Good day all!
Anyone installed a Rockshox Reverb Stealth on the 2nd gen Kenevo? I am wondering if the cable loop within the frame will cause any problems to installation/bleeding etc. The wireless option is crazy expensive...

Good day all!
My feedback/update/recommendations regarding suspension on my Kenevo 2020 Comp. If anyone is interested, go ahead and read below:
As I have posted earlier in this thread, I have upgraded the Marzocchi Bomber CR rear shock to a Fox Float X2 2020, size 230x62.5, custom tuned by...
Good day all!
In case any one is interested, I fitted a Wolftooth B-Rad bottle shift on the bike in order to install properly a OneUp pump and multitool. The setup is great and it even fits a bigger bottle. I did not use the SWAT bottle cage though, there was no need. The cranks clear nicely on...
Good day all!
An update from my side after a couple more months riding the Kenevo 2020. Owning it since November 2019.
End of April 2020 the motor started to get noisy, to my ears, bearings were toast... Beginning of May 2020, the motor died.
A new motor was installed on the bike under...
Hi all!
Hope everyone is safe and healthy.
This is an update on my setup in case anyone is interested how the project is coming along.
I recently purchased a 2020 Fox Float X2 for my Kenevo. I've been riding it for a couple of days and I have been impressed. A few notes:
1. The shock was...
Good day.
Fox repaired the shock under warranty within a couple of days. Specialized just sent the broken damper to Fox.
Obviously. Lets see how these items are handling different weather conditions in different parts of the world, how will Specialized handle damaged parts out of warranty...
Good day all.
This is an update on my 2020 Kenevo Comp.

Good day!
Excellent info! Thank you so much for taking the time to advise in such detail!
Please report after testing the bike!
The poppy feeling is also something I am missing from the coil shock. The bike is just very heavy, although it tracks the ground perfectly and keeps the line like no...
Good day.
You must be the first one I know of to install a Float X2 on the 2020 Kenevo. I was waiting for someone to try this, I was not sure there was enough room for this shock due to the side arm.
A few questions if you don’t mind:
1. Have you checked clearances? Is it really close?
2. Did...
I also seem have the same problem. During last Sunday's ride, I heard creaking, I am sure it was coming from the fork's CSU. I think the steerer got loose. Tried to tighten the headset, it was not loose though. The bike is at the dealer since Monday morning for another job (new drivetrain...
Good day!
Really? What a disappointment... I used a DVO Garnet this year that was almost perfect. Build quality was great, it was very sturdy, no play, no weird noises, no extension when pulled. The two problems were the crappy controller that I replaced with a proper one from BikeYoke as well...
Good day!
More than 300km on my S3 Kenevo 2020 Comp now, a first review as follows:
About the rider:
80kg, 173cm height, 36 year old, father of a toddler and a newborn, working approx. 40 to 50 hours per week, at least a couple of business trips abroad during the month, riding mostly on the...
No, FOX did not provide any details regarding what was wrong with the shock. They repaired it under warranty and sent it back. What I can tell you is that when we removed the shock from the bike, the eyelet was loose from the shaft. This is where the shock lost its oil. The shock after the...
Good day.
It seems that all Bomber CR shocks coming on Kenevo Comps will have a breakdown, sooner or later. Mine is working just fine after the repairs. Lets see how long will it last.
