Specialized Turbo Kenevo Expert Review

Nov 2019

Price: $7550.00 | Model Year: 2019 | A purpose built, strong and sturdy, full suspension, all mountain with some enduro, agile and balanced with it’s 50/50 weight distribution, smooth and powerful mid-drive electric mountain bike

Observations
  • A purpose built, strong and sturdy, full suspension, all mountain with some enduro, agile and balanced with it’s 50/50 weight distribution, smooth and powerful mid-drive electric mountain bike

  • This is an extremely sturdy and overbuilt setup, thanks to points of interest like this X bar frame design, the super wide 34.9mm seat post, and through axles in not just the wheels, but even the battery housing

  • Brose S ALU mid-drive motor with plenty of power and 3 modes of assist, paired with hydraulic disc brakes and SRAM GX 11 speed derailleur

  • You can’t really dump gears quickly with the SRAM GX setup, the bike is an expensive investment, and the battery can be removed by anybody with the right sized hex tool

Aug 2018 · Alan Muldoon

Most great ideas start with “what if?” The new Specialized Turbo Kenevo is how they answer the question, "What if we could have our own personal uplift?"

Highs
  • Clutter free, ergonomic motor controls.

Lows
  • Butcher 2.8in tyres lack traction. It’s heavy.

Specialized Turbo Kenevo Expert 6Fattie first ride review

Sep 2017 · Rob Weaver

With 180mm of travel, a burly build and some rather enduro-esque angles, Specialized’s new Turbo Kenevo expands its e-MTB offering, catering for those looking for something with a bit more ‘grrrrrrr’ going down and enough oomph to get you back up the hill. . .

Sep 2017 · Robin Schmitt

Out of the shadows walks the big brother of the lauded Turbo Levo, a bike with the brawns for bike parks and rough terrain that goes by the name Specialized Turbo Kenevo. We’ve tested the mettle of this big-throw bike in the US and here at home in Bavaria, taking in the trails, drops and […]
