I think a lot of people are still riding around on a fox 38 without doing a air spring service. Most of what comes out of the Fox factory is plugged up full of grease so your suspension is not gonna be very good. After I did my own air spring service it transformed that fork, it’s now the best...
I finally purchased the cascade link and have had a couple of rides on it now. Three things became apparent on these rides. Firstly, more traction. The backend sticks to the ground better than the regular linkage. This may be due to the new kinematics or that I have one less volume reducer...
Watch this video at the three minute mark and you will see the spacers that I’m referring to that push into the linkage. One of mine was not pushed all the way in. When I installed the cascade linkage the spacers pushed all the way in. This was the only thing that I’ve done that has stopped the...
Anytime. Seriously though get that shock repaired. The problem with an aerated shock is that it will blow through its travel much easier and possibly damage internal parts of your shock.
If your shock is aerated you need to fix it ASAP. Don’t wait as you could damage something inside. I took mine into the local bike shop and it was covered by Fox warranty, so please don’t wait. As far as the fork it should be done as well you’ll have much better performance out of it once the...
On my ride yesterday the specialized ride app showed average motor power of 330 W. This was in turbo mode for an hour and a half ride with two limbs of approximately 250 meters each up a dirt road. I also had shuttle mode at 100% to assist with the road climbs.
Yeah I noticed the round up as well, 17mm is where I’ve set mine. Man it feels so good now 😀 with the Cascade link. I don’t know about you but tuning the suspension took a considerable amount of time, but was worth it. Have you performed a service on the air spring yet? Mine and my brothers...
I think you’re right, the cascade link with no spacers sounds like it might be perfect for you. That should provide an even more supple ride with the added progression and 10 mm of extra travel as well to protect against bottom outs. That was odd when you were mentioning the spacers not...
What sag are you running? I’m not much heavier and needed 220 psi with three spacers to get 30% sag with the original linkage. If I went down to one spacer I would’ve needed at least 230 psi for 30% sag. It seems like at 170 lbs and only one spacer you would need much more than 215 psi to...
My rattle is gone 👍🏻🎉. I recently installed a cascade link on the bike. During the process when I took the original linkage off I noticed the plastic spacers that snap into the bearings, that one of them was sitting out a little bit. With the new link arms I ensured that the spacers were pushed...

Thanks for the clarification Rob. I think the Kenevo will undergo an update soon, until then I believe the Levo beats out the Kenevo. Again, if a downhill bike is the Intention then there are better choices out there.
The Levo‘s HTA is adjustable down to 63 degrees, the Kenevo is not adjustable and remains at a much steeper 64.5 degrees. With the Cascade Link and the slacker geo, the Levo is more enduro oriented than the Kenevo imo. I’ve ridden the Kenevo and prefer my Levo. The geo-adjust is one of the...
The new Levo is slacker than the Kenevo, corners better , has a much larger battery for longer rides, mullet wheel set and is a much better all around bike. if the intent is just enduro or down hill riding then yes buy something else, and it wouldn’t be a Kenevo for that, but if you want a bike...
I have my X2 setup with three volume reducers and the bike can certainly run at pace on rough trails. I get bottom outs on bigger drops (8 feet or more depending on the landing) but other than that it’s good for most riding. I have my SAG set at 30% front and back. I put the cascade link on for...
