Kenevo Gen1 2020 Kenevo Fox Float X2 (2021)

[Wic_ed1]

Hi,

I spotted a post a week or so ago somewhere showing where the frame needed filing to fit the 2021 Float X2 to a Kenevo, I can't for the life of me find it again.

I'm hoping someone who has done the mod is able to post a pic.

Thanks in advance!

I have just fitted one to a 2020 Kenevo. Checked the clearance have 2-3mm at the tightest point without any modifications.

That’s good to hear, I’m looking forward to mine turning up. Thanks ?

[Stormhard]

I would like to know if a '21 X2 would fit an S5 Kenevo ?.

Hi, just letting you all know the 2021 X2 fits on my S4 without any modification to the frame.

Thanks, 230x65 and had it restroked to 230x62.5 using a reducer. My LBS sorted it out for me

i've mounted a Fox X2 on my Kenevo 2020 and it touches slightly the frame. I don't know why this is happening, it seems the frame are not all equal because i've two friends who have the same setup: Kenevo S3 size + X2 2020 and they don't have any issues.

The shock is 230x65, and i've bought a reducer to transform it to 230x62.5, hope this will solve this issue.

As you can see in both images, there're two point where it interferes. My concern where the frame touch the shock cage, it is less than a milimeter. (The other point is the bolt that supports all cables but it wasn't so tighten so it is solved).

Hi, some people do experience this. In some cases it’s so marginal a slight file on the frame will sort it out

It’s posted on the Kenevo Owners thread but probably better to use this thread regarding X2 fitment

my S4 cleared with a 62.5 stroke
It was so close that I filed it anyways
Wouldn’t want to damage an expensive shock or frame

my friends s3 had rub at bottom out with a 65 stroke

Is it possible to insert 1 mm spacer to the top mount? So that the shock move a little bit away from the frame

Yes i can be done
But I went for the option of keeping the shock centered and straight

What do i need for a change? Only the x2? Can i put it in with the 230x65? New screws or anything? I am currently running on flipchip high. Does it make differences from the geometry with 230x65 instead of 62,5? Thanks

I solved with 1 mm spacer and now works fine! Thanks for your comment!

Only the X2. A few Kenevos touches slightly the frame so be aware in case you have the same issue i had. I solved it with a 1mm or less spacer.

If you use the 230x65 it will transform the rear suspension to aprox. 187 mm instead of 180mm that is why i put a 2.5mm reducer. I recommed using the flipchip in low position and use the reducer to maintain the original bike geometry.

I have 2 friend who uses 230x65 and they love that setup.

ok perfect thank you, and your friends are driving the flipchip with the 230x65 setup in low position?

Yes all of them are riding in low position!

Is this the reducer that you installed?

FOX Travel Spacers - Float X2 Metric, 2.5mm, volume and travel

Wonder why the FOX Travel Spacers is a mountain biker favorite in the Rear Shock Part collection? Part #233-00-382. Travel Spacers for rear shock tuning and adjustments. 2.5mm

There is no point in add a spacer. Just setup the shock to only use 62.5 mm of travel and in an extreme case you now have a buffer instead of bottoming out and shock loading the frame and linkages.

Where did you fit the 1mm spacer? I cant see how it would fit between the frame and shock bushing.
