Specialized Turbo Kenevo SL Expert

Weigh Less. Way More.

Power up to trail riding’s next level and dominate any and all trail monsters—the Turbo Kenevo Super Light melds the legendary handling and all-around big trail prowess of the Enduro with Specialized's Super Light electric support to deliver indomitable capability, light weight, and power to conquer more and bigger trails. The Turbo Kenevo Super Light puts the “E” in Specialized's Enduro range, delivering more of what you want from your trail ride—more capability everywhere, more power to climb, more pop when you really need it, more adrenaline. More laps, more jumps, more drops, faster rides with fresher legs. And it does all this with less. Carrying much less weight than bulkier e-MTBs, the Turbo Kenevo Super Light is hyper-responsive and just as willing and able to redefine big trail performance as Specialized's Enduro. Level up your trail game.

Sorry, chairlifts and shuttle vehicles. The Turbo Kenevo SL Expert just made you obsolete with a stellar build that includes SRAM’s robust X01 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, dialed-in FOX Performance Elite suspension, and a high-performing Roval Traverse wheelset.

Power up to trail riding’s next level and rip the biggest trails like never before. The Kenevo Super Light is a featherweight e-MTB that redefines big mountain performance with a one-of-a-kind combination of light weight, responsiveness, and capability. Ultra-responsive handling and big mountain capability amplified by the benefits of the 240-watt Turbo Super Light system enables you to flow up, over, and through the biggest trails in ways that were previously impossible.

Developed Together to Ride as One
The Kenevo SL sets this new bar of trail performance through an integrated development approach. The trail-obsessed Turbo MTB Specialized team lives, eats, sleeps, and dreams singletrack. They created every part of the bike—chassis, geometry, suspension, motor, battery, and controller—to work flawlessly with every other part, and with you to deliver a ride beyond belief.

Ride Dynamics
With 170mm of plush, responsive, super-capable travel, the Kenevo Super Light eats up whatever you throw in front of it, from tree roots and trail chunder to massive G-outs and relentless hucks to flat. Suspension that works this flawlessly is realized when every component of the whole is developed together in an integrated approach. Total suspension performance involves chassis stiffness, kinematics, leverage rates, spring curves, damping performance, and tunability, all designed and working together to achieve a singular, elevated ride quality on the trail.

Turbo Super Light System
The Turbo Super Light System motor/controller at the core of the Kenevo SL delivers up to 2x You rider amplification so smoothly that you find traction in loose, steep terrain where other bikes spin out. It’s you pedaling, but it’s a way stronger version of you.

Spin It
You can spin a cadence of 75 RPM or more for optimal power and efficiency where other, less refined bikes demand you stand and mash the pedals (and your knees). The ability to smoothly and seamlessly control the power delivery is a cornerstone of what makes this bike so great.

MasterMind
The MasterMind TCU is the brain of the bike. Displaying all relevant info about your ride, it allows real-time tuning of support levels, enables over-the-air updates so that your bike gets better over time, and seamlessly integrates with the Mission Control app for advanced tuning, on-trail diagnostics, and more.

Frame of Reference
The full monocoque FACT 11m carbon fiber frame is the backbone of the Kenevo Super Light and is a marvel of composite construction, fully optimized for handling and weight savings.

Center of Power
The Turbo Super Light motor and 320Wh battery are integrated and centralized in the chassis to improve handling responsiveness by decreasing the moment of inertia while powering up to 4.5 hours of ride support.

Tuned Stiffness
We tuned the entire chassis - front end, rear end, and the link between them - as a single unit. This minimizes lateral and torsional deflection and delivers telepathic handling.

Geometry of Control
The Kenevo Super Light sets the benchmark for all-mountain e-MTB handling, adding six-way adjustability to the acclaimed Specialized Enduro geometry. Its generous cockpit gives you room to move on the bike, optimizing traction and corner control. A steep seat tube centers you over the bike, while the slack headtube angle and reduced fork offset keep things stable and calm in the rough. 29” wheels and a progressive wheelbase yield stability at high speeds while keeping things responsive and fun.

Adjustable Geometry
Regardless of where—or how—you ride, the Kenevo Super Light can be tuned to handle exactly how you like it. Six distinct settings allow you to hone trail manners to suit your style and terrain. Head angle can be set at 62.5, 63.5, or 64.5-degrees. Bottom bracket height can be fine-tuned up or down by 6mm.

Six Bars, Six Pivots, One Goal
The Six Bar linkage of the Kenevo SL represents the ultimate big-trail suspension linkage, delivering an unmatched combination of control, big-hit bump force management, optimized pedaling performance, and durability. At its heart, the Six Bar is the acclaimed FSR design that enables Specialized's engineers to optimize axle path for bump force management, tune anti-rise and anti-squat for pedaling performance, and decouple braking forces so the control delivered by active suspension is there for you even when you’re grabbing a handful.

Tension Links and Leverage Rate
The “tension links” that drive shock compression allow leverage rates to be dialed separately from the axle path for uncompromised spring and damper performance.

Low CG for Handling and Speed
The Six Bar design improves handling by lowering and centralizing mass to deliver stable-yet-responsive handling and a livelier feel on the trail.

Axle Path/Kinematics
A slight rearward axle path performs superbly on square-edged hits, allowing the wheel to move back and out of the way of obstacles instead of hanging up on them. This axle path also yields anti-squat properties early in the travel, enhancing pedaling efficiency.

Leverage Rate
The Kenevo SL’s leverage rate delivers small-bump sensitivity, mid-stroke support, and compliant but controlled full travel when stomping the big hits.

Features

• The Turbo Kenevo Super Light motor/controller system is a full integration of the bike’s 250-watt motor and 320Wh battery with a radically advanced and seamlessly integrated controller. The result is massive power delivered, up to 20mph/32kph, to get you to the top of your favorite descent with just half of the effort, and much faster, giving even more of the quality ride you yearn for, and more of it than ever before possible.
• The next-generation Mastermind TCU is your information hub, with customizable display fields including the exact percentage of battery level, and features our all-new, bar-mounted MicroTune function to adjust power delivery in 10% increments, so you get exactly the support you need to experience precisely the ride you want.
• 29” wheels front and rear deliver a nimble ride that carves circles around other full-power e-MTBs. A generous cockpit centers you on the bike, optimizing traction and corner control. The low bottom bracket, slack headtube angle and reduced fork offset keep things stable in the rough.
• The Turbo Kenevo Super Light geometry can be fine-tuned for wherever and however you ride. Six distinct geometry settings allow easy adjustment to hone performance in any terrain. Head angle can be adjusted between 62.5 and 64.5 degrees. Bottom bracket height can be fine-tuned up or down by 7mm. No one has ever made a more adjustable, adaptable trail bike.
• The Turbo Kenevo Super Light’s 170mm of Enduro-inspired travel is supple on small bumps, devours square-edged hits without a twitch, eats massive G-outs for breakfast, yet still offers amazing pedal response and delivers your power to the ground with total efficiency.
• The Turbo Kenevo Super Light’s S-Sizing is based on what matters—rider size and style, not inseam. Four sizes, all with similar headtube lengths and standover, allow you to choose the size that best suits your individual style. Smaller S-Size numbers are going to be nimble and more flickable, while bigger S-Sizes deliver more stability and a roomier ride.
• Aproximately 12 lbs lighter then the standard Kenevo.
• More power: up to 2x amplification of your power.
• Super responsive geometry with intuitive handling.
