My Specialized Dealer told me that new Turbo Levo 2020 will be officially presented to them on 08 September 2019.
New 2020 Kenevo do you think will be presented the same date ?

anyone with a picture of the new kenevo? From reading the forum the new kenevo has 27.5 rims and new 2.1 motor.

And you are ! I had a beer for you in celebration !
Something which will most probably be really really really good . No matter what. OK, I'm sure someone will find fault in it .. but someone will find fault in everything .. In the meantime he can be excited that he's ordered it and at the same time not give a crap about anything else - because he's ordered it.
Lets face it, three years of development, the last one is still phenomenal, it's unlikely they're going to churn out a turd !
It basically looks like a 2017 levo with more suspension .. in the fog .. from a distance .. at night .. with shades on .. after too many beers .. whilst you're strapped to a shall children's roundabout being rotated by a motorcycle engine.
It will probably look a bit like that the first time one goes past too ..
In the meantime .. I'm really enjoying my 2019 which you made me buy

I spoke with my dealer he gave me an indication that it is a totally new bike and what to expect. I trust him so I gave him a deposit for the top of the range Kenevo.

This is not exactly what you want to know but my 2020 Expert XL with tubeless installed and no pedals is 21.4 kg with 700 watt battery. The only time you notice the weight is when you are not riding it.
The Comp has the big battery too for this year, I think it adds about 0.5 kg to the 500 watt weight.
Levo?

Sorry, yes
Won’t the lower bottom bracket of the evo spec be a pedal strike machine? Reading reviews on the evo sj it’s border line too low for normal trail riding.
it depends what position you have the chip in, in the lowest setting it is very low

Spoke to my lbs (germany) last friday and they haven't seen it yet, but got told, that the 2020 kenevo frame-design will be a completely new, not based on the enduro or stumpy, they made that one especially for the kenevo. There will also be a version with double crown forks!
For a split second i've been close to selling my kenevo and go for the new one, but the money-loss is too big for me since i love my kenevo and I will still love it when the new one is out.
Thanks, I'm guessing it's going to be close. I wish they would just publish the weight, it's no secret that these things are heavy as hell!

so the new Kenevo will look similar to levo\Evo\stumpjumper but longer - it will interesting when I see it. I hope soon. I am holding on the purchase and just riding my regular bike.

If I was in your position I would be taking to a dealer now to find out current stock levels in your size, standard discount in Europe is 15% and run out up to 30%. AUD is not worth shit so a hefty price rise is on the cards so you have an each way bet.
I have one of the new stumpy evo's, the rear suspension design will be horrible for a plush bomber ebike IMO. The Evo is more a scalpel, extremely fast bike (sometimes too fast for me) but extremely exciting at the same time.
I have put a 170mm coil (smashpot) 36 up front and extended stroke to 57mm in the rear for 163mm travel (stock is 140)

Sounds like you bought the wrong bike then.

nice bike
I believe that with the new Kenevo they are trying to make it a much more playful bike, rather that the pure bomber it is now. The journalist who I spoke with said that making it a fun bike to ride was one of the main priorities when updating it. The current one is definitely a point and plough bike.
The new 2020 Levo Comp looks like a great deal. Decent Fork, 700wh battery and good looking;
