For the past 3 years I've only owned and ridden eMTBs exclusively - my main ride is a 2022 Kenevo Expert. Before that 25 years had passed since I last rode my 90s steel 18 or 19kg mountain bike). Last month I finally pulled the trigger on a Santa Cruz 5010 (good price, for a SC, that is, from...

Wow, nice!

Saw this Formula Belva 180mm dual crown enduro fork: Introducing the Formula Belva - a Dual-Crown Enduro Fork. Looks interesting, something I could consider moving on to from my Kenevo (had a Reign E+ with a Fox 38 and it felt flimsy for my 100kg). Has anyone tried it yet (if it is available at...

Using the Outbound downhill set and I’m very pleased with the performance, especially with the quality of the light without hotspots or artifacts. Less eye strain, you just forget the lights are there.

My K2 Storm Gray Sonni was supposed to be built and shipped on Dec. 8th (week 49) and it has been delayed to the 1st week of 2024. I did order it on Oct. 2nd.

Maybe the Vivid is over damped as MTB Telly found? Hope not as I've ordered my 200/200 Sonni with the Vivid Ultimate.

I'd say it's mostly down to the front 27,5" wheel - I don't know anything about bikes except what I read around over the internet and my main hesitation buying the Kenevo was that the 27,5" at the front looked outdated on paper (and paper is all I know except for the bikes I've actually owned)...

I recently purchased a 126 link GX to replace the original on my 2022 Kenevo Expert and I had to remove a few links to make it match the one that came installed from the factory, length wise. I don't think I have removed 8 links (maybe 3 to 5, I don't remember), so I'd get the 126 link version...

How are you liking your new Kenevo?

I got mine for €6600 out of €9400 and I love how it can be incredibly plush and precise at the same time - must be due to the dual crown fork and the 27,5" wheels. This bike just gets so many things right for me that I sold my other bikes (including a Reign E+1 2022) and I don't think I'll go...

@Sinkrate, it’s the brittle plastic one that comes with the battery. I wish I had replaced it with something sturdier before.

This past weekend I struck a large loose rock that the front tire lifted while descending with a considerable speed on my 2022 Kenevo Expert. The bike behaved as usual: if it weren't for the loud bang I wouldn't even have noticed it, it's so incredibly composed and supple. The hit broke the...

Same here, riding a 2022 Kenevo Expert stock and coming from a 2022 Giant Reign E+ (mullet, 160mm) and a 2021 Giant Stance E+ (full 29er, 120mm) before that. Despite being longer (S4 vs L) and despite the dual crown fork, the Kenevo somehow feels easier to handle on tight switchbacks - might be...

2022 Kenevo, but the motor is the same if I'm not mistaken.

I'm lucky to own both a Reign E+1 2022 and a Kenevo Expert 2022 sizes L and S4 respectively. Both are burly, solid and confidence instilling. However, in the context of my limited skills, the Kenevo feels incredibly balanced and supple. I don't know if it's the extra 20mm or 10mm travel (160/170...

I have only tried the SyncDrive motors on my 2021 Stance E+ and the 2022 Reign E+ and I've never had a problem or felt like I needed more power. Both bikes are washed regularly at the auto station's car wash by the way. I like how "precise" the motor feels on slow, narrow technical climbs in all...

I'm ~96Kg (equipped) and I'm still tuning the 38 and X2 on my E+1, but so far with the following settings I can use almost all the travel in the most extreme drops I'm willing to take while still having a plush ride on small chatter (cobblestone, small roots, etc.). Also please bear in mind that...

Nice looking wheels, way to make the yellow Maxxis logo fit in the E+1 colors, IMO! I ride an E+1 as well and I wasn't thrilled with the performance of the FOX 38 and X2 - felt way too harsh and jumpy for what I was expecting. I did read about excess grease and stuff and not having any tools...

Newbie here, may I ask which tires, disc brake rotors and which pedals did you install? My brakes (also XT in the E+1) are often noisy when wet or after heating a bit - way noisier than the ones on the Stance E+ (same SLX 203mm rotor, but MT420 4 piston calipers, never really made any noise in...

No problem, glad to help! As an addendum, just 3 more points: Well, I just learned that EWS-E has the Power Stages, so it makes sense that this bike feels capable on steep technical climbs! The EnergyPak Plus comes with a strap to keep the cable close to the frame, but there really isn't...
