The extra cost to fix the electricals after a nasty crash will be tasty.

[aviationboy_]

That thing must weigh more than my mom

Made kenevo expert a full dh rig! Put a 200mm airspring in the boxxer and bought a 230x65 coil shock and an air shock also. Both super deluxe ultimate. Gives me 187mm rear travel! I love it! Do everything on that bike!

My Kenevo Expert is a flying machine DH

[brauliozunigamurillo]

Wow bro great design in mountain bike & sport😮😅😊

[g.w.customcreations]

This is awful.
Why not just get a bikepark/freeride bike?
190mm of coil sprung plush, good angles, and 12spd to winch you back to the top.
I built a 190mm cube hanzz. Yes its heavy, but its lighter, less fragile & cheaper than this.

Ppl act like we go on trails to get fit its for fun and for the thrill i only use mine if i the trail has a hill likw mount everest and afterall we only need pedal assist like 1/10th of the timw for hills on trails

[Tom-]

That thing looks horribly heavy. And you take the cable car in bike parks anyways, no one is pedalling up 1200 meters of elevation several times a day, not even with an ebike

[collinbennett]

I need a Dh bike so bad I’m racing Dh on a 130 140 mm trail bike it is rough

[nickporter]

Is this the beginning of the end for “analog” downhill” bikes? Although, as someone else said… going to cost a packet if you stack it!

[CS-irmo]

That sick asf ill be honest alot of places i walk up the hill save energy or have wife shuttle me if can and i notice dude on ebikes can just session jumplines back to back not stop move on to next i will be buying ebike for traveling cause alot of trails that i hit are during week this on place just rode 1.8 miles down and 2.0 miles up in 96 degrees sucked so wife shuttle me back up. Suck all padded up in heat

[holaaholasssdaa-tblz]

I want one, but i from argentina 😢. And the price is very, but very

[nolaan]

why does a dh bike that can pedal need to be an e bike? hypothetically speaking what if you put a dropper and a 12 speed on a dh bike and tested it, i bet it would pedal horribly but it would get the job done just very slowly

[RigglyLloyd]

Always wondered when I rode downhill a few years ago if they made something to replace the shock to give you the same feel as a hardtail ? If say you couldn't afford a second bike and you had a budget. Or is it not just the case of removing the shock with something solid 🤔

[chrisw]

emoto instead? We're edging towards that territory, surely? The cost is getting pretty close. An emoto will get you up the hill faster, just that you probably can't ride trail centres and bike parks on them.

[jonathanmoulton]

Just get a yz 250 2 stroke. For that price.

Just put an engine in it and be done with it
