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.

Pros
  1. 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
Cons
  1. 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.

E-Mountainbike Magazine

Pros
  1. System integration
  2. Modular battery concept
  3. High stability at high speeds
Cons
  1. Sizing concept does not work
  2. Equipment does not meet the intended purpose

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

Pros
  1. Superb handling – more regular bike than e-MTB
  2. motor is smooth and Mission Control app adds adjustability
  3. great, adjustable geometry
  4. balanced, very capable suspension
Cons
  1. The cost is seriously prohibitive (even the cheapest Comp model is £7k)
  2. not enough seatpost insertion depth and can’t get post low enough in the frame

ENDURO Mountainbike Magazine

Peter Walker

Pros
  1. Very intuitive handling
  2. Motor assistance without significant downsides in downhill riding
Cons
  1. restricted freedom of movement
  2. thin-walled tires on carbon rims
  3. shock absorber bottoms out
