Ok .. so Al's photo from yesterday shows that the new Kenevo comes with a "Cloaking Field" - so no one knows you're actually on an e-bike - it also means you can wear Lycra and not provoke a discussion.

The other interesting thing about this picture is that you can see it's not leaning on ANYTHING ! Yes, the 2020 Kenevo has "Levitation" inbuilt !

This presents one problem - I need to change the thread title to "My 2020 Kenevo NOT leaning on STUFF" - because it's entirely self supporting.

Specialized recommend not leaving it in "self supporting" mode when you go for lunch if you have less than 20% battery.

It also presents a solution to anyones concerns over the 170mm rear suspension travel. With inbuilt Levitation you have a mix of conventional suspension AND Gravity Repulsion - Expert Model only (activated and de-activated with the "Specialised/Turbo" button on the controller).

My 2020 Kenevo leaning on itself .. or all the bits you're allowed to see ...

Please note, the tyres were changed before this full on 2020 wheel rolling session through the woods.

Thank you! The colour seems to look bronze/brown in some light conditions, and more of a gun metal in others
Spesh do seem to do a great job on the paint front !

Looking at your front shock o-ring, your still getting a feel and haven't abused it yet :) So I won't ask how it is .... actually, I will .... How is it ?????

Love that bike & colour @Pablo - enjoy! Are your brake cables deliberately routed outside the fork and seat-stay though? That's kind of unusual.

tbh honest! It feels alien at the mo, I only had a quick blast out on it today, it’s first ebike I’ve ridden, coming from a 26” wheel as well the whole thing feels much bigger & heavier it’s gonna take me a lot of getting used to! but can’t wait to get back out on it

@Pablo bike looks great. I have just finished putting a pair of Maxxis Shorty's on my 2020 Expert ready for it's maiden voyage. Literally, it's very wet here!:poop:

What is the bashguard on yours? I have an Amygos one on my 2018 Kenevo but they are doing one for the 2020 yet so I need to find an alternative.

I’m not sure what bash guard it is I got it from Berkshire cycles, and I’ve sticker bombed it and put a laminate over it!
Enjoy yr kenevo, looking forward to seeing some pic of it ??

@Pablo must be one of Berkshire Cycles bash guards then. It was the sticker bombing that confused me. Easily done these days!:LOL:

Once I get out on the trail I'll get a pic and post it up on here.

Love me an Alpine ride. Something so surreal about riding so high up!

The Kenevo is just the perfect mountain weapon!
