I went into the reason for the upgrade in the first post of this thread:
"In my quest to race E Enduro, I upgraded my beloved Kenevo SL."
I am already competitive on the KSL and the promise of additional power with the same handling was the motivating reason.
The reason for the purchase of...
I took the time to read your articles. Watch your videos. How about you take the read to read my analysis, we can then discuss what part of my test you disagree?
Well the truth my accusations are data driven. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either they censor me and take a serious credibly knock or they conduct their own research. What really telling is that they have not provided there own research
@Zimmerframe @Rob Rides EMTB @knut7 all have had/have access to 1.1 and 1.2 and yet I am the only one that has produced really data and a view based on the data. Yet I am the one whose opinions are being belittled. Very very telling
I also offered all my personal details via DM. @knut7 asked...
@Zimmerframe Strava uses estimated power when there is no power meter. As we all know the KSL has a power meter and hence the screenshot I showed does not say estimated power.
I love the fact that I am the one showing:
1. My data, including screenshots
2. My conclusions, including detailed...
The reason the data is important is that what you feel has many inputs. In the case of a motor there are two main drivers to what @knut7, @Doomanic and @p3eps are experiencing being Torque NM and Power W.
My tests have shown a noticeable increase in Torque (proven at lower speeds) and the...
So me not accepting data from Specialized on there own product which is in contradiction to my own real world test is me being a conspiracy theorist.
Feel like 1984 here, enjoy the eco chamber.
Isn't it a bit odd that this thread has had a gander from over 23,000 pairs of eyes and yet, not a single soul has trotted out any data to counter mine? You'd think with the shiny new SL 1.2 on the market, we'd see a flood of cyclists zipping through Strava with eye-popping, record-breaking...
@Rob Rides EMTB, consistently relying on data from questionable or theoretical sources makes it challenging to have meaningful discussions. I suggest that you conduct your own tests, which would lay the foundation for a more objective conversation. I have personally taken the initiative to run...
As more SL 1.2 get sold to SL 1.1 owners and now KSL 1.1 owners buy KSL 1.2's the reviews and posts by @Rob Rides EMTB and @knut7 will not age well. These people are on Strava and the data is simply not going to be flattering. Mark my words.
Mid August in Cape Town South Africa is middle of winter.
@Rob Rides EMTB you feel that my test results are in line with Specialized claims? and the problem based on your stance is the lab and my expectations? Really just want to clarify your stance here.
I prefer to avoid engaging in subjective discussions because they tend to lead to complex and unproductive conversations.
In this context, the issue at hand revolves around data, and the data doesn't seem to align with the claims being made. While I understand that you may have your own...
@Rob Rides EMTB as a long time fan of your videos I am asking your personal view on the 1.1 to 1.2 discussion? You have ridden both motors and seen the data posed here.
he German laboratory has conducted an accurate measurement. My current stance is based on the premise that the figures provided by Specialized may not be accurate, as they are not corroborated by real-world tests. Therefore, my comparison is between versions 1.1 and 1.2, and I have made my...
the figures I'm observing in my data are markedly different. I am open to providing the unprocessed data, which indicates that the maximum increase is approximately 28 watts at best, rather than the 80 watts that has been claimed. This is a considerable discrepancy, and I must note that the 28...
