Specialized Kenevo SL Expert

The Specialized Kenevo SL Expert weighs approximately 16 to 17 kilograms (roughly 36 to 38 pounds), which is significantly lighter than full-power e-mountain bikes that typically weigh 22 kg or more. This weight advantage comes from the SL platform's smaller battery and lower-output motor, which prioritize agility and trail feel over raw power.

The Kenevo SL uses Specialized's SL 1.1 motor, a compact mid-drive unit developed in partnership with Brose that delivers up to 240 watts of continuous power and 35 Nm of torque. This is paired with a 320Wh internal battery, and riders can add an optional 160Wh range extender that mounts in the bottle cage position to roughly double the available range.

The Kenevo SL Expert provides 170mm of rear wheel travel via Specialized's FSR (Future Shock Rear) linkage design, paired with a front fork that also delivers approximately 170mm of travel. This generous suspension makes it suited for aggressive enduro-style riding, steep descents, and technical trail features.

The Kenevo SL Expert is designed for aggressive trail and enduro riding, and its 170mm of suspension travel combined with a slack geometry makes it very capable on steep descents and technical terrain. However, its lower-assist SL motor means it won't provide the same powerful climb support as full-power e-MTBs like the Specialized Turbo Levo, so riders who prioritize climbing boost over downhill agility may prefer the latter.
