2020 ?
Pretty in-depth with asking the same questions twiceOne of the most in depth reviews so far ....don't like talk or unreliable motors though.

Now that the 2020 Kenevo has been released, I can’t help but feel relieved. The bike is a more of an evolution rather than a revolution, so I’m happy to stick with my older Kenevo for e-biking. I’m glad I spent my money on other things.
Finally a bike long enough for Paul Aston... shame he quit.
I don't know how you manual or lift the front wheel over obstacles with 24kg and 454mm chainstays?
How was the Levo with mullet wheels? I wonder if mullet and a 160 Lyrik might be a good combo and achieve a slacker HA?I rode 3 different levo’s (Fork lengths/ mullet) and two sizes of 2020 Kenevo Expert today at the Forest of Dean, UK (Mud/slop).
I was totally shocked as I thought I would hate a 29’er and was set on a Kenevo.
The Levo was everyone’s favourite by far. It was Lighter, more nimble and fun. Plenty of travel. The Kenevo was good but just felt heavy, burly and dulled in comparison. A great capable bike but too much bike unless you are riding full on DH tracks in the Alps.
I will now be getting the Levo comp with Lyrik and changing the air spring to get 160mm.

I've mulleted my bike and love it. Overforked it to raise BB, but the BB is lower overall (since it's an eeeb, you can just get shorter cranks). Super stable and slack. Even though you very quickly learn not to buzz your ass on a 29" wheel so you no longer view it as a constraint on your riding, it's so liberating to have the space back again! No downsides as the bike still maintains that 29er carving feeling. Had to drop rear rotor to 180mm as rear brake felt too powerful and just slid the saddle forward on the rails.it was great. I have just ordered a levo and will change the air spring to 160mm. Will see how it goes with the 29er rear but if my ass gets buzzed will swap out the rear for a 27.5 no hesitation
I was thinking that same thing. Don't get me wrong, the Kenevo looks dope too, but that Range is almost exactly what I want. I feel like it's not getting all that much press either. Can't wait to see some reviews on it.Anyone else look at the Norco Range and think the numbers just look a all around better? Shorter chain stays, you can achieve the same reaches/wheel bases outside of the s5, and much better stand-over height. Not to mention the price point is much better with better components. Yeah the BB is a 1cm higher and the travel is a cm less, and you don't get the triple clamp, but 12 speed gx, better brakes, and better wheels/tires are nothing to scoff at. Am I out on a limb on this? It seems like the Norco should be getting much more hype than it is, no? Am I missing something?
A few people with suspected faulty crank sensors in the motor - or something like that, have reported theirs turning on when turning the cranks.. so maybe yours has something like this.Ps when it wouldn’t turn on I would roll it backwards and it would fire up, (noticed it after washing and bouncing on the back wheel) is that normal ?
Ok , so would that effect the other issues , new motor next week and I’ll know ?A few people with suspected faulty crank sensors in the motor - or something like that, have reported theirs turning on when turning the cranks.. so maybe yours has something like this.
Guys i must eat my previous words.... the 2020 Kenevo does It all way better than the Gen 1....
