Slay more of the biggest trails like never before with the all-new Kenevo SL 2. Elevating the category-defining ride of our award-winning Enduro chassis, the Kenevo SL 2 gets unmatched amplification, class-leading efficiency, and super light weight from our Turbo SL 1.2 system.
ENGINEERED EFFICIENCY: The SL 1.2 is the most efficient e-bike system in the world, unlocking maximum range-to-weight. It delivers 33% more power (320 Watts) than its predecessor with a supernatural feel, while 43% more torque (50Nm) lets you ride more of the trails you crave. Sure, the SL 1.2 system makes a big statement, but you won’t hear it because it’s also the quietest e-bike system in the world.
RIDE DYNAMICS: Kenevo SL 2’s 170mm of Enduro-inspired travel is tuned to keep composure on small bumps to big impacts, yet still offers amazing pedal response and efficient power delivery. A generous cockpit centers you on the bike, above 29” wheels, optimizing traction and corner control. The low bottom bracket, slack head tube angle, and reduced fork offset keep things stable in the rough. With geometry finely tuned over 30 years of making full suspension bikes and proven on the global stage time and time again, you can be confident the feedback in rough terrain will be calm and stable.
GEOMETRY OF CONTROL: Kenevo SL 2’s geometry can be fine-tuned for however you ride. Six distinct geometry settings allow easy adjustment to hone performance in any 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 7mm.
MASTERMIND TCU: The MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) is our class-leading solution that allows you to control how you, your bike, motor, and battery all interact. It seamlessly connects system hardware, the Specialized App, and the rider. Monitor battery consumption and access the bar-mounted MicroTune for real-time power adjustments.
S-SIZING: 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.

Specialized Kenevo SL Expert: Big-Mountain Capability With Super-Light E-MTB Precision
The Specialized Kenevo SL Expert is built for riders who want to ride the biggest, steepest, most demanding trails without the weight and disconnected feel of a full-power e-MTB. Based on Specialized’s proven Enduro DNA and powered by the ultra-efficient SL system, the Kenevo SL delivers massive downhill capability, precise handling, and just enough amplification to help you earn more descents in a single ride.
Key Benefits for Riders
SL 1.2 Motor for Powerful, Silent Assistance
At the heart of the Kenevo SL Expert is the Specialized SL 1.2 motor, delivering 50Nm of torque and 320 watts of power with an incredibly natural and quiet ride feel. The assistance amplifies your effort rather than overpowering it, making steep climbs and long transitions feel manageable while preserving the responsiveness and control of a traditional enduro bike.
170mm Enduro Suspension for Aggressive Terrain
The Kenevo SL Expert features 170mm of rear travel paired with a RockShox ZEB Select fork and Super Deluxe rear shock, tuned to handle everything from small chatter to massive impacts. The suspension remains composed at speed, tracks predictably through rough terrain, and still pedals efficiently when the trail points uphill.
Highly Adjustable Geometry for Any Riding Style
With six distinct geometry settings, the Kenevo SL allows you to fine-tune head angle and bottom bracket height to match your terrain and riding style. Head angles can be set between 62.5 and 64.5 degrees, while bottom bracket height can be adjusted up or down by 7mm, making this one of the most adaptable big-mountain e-MTBs available.
29-Inch Wheels for Stability and Control
Running 29-inch wheels front and rear, the Kenevo SL Expert delivers excellent rollover capability, traction, and stability at speed. Combined with the long, confidence-inspiring cockpit and low center of gravity, the bike stays planted through steep chutes, rock gardens, and high-speed corners.
GX Eagle Transmission and Maven Braking Power
The SRAM GX Eagle Transmission provides precise, durable shifting under load, ideal for aggressive riding and e-MTB torque. Stopping power comes from SRAM Maven Bronze brakes, delivering strong, consistent braking performance when charging steep and technical descents.
MasterMind TCU for Control and Customization
The MasterMind Turbo Control Unit gives you real-time insight into battery percentage, range, and performance. Bar-mounted MicroTune allows on-the-fly power adjustments in 10 percent increments, letting you dial in exactly the level of support you want for each section of trail.
Efficient Battery for Big Days
The fully integrated 320Wh battery is optimized for efficiency and weight, providing impressive range for an SL platform. It’s ideal for long enduro-style rides where climbing efficiency matters as much as downhill performance.
Why Choose the Specialized Kenevo SL Expert?
If your riding focuses on steep, technical, high-consequence trails and you want enduro-level suspension with a lighter, more precise e-MTB feel, the Specialized Kenevo SL Expert stands out. It delivers big-mountain confidence, exceptional adjustability, and super-light amplification that helps you ride more descents without sacrificing control, handling, or trail feel.
