponsored? We have this rule in germany , but idk how it is in uk since the brexit 🤷🏻♂️ Would be cool if you could answer me :)
It's actually a very good question that i would like to know the answer to myself. I've just read a 20 page document looking for a clear definite answer and still don't know. Every sponsored MTB 'influencer' i've ever seen on TH-cam in the UK and the majority of them worldwide never put a paid product placement notice at the beginning of their videos unless the video itself has been sponsored by a third party that aren't their own bike sponsors. For example, none of the videos that feature Haibikes on Sam Pilgrim's channel are labelled as 'paid product placements', even though Haibike are definitely paying him to create content and advertise their bikes. Same with Matt Jones and Marin, Brendan Fairclough with Scott etc... Hence why i have never labelled my videos as paid product placements. Also, Specialized do not pay me per video i create... these are not individually 'sponsored' videos, i get paid via a yearly contract same as the majority of the other MTB TH-camrs. I think it's a pretty grey area that needs to be defined for transparency... i will definitely take a deeper look into the whole thing and try and find an answer. Hope that helps! Thanks
@@willgreenfield Thanks for your honest answer. Laws are super complicated and this "grey" zone is not clear. Hope it works out for me too 😂 Im not on youtube but instagram and i always put *AD in the text to be safe 🫣 Anyway , enjoy this bike man and tell us how it rides 🙏
Supacaz Krypto pedals, they work together with specialized which is how i heard of them... but they've been surprisingly good so far (rode them on my Levo a few times), big platform, loads of grip and a nice concave feel unlike some pedals i've used in the past
@@willgreenfield Summary of issues that can arise to enlighten you: Greases can react with the resin and cause it to break down and even swell resulting in the seat post to become seized in place. Grease can also cause the seat tube to become too slippery to grip the seat post. This happened to me when a bike mechanic put grease on the seat post during assembly of a new bike. The frame had to be replaced. It is not worth the risk !!
Not seen the bike yet, but based on the title, first thing I said was "oh no it's going to be a road bike isn't it" 🤣 *EDIT* sweet bike! Have you taken this in lieu of your full fat Levo?
haha i must admit i don't think i'll ever be on a road bike to be honest bro... i only enjoy the downhills and the idea of pedalling like that doesn't really appeal to me haha!! And going to hopefully be keeping the Levo for a little longer, it's such a great bike for the bigger wales days etc
I've so lost count of how many bikes you've got now 😂😂😂
Currently 3 haha :) Stumpy Evo, Levo Pro and Kenevo SL!
Banging bike can’t wait for the first ride video
Thanks broski, in love with the colourway!
@@willgreenfield yh bro that’s the best one for sure
Can’t wait to see how you like it out on the trails.
Took it out for a spin since making this video... it's a monster on the downhills, so fast and stable! Cheers for watching bro :)
Awesome bike William 👌 nice vid 👊🏻
Thank you Craigiam :)
That’s a really lovely bike Will, I also enjoyed the video very much thank you for sharing xo
i am honoured sir, thank you for tuning in xo
Which grease should be using ?
those are some beautiful pedals
Glad you like them! I'm a big fan of them tbh
Nice vid, absolutely love my KSL
When UNBOXING you feel like a kid.
The FEELING of excitement.
PRICELESS. 😁😁😁😁😁
it's true, so much excitement! Thanks for watching :)
Nice box opening technique 😉 Expert spec is where it’s at, nice color too, the other one is a bit too Tonka truck
Bro i wanted to give you a shoutout in the vid but i couldn't remember your instagram :'( But yes that technique is so clutch haha made life so much easier so thanks again! And yeah the yellow is a little too bright for me haha...
Always a banger bike and vid
Too kind bro thank you
Looks like a nice bike, even if it's an ebike, lol. Looks like Specialized hasn't yet tried to reduce the amount of packaging material they use.
Thanks (i think) lol! And hopefully one day all bike companies will use 100% cardboard packaging so we can just recycle it all!
I want to know how much this bike costs someone tell me plz??
Oil slick GANG. Sick bike homie.
gang gang, thanks broski!
You lost one of the thru axle caps on the front wheel when you took the packaging off! You probably put it back on already, but make sure it goes back on :)
Haha don't worry i definitely put it back on... Thanks anyway though!
Picked one up myself a few weeks ago... absolute game changer 🙌
oh really thats sick! Which model/colourway?
@@willgreenfield expert in grey too mate, so good!
@@olly-mtb no way haha we're matching! Hands down the best colourway in my opinion
hes joined the cool kit sl blue zip tie club too
is that an SL exclusive thing? Reminds me of OFF-WHITE shoes
The colour scheme reminds me of that dull home decor everybody has in a room furnished from Dunelm. Should have "live laugh love" on top tube and you'd be winning.
personally reminds me of the Audi Nardo grey thats why i like it! But yes maybe Live Laugh Love should be my next frame sticker haha
Very very sorry William sir, only getting around to watching this now but mother of God is she a beauty😍
When i saw the massive rotor i knew it was an ebike
haha nice spot! They are massive tbf

The strongest of strong
More unboxing vids than actual riding😎
More watching vids than actual pracownia fizyczna
haha luckily not... unboxing vids take way more time and effort to make!
Ur using the wrong grease for the seat post, ur supposed to use fibre grip
Its ur lucky day because normally i don't use any 😅😂
@@willgreenfield lol of course
Pedals are nice ! What are they ?
Supacaz Krypto pedals, they work together with specialized which is how i heard of them... but they've been surprisingly good so far (rode them on my Levo a few times), big platform, loads of grip and a nice concave feel unlike some pedals i've used in the past
God evening. Love it, what a top view- see ya!. buddy- ;))
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed the video :)
Will are yu sponsored by specialized? Or get a nice discount? Or jyst love their bikes?
Supported by Specialized yes :) but also love the bikes haha!! Cheers for watching bro
Who knew that your next bike might need a software update
haha strange world we're living in ay
If that is a Carbon frame you should not be using grease on the seat post.
will buy some carbon paste next time, sorry dad :(

I was cringing as he opened the box with his fingers. When I opened my bike I did the same and it sliced my fingers bad
oh boy wish you'd warned me about this before... hope your finger is still attached :)
Where was your adult who should have been using those scissors
i don't know, where were YOU??
Try out hamsterley forest
