Kenevo SL Official 2022 Kenevo SL (KSL) Megathread!

[tabbibus]

How much real world difference is there between the KSL1 and KSL2? My local Spesh dealer has one 2022 S-Works frame left in the back, they’ve got it marked down to £3150. The guy working said the owner would probably discount it even further just to get rid of it if I were interested. He was saying something in the neighbourhood of £2800.

I honestly don’t need another bike right now, can’t really even ride the ones I have but I’m a sucker for a deal.

With my gen 1, I don't have range issues, but I do not do long back country rides. Mostly local trails. I wish I had the easy path to T-type that Gen 2 has, but in reality, mechanical drivetrain has served me well. I honestly have no regrets with my gen 1

What do you mean easy path to T-Type? cost?

The KSL1 doesn’t have UDH so you can’t run T-Type, the KSL2 was updated and you can.

Odd, I have KSL1 and it has UDH...

My KSL1 has UDH…

 

[Doomanic]

Mine too…

 

[Joe_wei]

KSL 1 has UDH.

There is no real benefit to have apple find, lock, alarm on an emtb. It is not like you are going to lock a 12k mountain bike to a city to a stake.
It can mitigate in some situation ... but this is very limited, and if they go to my garage well ... there is already an alarm on my house.

i already has a customer who had his stolen bike back 3h after it was stolen, so no, you are wrong

 

[tabbibus]

Gen1 has UDH, yes, the issue is the crank/chain ring. To upgrade to t-type, you have to change those to a t-type compatible set up, and there are no inexpensive ways to do so. There are some posts back here that discuss that as well. Wild, right?

 

[Joe_wei]

When there is "TG" mark on the inner side of the chainring it is compatible.

I‘ve got. a new update for my ksl suspension and it‘s a very good match. the guys from push did a really good job. the torsion is no problem . It feels much better than the Fox 38. and it looks great .

 

[roQer]

Any news about a KSL with a higher capacity battery or does the KSL line end up now?
I really like my KSL but the Slash + and Decoy SN are tempting, though not really my dream ebikes - Slash + geo on the shorter side for a L, Decoy SN small battery.

 

[Dax]

Not heard anything, but seems likely that the next KSL will have a totally new motor/battery setup. Surely Spech have squeezed as much out of this one as they can.

I’d bet that next on the cards is a new FF Levo, then new KSL fall 2025.

 

[George_KSL]

Well, Enduro didn't see update for 5 years at the moment so I wouldn't bet on any hurry with KSL"3".

 

[Doomanic]

It would be incredibly simple for Spesh to up the capacity of the battery by nearly 50% by using 21700 cells in place of the 18650 cells they currently use.

 

[Doomanic]

The pack would be approximately 6mm wider, 3mm thicker, 65mm longer and 500g heavier.

 

[Streddaz]

The pack would be approximately 6mm wider, 3mm thicker, 65mm longer and 500g heavier.

And I guarantee that it won't be backwards compatible.
