Modified Kenevo Alternatives in 24/25

[CJG]

Hi All, trying to weigh up the pros and cons of a second hand modified Kenevo Expert Vs. Crestline, Nicolai MGU etc. Weight and motor tech aside, are the alternatives that much better in terms of pure DH performance? Is there anything else that should be on my radar with Gen5 motors around the corner? (Pole was looking good until they went under, I have heard rumours that Deviate and Atherton are wotking on something). Thanks!

If something serious, like the frame, breaks tomorrow on my 2020 kenevo, ill go straight out and buy another, either new if available or used.
There is nothing else on the market i would want, certainly not at that price point.
I did order a pole but luckily got my money back before they folded, good job as i was getting buyers regret.
The nicolai looks nice, but the headtube is too long for a fox40, which is my preferred fork.
The crestlines? well they are silly money in comparison.
Quite remarkable for a bike released nearly 5 years ago.

For the price of a crestline you could buy a clean used kenevo comp , send it to BM for a service for peace of mind then think of all the goodies you can put on it !

Kenevo Expert is so versatile and capable. I ride with a couple of buddies that have bullits and they’re always running out of battery.
