Hey Christian, thanks for your input. The washers are where they are supposed to be. I might take some more pictures, but I guess it's hard to really pinpoint the issue, since the angles in a picture of the whole swingarm don't really show much of the issue. I've taken apart a lot of Horst...

Hey Guys. So now that I've got time for it, I am taking apart my Kenevo and replacing almost everything like wheels, brakes, forks etc.. In order to get new brake hoses in I removed the motor. To remove the motor I needed to disassemble the rear triangle to be able to swing it up and gain access...

So it took me a while to decide, but it is my pleasure to let you guys know that I've ordered a black Kenevo Expert S4 :) I actually did another Testride again (this time just on tarmac close to the bikeshop) and while I really enjoyed the better agility on the S3, it just feels like I am too...

Hey Nikolaos, there is a brand in Germany named BikeYoke which is specialized (pun intended) on suspension yokes to adapt Specialized bikes to regular damper sizes. There is no yoke for the 2020 Kenevo yet but I'm sure there will be at some point. They also manufacture awesome droppers matching...

Yeah the thing is that I have the feeling I might really benefit from a longer bike on the long run. When I was riding the S4 it felt strangely almost too long without being too long, so it might merely be my head telling me so since I am not used to it. Sometimes when on steeper terrain on the...

Yeah you might be right, but only because it's the right size for you, it doesn't mean it also is for me. It might be, but since when I was buying my first EMTB, the sizing table and a lot of people told me to get a size large Mondraker Crafty and I hated it in the long run, I am just really...

So, I had my testride today and it is going to be a Kenevo for sure. The only thing I am still struggling with is the sizing. I did only try the S3 on the trail, since there where no other demos available. It never felt too small actually and the bike felt plenty agile when I wanted it too...

Thanks Jay, now you brought me much closer to the question: "Sage green or black?" ;) I guess our body proportions seem to be quite alike when it comes to height and weight. Nice to hear that there are also some people going for S3 with that height. I am really not the guy who lets himself talk...

@AZCN Interesting to hear another side of the story, but as I mentioned those would all have been things I would've just fixed myself, even though those things shouldn't happen on a new bike! I'd rather be worried about issues with the electronics that I can't fix by myself. The Issue with the...

Thanks guys for all your input so far, I really appreciate it. If I think about it, the Decoy just is the better specced bike. With the Fox 36 Grip2 it surely has the better Suspension, it is lighter (altough not considering how much the 700Wh battery would add) the drivetrain is better, the...

Thanks Rob, that helps a little bit. The weight and muscling around the bike was actually never a problem with my Crafty since I'm around 90kg myself, the extreme length just made it just quite unwieldy. But the Kenevo is often described as quite nimble for it's length whereas such things...

Nope they have Shimano motors which generally is not a bad thing, but the battery just has 500Wh. @Zimmerframe Yeah I know, I would've guessed the same since he really likes those Specialized bikes and rides them himself. Also it all sounds a little bit good to be true, almost like reading a...

Yeah I was thinking about the Commencal Meta Power SX as well, but it still just has a 500Wh battery without the possibility of an upgrade. Same reason why the Propain Ekano is out of consideration. I know the Decoy has a Mullet setup, but I guess the size of the back tyre is much more important...

No I actually never considered the Levo since I want a more gravity focused EMTB. Also the design of the Levo isn't really my cup of tea and I hate 29ers ;) Thanks for the link, but I have already read through the whole Kenevo thread and couldn't really find a comparison from anyone who has...

Hi I am fairly new to this forum, so I might as well start off with a short introduction: My name is Martin, I am 30 years old and live in Stuttgart Germany. After almost ten years of abstinence from two wheels (BMX and Motocross), I started mountainbiking by the end of the last year with a...
