When Neil Donoghue decided to build his dream bike build, there was only one bike that came to mind - The Specialized Kenevo SL! Having ridden a loaner bike, Neil knew he had to get his hands on one for himself and decided to build his ultimate dream EMTB bike with a serious list of high-spec components to really satisfy his need for speed!

Stunning bike. I have a Levo SL and I have to say they ride beautifully, so close to a manual but with a motor. Best of both worlds

@riznaldo07 2 года назад

I have a Kenevo SL S works and I’ve come from a Yeti SB6 team replica. The Kenevo has transformed my riding and it’s been noticed by everyone. Absolute monster of a bike!!

@johnmorrison8351 2 года назад

Outstanding! It’s nice seeing different components on a dream build too… That TRP stuff is nice 👍

@embn 2 года назад

Thanks, John! The Kenevo SL is a thing of beauty, that's for sure! You're right, the TRP brakes really pop! 😍

@ginger_monkeey 2 года назад

Bought a Kenevo SL Comp, upgraded with FAST coil shock, Zeb ultimate, XTR brakes, AXS dropper and rear mech and carbon wheels. As good a spec as the sworks and about 4k cheaper to boot 😁

@chickenclips 2 года назад

love my KSL - it's a planted beast of a bike that can be nimble when you want it to be. It jumps like a dream

@Neph-v5r 9 месяцев назад

Just bought a KSL, stunning machine.

@Mcfc2Rich 2 года назад

So he finally got persuaded with the KSL 😂 I knew he would. I've got the KSL, it's a monsttter

@embn 2 года назад

Haha! It didn't take much to convince Neil! 😂 Yeah, it really is a monster! 👍

@br5380 Год назад

I bought an Kenevo SL Expert just before Christmas, done nearly 2000 miles in 10 months. Run mine with the -1 headset and low setting rear, only real spec changes are swap out the SRAM brakes for Saint's & Galfer thick rotors and a 31.6mm carbon bar & stem. It rides brilliantly and while it is hard work on the climbs, if out with a crowd of full-fat bikes it more than keeps up going down trails. Recommended.

@robhaskins3068 2 года назад

Flash as a rat with gold teeth. Glad I don't have to pay for it. I'm loving my new Trek Fuel EXe 9.7 nice flickability E=Mtb²

@embn 2 года назад

Exactly, Rob! We're stoked you're loving your new Fuel EX-e! Safe riding! 👊

@AntonCor 2 года назад

I have a Focus Bold2 with 26.900 km and I've changed pretty much everything on it. The only original parts left are the seatpost collar, the Shimano display and the remote lever. I built my last MTB from scratch, but now I ride a lot and destroy everything pretty fast,so even if I don't like something, I don't upgrade, I just wait a bit until it's time to replace it.

@stevekelleher8900 2 года назад

Wicked Neil, some bike

@embn 2 года назад

Thanks, Steve! It looks insane, doesn't it?

@struds24 2 года назад

Bike looks awesome, not cheap I presume but a great way to build what you want if you can buy frame sets which it seems few manufacturers offer yet unfortunately. it would be even better if the motors and batteries had a standard frame mount/fixing so you could choose motor and battery for even more custom but doubt that will ever will an option.

@Cheapsh0t247 2 года назад

Very nice build dude, I bought an Kenevo comp and started to upgrade the components to where i want them to be as I personally didnt like the options on higher spec bikes and prefer the security and longevity of Alimunium (My last bike an acoustic carbon 2008 S-Works Stumpjumper started to delaminate). So far i have upgraded the bars to Rental 35mm bar with 40mm rise. Raceface flat stem but 50mm reach as it was too twitchy for me without. Brakes are in the process or going to over to Hope, and the drive chain i want to change to shimano once its worn out (might be a challenge with the hub body). Seat is now a Flite. I wanted a coil shock but found that Specialized had replaced it later that year as they were having some failures due to the push angle apparent causing issues with breaking the damper shaft. I might replace the shock later, quite like the look of the new marzocchi rear coil. Also plan to have a 2nd 500watt/hour battery or more likely upgrade the battery to 750wh or ideally 900wh as being a heavy dude with a heavy bike its only really returning 16miles on the 500wh battery on my quick local route on turbo for maximum fun.

@andersonsridebikes 2 года назад

I’m going to take credit for this build! You definitely got the idea after you saw my bike at the group ride in Bentonville! 🤣 It was so cool to ride with you!

@neildonoghueMTB 2 года назад

Ha yeah. I remember the bike. I find myself going into my garage just to look at mine

@andersonsridebikes 2 года назад

@@neildonoghueMTB you did an excellent job with that build!

@DrCrimp-sg5pb 2 года назад

Cool to see smth different than the usual fox-RS-shimano and SRAM. So much good/better stuff out there!!

@rezenclowd3 2 года назад

Would have been better off buying the Comp as the frames are the same, and selling off all the bits (assuming the EU price is similar ratio) Either way, right now I think this is the best Enduro E-MTB.

@emtbhookes 2 года назад

Agreed. That’s exactly what I did! Best way to do it IMO.

@davidpinnington213 2 года назад

First -only cos its hammering with rain this morning

@kevinmanzo862 3 месяца назад

This new S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL 2 or gas gas ecc6?

@alexlucchetti5927 Год назад

I saw a moment a formula mod on the frame…!? Does it fit please…? Great bike 😎

@stuartdouglass01 2 года назад

Lovely stuff Neil. Proper nice bike that. Happy trails!

@embn 2 года назад

Thanks for the support! It really does look insane with its outrageous spec!

@Filipengra 2 года назад

I have bought a Orbea Rise M20 and do similar. exchange everthing i think. Same Renthal Stem and carbon handlebar (800mm here). Choose XTR over TRP for brakes, and DTSwiss 1501 exc for wheels. AXS everthing. And fox 36 front ohlins shock.

@embn 2 года назад

Nice, Filipe! That sounds like a great project! Send it into the EMBN uploader when you've finished the build! 😉

@chastis 2 года назад

@rogercanisius8497 2 года назад

I tried the E Mazza Tires, but it "drains" the scope of your batterie!

@cg1983 2 года назад

My next !!!!!

@The.JZA. Год назад

Beautiful bike. I would be tempted to buy one but I think after owning a full power ebike for 2 years, I might feel like the SL is a bit gutless. I'd like to have a ride on one though.

@neksta5615 2 года назад

what a nice bike !!! wish you fun with it

@Magoo71 2 года назад

6-7 months into eMTB ownership. Lovin' it so far! Luna Cycle Apollo 27.5" Enve Carbon wheels, Cane Creek Helm MKll Fork 160mm and Cane Creek Dbl IL Air Rear shock 140mm.

Hi Neil, I've got the Specialized Turbo Levo Comp carbon 3rd gen ; it's murdered out ! I got invis to customize black lettering over the silver & black lettering over the head tube, One up bars with red One up decals, with 35 mil rise 780 mm length, Red Anodized muck off valves, full Invis, 35mm Copperhead stem, in black & Red Anodized Hope flat pedals, upgraded the butcher tyres to a gravity in the rear & slightly heavier casing on the front & 220mm rotors front & back 👍👌🔥🔥🔥🌲🌲🚵🌲🌲

We've got him now! Neil is one of us! 😅

@andymtb3212 2 года назад

I have and love a Rossignol (Felt) Mandate Shift Deore emtb. It uses an EP8 motor with 630wh battery. Great geometry, ZEB fork that I upped to 160mm travel. I changed to an Ergon saddle and Fat Paw grips.

@dunkie976 2 года назад

Niccccce! Can tell that you are a racer, by picking Formula and TRP, instead of the big brands. I've built alsorts but my last one was a Yeti ASX build with Manitou Sherman's hope, chris king, raceface, she was a beaut 😘

@Jod9970 2 года назад

Neil , beautiful bike. How does it compare to the standard S Works? Would I notice the difference? Great content. John

@NerdsonDirtMTB 2 года назад

Sweet rig, I love my Kenevo, wish I could mullet it properly but its still really good.

@nomad-pq4yw8iy7v 2 года назад

Have a 2022 Reign E2 love it! I been changing it as I go. ten tooth cassette, gx axs derailer, modified front proguard fender for the rear, mudhugger bolt-on on the front and Saint brakes among other things. Do you prefer the invis over the other frame kits out there?
