My findings (with all bikes in turbo), I found with the SL (both LSL and KSL) that the range was roughly comparable with 500w FF bike and with the Range extender comparable to a 625/700w ff. All times I had around 5% more than the others (bar the Shimano, that I had at least 15/20% more)
Of...
I personally found the 36 @180/29 to be a bit noodly. 170 really is the limit of these thinner tubed forks.
Brother runs his 29 EXT at 170 and it runs marginally better than my old set up.
Also while your shedding weight an airshock will give you a nice weight saving and also the ability to...
I grabbed a rifle and sat on the bike as suggested and I felt it works fine. Line of site is fine once your sitting on the back tire.
I’m guessing you’re not a shooter.
Something like this could work.
You drop the seat, sit on the back tire while resting your chest on the seat. You then lift the gun out of the left hand mount, pivot the right hand mount and blast away.
Even more so for the KSL as you need to get to the top of big Mountains faster.
Levo’s on the other hand are just trail bikes and had enough power as they were.
Gen 1 Kenevo
You can use an 2018 Enduro 29er Shock extension and custom shock to get 200mm rear
Gen 2 Kenevo
You can use a 236/70 shock with a 4mm offset bush to get 200mm rear.
Gen 1 Levo SL
You can use a gen 2 Kenevo Shock Link with gen 2 Levo Shock extension and custom shock for up to...
The simple solution is to hire out an SL2 and make the swap yourself. It takes 30min tops.
I don’t have a Gen 2 motor in my KSL as the motor I tested didn’t provide any extra support so I cancelled that idea.
That has changed now that I know there are people out there that have actual quoted...
No and I understand your scepticism but I can assure you it is the exact same mounting location. The KSL Gen 2 will be exactly the same bike as it is pretty bang on as it is. The LSL was always going the “Evo” way hence the geo changes. It would make no sense to change the motor mounting points...
