Sumarize
The S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL 2 from Specialized is a high-end e-mountain bike designed for demanding trails. With a front wheel travel of 170mm and the same travel at the rear, this bike offers exceptional performance on technical descents and challenging trails. The Kenevo SL 2 is powered by a new Specialized 1.2 SL Custom Rx Trail Tuned motor, which provides powerful yet natural support. Power is supplied by a fully integrated Specialized SL1-320 battery with 320Wh, which represents an excellent balance between weight, power and range. The frame of the bike is made of FACT 11m full carbon and is designed for 29" wheels. Thanks to the full internal cable routing and the 148mm axle width, the bike is not only visually slim, but is also functionally designed to meet the highest demands. The geometry of the bike can be adjusted using the geo-adjust head section and the geo-adjust Horst pivot, which ensures versatile riding performance. The equipment also includes a Fox 38 Factory fork with Grip 2 damper and 170 mm travel, a Fox Float X2 Factory damper and SRAM Code Stealth Ultimate brakes with 4-piston brake calipers and hydraulic discs. The SRAM XX Eagle Transmission rear derailleur and the SRAM AXS POD Controller drivetrain system guarantee precise and fast gear changes. The wheels, Roval Traverse SL 29, are made of hookless carbon with an inner width of 30mm and are tubeless ready. They offer excellent stability and responsiveness on all surfaces. In summary, the S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL 2 is a technically mature e-mountain bike that impresses with its lightweight construction, advanced technology and high-quality components and was designed for demanding mountain bikers.

Alan Muldoon
The Specialized S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL works its magic in many different ways, but at the root of them all is its superb blend of stability and agility.
- Can hang with the best enduro bikes on the descents and leave them for dead on the climbs. Unobtrusive motor accentuates the positives. Six unique geometry settings
- Battery can’t be removed easily. Limited seat post insertion. It’s a decent deposit on a house.

EMTB Magazin
Plenty of travel, coil shock, progressive geometry: freeriders have become outsiders. But with a motor, the genre is experiencing a revival. The Specialized Turbo Kenevo in the EMTB test.
- System integration
- Modular battery concept
- High stability at high speeds
- Sizing concept does not work
- Equipment does not meet the intended purpose
Robin Weaver
The Kenevo SL might be very, very expensive, but it manages to bridge the gap between regular bike and full-blown e-MTB brilliantly. Seatpost insertion depth is an issue, but otherwise, this could well be the bike we’ve all been waiting for
- Superb handling – more regular bike than e-MTB
- motor is smooth and Mission Control app adds adjustability
- great, adjustable geometry
- balanced, very capable suspension
- The cost is seriously prohibitive (even the cheapest Comp model is £7k)
- not enough seatpost insertion depth and can’t get post low enough in the frame
Peter Walker
- Very intuitive handling
- Motor assistance without significant downsides in downhill riding
- restricted freedom of movement
- thin-walled tires on carbon rims
- shock absorber bottoms out
