Specialized S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL Electric Mountain Bike 2022

Specialized S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL Electric Mountain Bike 2022

Based on the legendary Enduro platform, the Specialized S-Works Turbo Kenevo SL Electric Mountain Bike combines power with brawn to unlock more laps on your favourite descents. Unrivalled in its capability, the 170mm platform injects fun into every ride, allowing you to shred more jumps, rally more steeps and roost more turns than ever before. Leave your preconceptions at the door; the lightweight frameset provides an exhilarating and lively ride experience, whilst still delivering the power you need to dominate the climbs. A departure from the bulky, poorly integrated electric bikes of the past, the Kenevo SL brings the clean, purposeful aesthetic of the Enduro to an all-new turbo model.

Neatly housed at the bottom bracket, the 250-watt motor provides 35Nm of seamless assistance up to a maximum speed of 15.5 mph / 25 km/h to effectively double your climbing power, allowing you to extend your playtime and feel fresh for every descent. A reduction in power over the full-assist Turbo Levo model sees a low overall weight, keeping the handling impacts of the motor and battery to a minimum to offer a ride character found only on non-electric models. Sat low in the frame, this additional weight lowers the bike's centre of gravity, enhancing traction for grin-inducing levels of grip on soft, loose terrain.

At the heart of the Turbo SL system is the latest MasterMind TCU, which features customisable display fields and an all-new MicroTune setting, allowing for precise support settings that mirror your needs. All of this is powered by a slim, downtube mounted 320Wh battery, which will have onlookers double-guessing the bike's Turbo credentials. The adjustable geometry takes cues from both the Enduro and Stumpjumper Evo models, with the 29” frame featuring six unique geometry settings offering a range of head angle and bottom bracket measurements.

Supple and forgiving, the 170mm of travel begs to be sent through rock gardens and chundery roots, gifting the rider with total composure on jumps, drops and compressions. The rearward axle path reduces hangup on square-edged hits to maintain momentum, and whilst geared towards descending, the 6-bar platform lends itself well to steep climbs.

With no expense spared, the parts specification on this S-Works model is cherry-picked for unparalleled performance. A fully wireless SRAM Eagle AXS XX1 drivetrain delivers crisp, tactile shifts across its wide, 12-speed range, and Code RSC brakes provide ample stopping power for backcountry steeps. The Roval Traverse SL 29 wheels blend stiffness with compliance for a fast, forgiving ride, and the FOX Factory suspension rewards puzzlers with supreme traction and support, owing to its vast array of adjustments.
