Other Levo SL or Kenevo SL

[Ricardo75]

Question probably best aimed at those that have owned both bikes;

Which is best at what the other is intended for?!

To be more specific, I currently ride a non-e trail/all mountain bike (YT Jeffsy) mostly on local flow trails with limited elevation, along with occasional trips to Swinley trail centre and Surrey Hills. So would the KSL be better on flow trails than the LSL would be at the trail centre or the other way round?

I’ve had both and both modified from stock. The Levo SL is a great all rounder bike with the rights mods.
The Kenevo SL is a crusher but is a little longer, heavier (1/2kgs) and less playful. To be honest there isn’t much in it but based of what you ride I’d go a modified Levo SL. Up the front travel, cascade the rear end and your good to go.
Top bike!
The KSL is really better suited gravity/DH

It’s an ebike. You’re not competing for .3 seconds. If you go longer travel pedal bob doesn’t matter, doesn’t even matter on a normal mtb. I would go bigger and plusher because it’s better to have and not need than to need and not have.

Personally I agree with this and what I went with but I do mainly ride gravity trails.
Still a properly set up Levo SL is more fun on less intense trails imho. That shorter wheelbase and slightly lighter weight makes a subtle difference. If I had the money I would have kept the Levo SL for a lighter build.

An Auzzie and a German walk into a bike store in Woking and say to the guy, "We would like to buy ebikes!" The owner the the bike store says the young men, how much money do you have and what kind of trails do you like to ride? The young men say "lots of money and we like to ride XC, All mountain and Bike Park!". The bike store owner says you boys "what you boys NEED are SWORKS Kenvo SLs as anything else will only cost you more in the long run as you swap out part after part when you find out about the EMTB Forum where people on there love to give advice to people they have never met, places they have never been and have biases towards the bikes they own. So start with the top of the line and never look back!" The boys having seen the logic in the bike store owners statement say "sounds good, we will take two SWORKS Kenevol SLs please!" The bike store owner walks over to his computer and looks to see when his next shipment will be comin in and says "Looks like we can get those to you in January of 2023! (knowing full well that date is hopeful)". The boys look at each other and ask "what do you have in stock?" Bike store owner replies, "Hopes and dreams.... hopes and dreams"
I have both bikes. Both modified from stock with $3000+ upgrades on each bike. Either bike would be fine if you can find one unless you are a huge park rat, then get the Kenevo SL!
