I have the same bike with a 34.9 x 150 Reverb AXS and that only just fits. The easiest of all installations, long maintenance intervals & a solid feelAlso, does anyone know the post length of the Command Wu that comes on the Medium 2019 Kenevo? He is of course hoping that the 150mm Brand X fits flush into the frame.
Thanks for the info. It seems the Brand X is 40mm longer than the AXS, so it might protrude a bit, which would make it a nogo. The AXS looks great but the price puts it out of reach.I have the same bike with a 34.9 x 150 Reverb AXS and that only just fits.

Question with those out there on the 1st gen 2018/2019 Kenevo. My Dad is looking to upgrade his dropper post from the strange tilty stock thing to a 150mm Brand X (he’s on a medium frame).
Anybody done this?
The brand x only comes in 31.6mm. From looking online it seems that the Kenevo is 34.9. Is he fine to run a dropper with a shim?
How easy is the installation of droppers on this model Kenevo. Can all internal cabling be accessed without dropping the motor?
Hi Tbar. How long has he used it ? First thing I thought when riding my Kenevo, was the odd feeling from the dropper, and I thought it was hopeless and wanted to change it as soon as possible.
but - I got used to it, and now I will not live without it - because it is SO damn fast getting both down, but especially up again, and this is very good and helpfull riding technical things, and short drops and uphill immediately after. just my thoughts on it
best regards

Looks like the top of the rear shock eyeletO-ring question.
hi guys - rookie-mistake no. 1 :-( , took shock, rear swing-arm and every moving parts apart for new bearings and re-grease for the season. this was 4 weeks ago - and now with nice weather I assembled today, and now have this one leftover, rubber-sealing/oring 14mm inside 19 mm outside, and cant seem to see where it fit ? WHY cant we have exploded views like when you have your manual for a motorcycle/motocross-bike ? anyone know if its possible to get these exploded views - and have an idea where i have missed this O-ring
thx
Allan

That's what you said 6 months ago when someone else did the same thing... I was tempted to sound knowledgeable and say the same and steal the credit ?Looks like the top of the rear shock eyelet
Haha did I? I barely remember what I said yesterday! You can take credit for my wisdom, saves me from typing it.That's what you said 6 months ago when someone else did the same thing... I was tempted to sound knowledgeable and say the same and steal the credit ?
Mr Evo Kenevo is that a fresh one? What happened?? I think you need some bedding in - at least for maybe a week maybe another to give your bones a chance to magically heal like all the others. I know - that's more painful than the actual pain. Guéris pronto.And on other news .. Fractured front ribs, hurts like a pig to breath sometimes, but you can ride the bike and just not be too stupid .. Fractured back ribs, doesn't hurt too much to breath but hurts like an absolute b1tch to ride - as when you pull, it's agony ! MERD ! Still .. bedding in was mainly pushing .. not pulling !
Surprising definitely. Embarrassing definitely not though losing a horse altercation is scientifically proven to be the most painful way to increase your cool factor.Yes, Last week. Embarrassingly, it wasn't bike caused ! Overly excited locked down horse did a bit of Bruce Lee on me and I lost !
I didn't believe this so measured mine. They are 200mm. You have measured the narrower part of the diss which is indeed 198mm.The Original SRAM centerlines measure in at 198, not 200. The Shimano's measure in at 203.
It's only the 2.1 motor bikes which have the wheel size locked down. So you should be fine.I have a 2018 and it's been a long time since I've been on here. I stayed on an old firmware because it allowed me to change wheel diameter (I think that's what it was) so I didn't run into the "high speed" limiter. The newer firmware no one had figured out how to get around the limit. Is this still the case? I ride on the road a decent amount and the stock speed limit was quite irritating.
It'll be much more than ok, promise!it might be ok after riding it a few times ?
It is a lot of bike and it also took me a good 3 to 4 rides to get used to the weight. Now in comparison to my current bike it feels very nimble and light.View attachment 28621 First ride on my new 2019 Kenevo.
Wet, muddy and slippery, but very fun!
Motor feels very powerful and plenty for me, and very quiet , i couldn’t hear it.
On these tecky trails the bike felt a bit big and heavy, so took much more effort to do endo and manuals. But after a few more rides that will probably become second nature again.
Sometimes i felt the bike wanting to get away from me, so I felt i lost control of it.
So I’m going to play around in the app and tweak the power output for when i ride these types of trails. Then again, it might be ok after riding it a few times ?
I have had warranty replacements 2x times on that harness. Not that exact failure, but at the charge port. The sockets would deform and lose connectivity. Overall, bad design IMO not meant for the number of cycles we put them through.Bike would not engage motor today battery was fine on blevo app but could not find the motor, decided to remove crank and case to check wires inside I noticed the power cable into the motor was loose, pulled the tab down to pull the plug out and was left with a broken plug this it's corroded View attachment 28650 anyone else come across this

So i ordered the 203mm magura rotors and they sent the 220's. i was going to send them back and the i thought why not just get adapters. So i see this adapter is for the front so do you know which adapter i need for the rear? I have the magura mt7 brakes.A couple of other threads on 220mm's for anyone reading this and curious about adapters and different fork/caliper compatibility ..
Bigger is better!!! - EMTB Forums
SRAM 220mm Rotor - EMTB Forums
Hope do the 225's, but it's difficult finding a correct adapter.
For the 180 fork to a 220 rotor, magura also do an adapter, the QM 45, which is only about €8 compared to about €20 for the avid 40mm adapter . Not that you probably care when you're possibly spending a fortune on brakes, but it's the principle !

I believe the same adapter will work for the front or the rear. The standard 180-200 sram mounts are the same front and back and the 180-203 shimano mounts are the same front and back, it just gives +40mm as opposed to +20 or +23So i ordered the 203mm magura rotors and they sent the 220's. i was going to send them back and the i thought why not just get adapters.

I agree My motor would not engage the other day. I thought it was connection from remote, since remote didn’t do anything, so cleaned up that connection. Didn‘t help. Then tried to reset the battery by pressing and holding on button for 30 secs. It worked after this but I think it was the connection, which was perfectly dry and clean, but just wasn‘t connecting properly. Bosch system so much better - battery just clicks in - no need for a connector that can get dirty, wet or distort.I have had warranty replacements 2x times on that harness.

Good news is any reputable spesh dealer will warranty it for you
Greetings fellow Kenovillians,
I’ve recently ordered a 2019 Expert in black online from a Northern California bike shop chain. The purchase was at the top of my budget but the sale was ridiculous and I couldn’t pass. I’m beyond excited to take delivery and I’m learning a wealth of knowledge on the forum in the meantime. Can’t wait to get on it and burn Some trails. Cheers! -Damon
