2022 Specialized Kenevo

[JohnL]

Purchased an Ex-Hire Kenevo from Alpine Bikes at Glentress at the end of December and thoroughly enjoying it.

Standard other than the bike came with a Hope Fortus 30 Rear wheel, and I’ve fitted an AXS Reverb Dropper, and GX AXS Rear Derailleur. Added a front MudHugger and have a SicoMTB rear to go on.

Cool, nice looking bike. Think about some battery cover protection and some shorter cranks.

Thanks! Do you mean protection for the battery door itself? I was under the impression that the external part of the battery had a protector built in? So adding a protector would just be protecting the protector?

I’m definitely thinking about shorter cranks to hopefully reduce the number of pedal strikes. Probably Hope items. Any recommendations?

I personally think that’s the best full fat ebike specialized has in its line up. I’ve run mine mullet and currently full 29”. I like both setup.

Thanks, good to know. Glad to hear I’ve made a good choice.

That’s a $70 dollar chunk of plastic that will explode on the first hard rock crossing. I got this…

Oh, and for the cranks, you don’t have to dump big cash on hope…. These work

I like full 29 best and have no pedal strikes anymore.
Anyone know where I can get a 700w battery in US for a deal. Only fault on my Kenevo. Thx
