Yes.This is only if you set it to use the extended battery first, correct?

Any mineral oil will do. You can either get Shimano‘s or Magura‘s liquid.Just wondering if anyone one here has gone Shigura for brakes and if so, what fluid did you use ?
Thanks very much,

Juicy Lubes mineral oil is also really good.Just wondering if anyone one here has gone Shigura for brakes and if so, what fluid did you use ?

TVM, MetroNeckJuicy Lubes mineral oil is also really good.
I’ve used them all.TVM, MetroNeck
Following my post, I did a bit more research and found that you can use either Shimano or Magura mineral oils

I am not 100% sure about the RS, but most coils can have a spacer added to reduce their stroke. An authorized dealer can answer that.Hi - has anyone tested a 230x65 coil (instead of factory 230x62.5) on Kenevo SL - I am looking at the 2023 RS Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate and not sure whether to go 62.5mm or 65mm. I normally run the bike mullet with 180mm RS Zeb Buttercup front, neutral head set cup, high chip. Shock is currently factory FOX X and looking to upgrade. My riding weight is around 210lb (95kg), bike size is S5. Any info would be appreciated!

The clearance issues were the with the older model SDU and to make it fit you needed to fit a smaller reservoir. I believe the new 2023 shocks have the reservoir positioned higher so there should be enough clearance to fit but I would definitely advise a test fit before purchase to confirm.I am not 100% sure about the RS, but most coils can have a spacer added to reduce their stroke.

Also, search this forum for potential figment concerns with the Super Deluxe. IIRC there is some discussion about it.
I have an S5 KSL with a 65mm stroke Fox DHX2 running full 29er. #294life No clearance issues at all and gives about 7mm more rear wheel travel. The shock came supplied as 62.5mm stroke so I removed the 2.5mm stroke reducer that’s attached to the end of the damper body and put it back on the bike without the spring and fully compressed it and there’s plenty of clearance.Hi - has anyone tested a 230x65 coil (instead of factory 230x62.5) on Kenevo SL - I am looking at the 2023 RS Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate and not sure whether to go 62.5mm or 65mm.

Yep. I think it has to be. When I was still weighing up which way to go, SL or full power, the local Specialized dealer to me had a couple of dates for the current full power Kenevo as coming back in to stock in June. But trying to find a new one anywhere in the size I wanted was impossible. So maybe they will just clear the last of the remaining model before launching a new bike. It seems well overdue to be replaced.Anyone think a full power Kenevo is coming?
The current one is dated tho, i would think a mullet is coming?Yep. I think it has to be.

Quite possibly. Updates more inline with gen 3 Levo would make a lot of sense. A long travel enduro that's lighter and updated geo compared to the current model Full power Kenevo.The current one is dated tho, i would think a mullet is coming?
Yes, like the downtube, the rear seat tube and some areas on the rear triangle, but imo it's not enough. I went with a total Ridewrap.Do KSLs come with some frame protection pre installed in certain areas like the levos ??
Thanks for the info! Moved back to 29' set up, high chip & neutral head set this weekend and think this is now my preferred set up as covers most terrain. On super steep tracks will likely just pop back into mullet and leave the head set neutral. On the 62.5 vs. 65mm, thanks, the spacer does the job - thanks again ...I have an S5 KSL with a 65mm stroke Fox DHX2 running full 29er. #294life No clearance issues at and gives about 7mm more rear wheel travel.

I also have a 180mm Zeb on the front, neutral head cup and high chainstay position and weigh 95Kg so our setup is nearly identical!
Mine feels really nicely balanced at 180/almost 180. Go for the 65mm stroke, it’s free extra travel and it’s always nice to have bit extra in reserve.
Definitely complete wrap imo. Also down tube protection like Rockstop is advisable. If riding really rocky stuff then there is a French company that does a very tough looking motor and downtube protector but it’s a lot more money. I can’t remember the name of it but there is a thread on it somewhere.Do KSLs come with some frame protection pre installed in certain areas like the levos
They don't fit the SL motor.I have some 165mm Hope Cranks..
I'm currently running a mullet setup on a 2022 S4 S-works.. Steep and high, the BB is sitting at 349.2mm or about 13.75ins (measured from the ground the the middle of the cranks spindle).. not too bad.. Michelin Wild AM2 tires. Based on the geo cal.. this setup would be about 10mm higher with a 29er. I have some 165mm Hope Cranks.. gonna throw them on .. If I go to the bike park.. I'll slack it and set it to low..which I love for that environment.. I generally ride flat FL rooty trails .. which suck for anything lower then 360-370mm BB

Additional info. I've been trying out the new I9 305s.. man they are light and strong.. I had an issue with the Hub slipping (once on a step climb) on the Levo full power.. no issues at all on the SL.
Hope now make cranks that’s SL compatible? For long time Praxis was only option for SL.
