I tried that Magura one, it wasn't detected by my KSL electronics so I fitted a Neodymium N52 10mm x 2mm Magnet off ebay.
I actually bought a pack of 5 in case the first one fell off but it never has

Hi, for those who built a KENEVO SL or SL2 from a frame set, I have a few questions because I am planning to buy one:

-Can you tell me if it comes with a magnet for the sensor?
-It seems that the dropper+derailleur cables and housing are already fit, am I right?
-The KENEVO SL frameset comes with the Range Extender battery, is the KENEVO SL2 the same?
-Anyone measured the real max seat post insertion for a S2, because I found two different data...?

Thanks!

Hi,
I am currently building up an SL2 frameset.
- Yes.
- Yes. Brake housing needs to be done by yourself, but it's quite an easy job compared to other bikes (no need to remove motor or battery).
- Yes, came with an extender which is the same as on the SL1
- Can't help, mine is a S3.

Hi, thanks a lot.
Good to know that, product description lacks those details, these are important informations when building from a frame set.
I can also confirm what you both said, just got the answers from the french customer service.
Pretty good to know that the Range Extender is included!

 

[Teoslav]

Almost done with mine.
It will be a bit more than 20kg in size S5

Hi, anyone has found a 155mm crankset that fits on the TURBO KENEVO SL2 1.2?
Technical infos says: "DUB" for the cranks fitted OEM and the kids TURBO LEVO with the same motor (I think...) is fitted with a 155mm crankset (SRAM X1). But all spare X1 crankset is "ISIS".

Waiting a response from the tech service from HOPE.
Response is: "Unfortunately, we do not make a crank that will fit the 1.2 motors I'm afraid, sorry."

-Any way to buy SPECIALIZED spare parts online(KIDS TURBO LEVO 155mm crankset)?
Thank you!

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, where did you ordered it?

Nevermind, I think I have an answer...
"The majority of replacement parts must be ordered through and installed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer"

 

[Redders473]

Can you use a 34t chainring and till use the chain guide ??

Dammit!
"Unfortunately, those cranks were made for the Specialized LevoSL HT kids and are an OEM part made just for Specialized. Those cranks cannot be purchased aftermarket through SRAM."

Does anybody know are the stock Fox X2 shocks the supposedly updated 2024 models in the KSL 2’s?

Does anybody know are the stock Fox X2 shocks the supposedly updated 2024 models in the KSL 2’s?

I wonder the same thing... seems unlikely.
Maybe if a KSL2 owner can check that with the shock's serial number?

If have an KSL2 S-Works frame. But unfortunately there is no serial number on the shock.

Nice to see this thread come alive with such super cool (and heavy duty no-weight-weenie) builds! KSL isn't dead yet :- )

 

[Geas]

nope!
