The Kenevo SL takes from the classic Enduro s capabilities, but it adds a little wattage to the picture. Specialized gave it electric support to conquer the bigger trails and deliver more laps, more jumps, and more drops.
Visually, we can t deny that it looks almost identical to the Enduro. It s a less bulky e-MTB (about 12 lbs/ 5 kg lighter), but it keeps the 29-inch wheels. Its backbone is made of a monocoque Fact 11m carbon frame, which also uses the Enduro s six-bar linkage.
A spacious cockpit gives you plenty of space to move on the bike, improving stability and cornering control. When you hit the trail, the low bottom bracket, slack headtube angle, and reduced fork offset are there to keep things secure.
During the past few years, the e-bike market has a seen a nearly three-fold increase in revenue. It’s no wonder that so many teams are trying to cash in on the prize. While some produce bikes that make it to the next year, others are forgotten.

One of the teams surfing this new-found wave is Eunorau Electric Bikes. This Las Vegas-based company has been in the e-bike industry making components for over 11 years and counting. However, it has only recently begun selling complete e-bikes. With the level of fun and power riders have experienced on previous models, it looks like this team will keep going.
Why do people love bicycles so much? Maybe it’s because of the freedom they offer. Maybe it’s because of the workout. Maybe it’s because of the tech. Whatever your reasons for being a fan, e-MTBs are some of the most fun around.

There’s something about pedaling and all your energy being amplified three maybe four times over. The way you can effortlessly climb a hill, or glide down that ledge you saw last time you went out riding, is just.yeah. No words really.

What the cover photo shows is an e-bike, no doubt about that, but what kind of e-bike? Well, that’s a whole different story. That quirky creature you see is a Raleigh bike. Yes, the same Raleigh that most of you and your parents enjoyed, some as their first bike. So I was surprised to see that this legendary name is still alive. More so, these folks are still doing what they do best, offering affordable bikes to the common folk.
The particular specimen you see here is the Talus iE. It’s considered a hardtail trail bike by its creators, so let’s have a closer look to find out if the $1,700 price tag is enough to get this bike onto your birthday wish list.
The “Mula” From Fulgur Cycles Destroys All Known Notions of an e-MTB 19 Jan 2021, 15:13 UTC ·

Folks, what you see in the cover photo, video below, and gallery is known as the Mula by Italy s Fulgur Cycles. Just to bring you up to speed, the least expensive setup for this bike starts out at $8,125 (€6,700), while the most expensive topples the scales with a price tag of $10,790 (€8,900) at the time of writing this article. But why the hell is this Italian-made enduro e-bike so damn expensive?
Well, to start things off, it s got a carbon fiber frame. Yes, every single nook and cranny on this beastly frame is carbon. As far as what sort of carbon or layering techniques have been used in its construction, we have nothing. It would seem the team is quite hush-hush about how they do things over in Europe. All we’re given is a few photos, and a very short spec list.
