Been riding for almost 30 years. Get out about 3 or 4 times a week. I have always only ever gone uphill expressly to go downhill. Granted, I like the benefits of pedaling uphill, but the whole reason I've ever ridden is to hit jumps, berms, rock gardens, chutes, and whatever other fun elements are on the downhill. This bike is absolutely the dream for anyone like me. The post blows, but I knew I'd have to replace that after reading reviews. Other quibbles: the rear axle comes loose, but I check it regularly now, the cranks are a little long for the bb height on the large, and the walk mode is hit and miss. The bike itself though is so, SO good. It's a lite DH bike with spot-on geo that lets you climb everything. Want to get 3x the downhill on a 3 or 4 hour epic? Just keep it in eco most of the time, get a little help from the battery, and come back feeling like you were at the bike park all day. Only have the standard 60-90 minutes? Blow your wad with it in turbo the whole time and still get about double the dh you would've gotten on the acoustic enduro that's now gathering dust in your garage. I'll be stoked when they're lighter, but the only time the weight bugs is when you're off the bike maneuvering it around or lifting it onto your tailgate. When you're on the bike, it just feels planted, stable, and dialed. So pumped on this bike after three months. Can't recommend it enough. I just feel sad for my poor enduro rig. The one time I took it out after I started riding the Kenevo, I was bitter because- as good as that bike is- as I pedaled slowly uphill I knew I would've already been slaying the dh if I'd ridden the Kenevo.

Having owned many bikes over the years, many have been excellent and trustworthy steeds. This bike however, is hands down the best bike I've ever owned. It's grounded, great in the corners, floats through the air and climbs like a dream. You could easily stick a set of dual crowns on here if you wanted.

I tested a view bikes, Levo expert and this bike. If you want to give everything in your body to get that jump and speed, than this is the bike you want!! The Hills are not high enough for this bike! Great construction and gemometry and suspensions, great work specialized!!

I bought this bike to replace an S-Works mountain bike that was stolen. I can't say enough good things about this bike. I love the fact that I can climb just about any hill placed in front of me. Not only does it have a lot of power, but the suspension is outstanding. I also love the distance that I can ride on a full charge. It is an amazing bike. I weigh approximately 260 lbs, and it handles my weight like a champ.

Just rode the Kenovo at the VT MTB fest. It was hard to give it back. So much fun. It does everything well. I normally ride an Specialized Enduro and it took little to no time to adapt to this ebike!

The Levo is now an essential part of my bike quiver. A DH bike, a standard trailbike, and a Levo make for sweet riding opportunities wherever you're headed. Whether banging out solo laps at our local shuttle spot, or tagging along with my buddy that is way stronger, the Levo is at home. I find myself running it on the lowest setting as much as anything else, and it's just enough for a little boost but still working up a lather. Just fun all the time.
