    Kenevo SL Kenevo SL loud motor?

    Does not sound normal. Should be the same as the Levo SL.

    Shop talk - 2021 Commencal

    e*thirteen makes one but I could not find a link to purchase one that’s in stock anywhere. When your chainring wears out I guess just buy a new bike. Lol

    Kenevo Gen1 How long do you wait for warranty motor repair in USA - CA ?

    When my friend’s bike started doing that he got a video and it was in perfect tune with the intro to Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song, which he overlaid onto it. It was hilarious, I wish I had it saved.

    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    I’d recommend keeping all stem sizes for future use if you’re someone who likes to tinker with setup. I say this from experience, as in the past I’ve sold a one-up bash guard and various stems I wasn’t using. But then when I got a different bike, I went and re-bought exactly what I just sold.

    My Meta Leaning on Stuff

    Random question, are ebikes widely accepted in the Sea to Sky region of BC yet? There are definitely still plenty of haters down here (SF Bay Area and Santa Cruz, CA), but considering some rides I go on I see more ebikes than normal bikes, I think they are here to stay and people are just...

    My Meta Leaning on Stuff

    Northern California, around the Lake Tahoe area. Lots of granite slabs.

    My Meta Leaning on Stuff

    I also went from a Decoy to a Meta and have been happy with that decision. Currently playing with the idea of getting a Kenevo SL as my next bike.

    My goal is to usually hide as much manufacture branding as possible, not add more of it. If you are going to add text decals, at least make it something unique and personal to you.

    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    Unless you are over 200lbs and not in great shape. Then I would say it will be nearly as difficult to ride uphill as a normal bike when in eco mode, and you’ll drain the battery super quick when in Turbo.

    Also the bling factor of having an aftermarket link.

    Agreed. Highly considering selling my Enduro + Commencal to get one as my only bike. I don’t like having more than one bike at once anyways.

    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    Got to ride my friends Kenevo today. Felt more similar to my Enduro than it did my ebike. Really fun bike that I could probably get used to. Not sold on the low power/range yet though. I like having 2 full sized batteries for my EP8 Commencal and can get 8k’ (2440m) elevation gain without even...

    Internal cable routing

    I actually swapped my rear brake without dropping the motor. (Only because I didn’t have the chain ring tool). Otherwise just remove, or swing down the motor, should only take an extra few minutes and will make the cable routing way less of a headache.

    It is my favorite descending bike I’ve ridden. In a perfect world I’d own an enduro, Kenevo SL, and new Levo. (I promise I’m not a specialized fan boy). But unfortunately that would require a selling off half my organs and extremities.

    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    Also depends on where you live. Some rides I go on 75% of the mountain bikers I see are on ebikes here in Northern California. Also there are more and more bike shops opening up that sell ONLY ebikes. Does that mean normal bikes are dead? No. But at some point I would not be surprised if ebikes...

    Still debating what I want to do with it, it’s basically brand new but just sits in the shred collecting dust sadly.

    Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

    Speak for yourself. With every new ebike that comes out I see less and less reason for owning high end regular bikes as well. Right now my main hesitation for not selling my enduro is travel by plane and certain races without an ebike class. As far as day to day riding goes, my ebike is just...

    As someone who has an enduro, I can guarantee this Kenevo climbs faster with less energy, which at least for me would make the downhills more fun, even if it’s not actually “better”.

    Loving this beast, '21 Meta Power 29 out here in NJ, USA!

    All Commencal bikes are heavy, with or without a motor. But I’m still more than happy with mine after 6 months of use.
