Kenevo Gen1 Official 2020 Kenevo Owners Thread

[#lazy]

Any particular reason why? The stuff seems to get decent reviews once you get past the few reported rear shock failures? Just wondering why so many have instantly swapped out the fork and shock on the comp?

If you get a shock that’s fine and tune the forks to suit you then there’s no need to upgrade , they are both very capable !

Don’t know if you guys saw this? Old vs New Kenevo.

About 6 cm more wheelbase

About 6 cm more wheelbase

Interesting that it looks like a steeper seat tube and head tube angle?

 

[Tbar]

Does the wheelbase give anybody problems on the usual Thule towbar mounted bike racks or is it manageable?

I have the Thule XT3 and needed to get the longer straps from Amazon for the S5.

Good to know that even the S5 fits, albeit with extended straps. Cheers, Rob!

Good day.
It seems that all Bomber CR shocks coming on Kenevo Comps will have a breakdown, sooner or later. Mine is working just fine after the repairs. Lets see how long will it last.

It's clearly an issue, more and more people on here are reporting failures. The Australian stock is still being withheld so they can fix them.

Would you have any details on what was actually done on your shock? Expecting mine back this week and I´d love to compare the applied measures.

No, FOX did not provide any details regarding what was wrong with the shock. They repaired it under warranty and sent it back. What I can tell you is that when we removed the shock from the bike, the eyelet was loose from the shaft. This is where the shock lost its oil. The shock after the repair is working perfectly fine.

My rear shock has started to fail ( about 45 miles of riding), its currently knocking on initial stroke, but getting worse and worse. Its off the bike now and getting sent off today.

How long does it take from posting shock to getting it back?

i think that it depents on witch contrey you live in.

I've joined the blown shock club today,Mine went at the end of a very fast descent which gave me a brown trouser moment.
I messaged my LBS and drove straight there and they took the shock out and posted it out with a few others they have there and then. Just hope I have it back by Saturday as i'm supposed to be doing a race on the Kenevo

I took my XL 2018 Kenevo there in the summer and I didn't have any issues fitting it onto the trailers. The place is mega and I can't wait till I take my new S5 comp there

 

[Tbar]

All the shock issues are Marzocchi-related right? The Rockshox Super Deluxe on the Expert is still holding up well?

My S3 just fits bpw trailer if that’s any help !

The shock on my Comp blew after 25km of riding. I was told that it was just a shaft had not been properly torqued at the assembly stage. Since getting it back I have put close to 400km of riding on it and it has been fine. It is actually a very nice shock, I had initially planned to swap it out for something fancier but if it keeps working as is I don't see a need. I have heard that after the initial small batch sold in Australia that they had the issue rectified before selling any more. (Hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.)

Like I said in the thread earlier its a known problem with the shock (pre Kenevo 2020) that the shaft can come loose - most retailers are not going to check the shock shaft duding PDI, so you should ask retailer to do so before picking up the bike.

There you go folks, always ask your retailer for a firm shafting.

A replacement has been posted back out to me today. Happy days.
