On the 9th of September they present in Spain, according to what they tell me in my shop, the kenevo 2020 ... in 5 days we will leave doubts. But they confirm that there are 3 models, the comp, the expert and one with double deck ... and the frame is NEW.

From what Ive seen there is no Carbon Comp just the alloy comp then it jumps to the Carbon Expert

The recommend retail price in the UK on the alloy comp is £5500!!!

Also none of the info Ive read so far states if the 2020 models come with a flip chip to alter the geometry if you run 27.5 wheels like the 2019 model did

Waiting to see what the 2020 Kenevo is like before deciding on a 2020 Levo expert, 2020 Kenevo or sticking with my 2018 Kenevo

Ordering the new Comp. $75 more than the 2019 and has a 700w/h battery? Done. Pity about the paint color options.

2020 Comp is a no brainier with the 700 battery.

I ordered black XL, what color did you decide on?

Teal L. Can't wait.

Great choice in both the Comp and the color (assuming you mean the Storm Grey which is really a teal blue). I saw the actual color in real life on a Stumpy at my LBS, and if I had gotten a Comp that is probably the color I would have gotten. I ended up getting an Expert, but as John knows I spent a long time debating between the Comp and the Expert. The Comp is such a great combination of things with great specs and a great price.

Enjoy your new ride!!

L.Ron Specialized 'higher prices, so we replace a few bits costs fuck all in the scheme of things '
Accountant 'well there are a few complaints about prices '
L.Ron Specialized 'you said that last year and I put up the price, sold more than ever
Accountant 'yes but '
L.Ron Specialized 'FFS I spent a shit load of years building this cult and a few people are unhappy? A cult is not a fucking democracy as long as the fuckers buy it what is the problem? '
Accountant 'yes but the forums? '
L.Ron Specialized 'did you ever hear the Mexicans say, everyone loves our coke maybe we should lower the price so it's available to the masses. No. '
Accountant 'but '
L.Ron Specialized 'get the fuck out of here and make sure you have that motor shit sorted next time '

Sometime earlier in the year

Marketing 'well the 2020 EMBikes are good to go, when and where shall we launch'
L.Ron Specialized 'what are you talking about, in 2020 I suppose'
Marketing 'Well actually normally bikes are launched in September?
L.Ron Specialized 'well fuck me I am still learning, so if they are good to go release them in September'
Marketing 'ok but where, maybe we should get the jump on everybody and do it in August in Verbier, biggest EMTB festival in the world'
L.Ron 'that's Switzerland right? Bloody expensive and they don't even make cheddar cheese, WTF do they know about EMTBs?'
Marketing 'actually they are designed and developed there'
L.Ron Specialized 'mmm, nah bit early'
Marketing 'okay, what about Eurobike 5th September?'
L.Ron Specialized 'is that like Eurovision? Funny as fuck but the singing is shit'
Marketing 'actually it is one of the biggest bike shows in the world'
L.Ron Specialized 'nah, we will get lost in the croud and everyone will want to go just for a free flight and holiday, it'll cost me a fortune'
Marketing 'actually most will be from Switzerland so they can drive, we could put them in a minibus and make them camp out ;-)'
L.Ron Specialized 'I like where you are going with this but if it rained I would never hear the fucking end of it, rains all the time there'
Marketing 'you're thinking of the UK'
L.Ron Specialized 'whatever, maybe just send em! Send em - getit? Send em in September has a ring about it, post them in August if the joints too far away, start with Chile and New Zealand, their post is shit so might take a bit longer'
Marketing 'so we don't launch we just 'send em in September?''
L.Ron Specialized 'yea, keep them guessing, like 'how long will my motor last?' as long as people are talking about em, it's all good'
Marketing 'but the guys in Switzerland have been working on the Kenevo for 6 years, we should have a party or something?'
L.Ron Specialized '6 fucking years? with what that has cost me I can't afford a party'
Marketing 'okay we launch in September or October' walks away face palming....

Why did you spend the extra 1500$ over the base model? Is it the looks, the battery or the suspension?

I’m still hesitating between the two as it feels like the base became quite robust in this new 2020 itaration.

What size frame is that? The top tube looks much different then on the website for ‘19 and ‘20. Love the color!
Click to expand...
You are right actually it does look different, I hadn't even noticed until now.
The black frame is much darker in real life, than it looks on the website aswell,
pretty much a true Mat Black, and the contrast between the frame and the text on the down tube, is much smaller too.
It's an XL frame

can you tell me the weight of the bike? can you tell me if the fork has the writing for the sag at 170 mm on the left? thank you
Click to expand...
Sorry I dont have a scale right now, but I will try and find one later today if I can.
The fork stanchion writing for the sag is 150 & 160mm.
As far as I have heard, I don't think Specialized will warranty the frame if you go above a 160mm Fork. (Not 100% sure on this I could be wrong!)

Edit: rsilvers posted the weight of his at 51.5 lbs (23.36 kg) with tubes, pedals and 700wh.
Judging from the frame it looks like a Medium, so abit more than that for my XL with Stamp 2 Large pedals and tubeless.
