Congratulations on the purchase of your new Specialized Turbo bicycle! Before we get you set up for your first ride, a few words about electric bicycles.
As the name suggests, and unlike regular bicycles, Specialized electric bicycles have very sophisticated and carefully engineered high-precision electrical components, including
a built-in custom motor drive unit, a high-performance battery integrated into the frame, sensors, one or more display units, and wiring throughout to make sure everything is
connected. You will also have a unique riding experience with added speed and acceleration from the motor support. Because of this, you need to treat your electric bicycle
differently from a regular bicycle and you need to be careful not to damage electrical components. This means you should not expose any electrical components to water (e.g., do
not pressure-wash your bicycle), drop or otherwise damage your battery, touch any live components, or open up or otherwise tamper with electrical components. This also means
you should be mindful your lithium-ion battery, when sufficiently charged, has enough energy stored to potentially start a fire and follow the instructions in this manual when it
comes to charging, transporting, cleaning, or storing your battery.
Not following these instructions may have serious consequences and can result in a fire, which may injure you and other people. Be sure you read this manual in its entirety and call
us if you have any questions.
WARNING! Be careful not to damage or expose electrical components to water. Do not pressure wash your battery, motor, or any other electrical components. Damaging
electrical components or exposing them to water may start a fire which can result in serious injury or even death.
WARNING! Always be present when charging your battery and disconnect it when it is fully charged. Do not leave your battery plugged in or let it charge overnight.
Immediately disconnect the battery from the charger when you encounter any problem during the charging process, e.g., when the charger or battery get extremely hot
or when the LED lights signal a problem. Failure to follow this warning can start a fire which can result in serious injury or even death.

4. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR Kenevo SL
4.1. INTENDED USE
The Turbo Kenevo SL is intended and tested for General Purpose Riding (Condition 4) use only.
CONDITION 4 Bikes designed for riding Conditions 1, 2, and 3, plus rough technical areas,
moderately sized obstacles, and small jumps.
INTENDED
For trail and uphill riding. All-Mountain bicycles are: (1) more heavy duty than
cross country bikes, but less heavy duty than Freeride bikes, (2) lighter and
more nimble than Freeride bikes, (3) heavier and have more suspension travel
than a cross country bike, allowing them to be ridden in more difficult terrain,
over larger obstacles and moderate jumps, (4) intermediate in suspension
travel and use components that fit the intermediate intended use, (5) cover
a fairly wide range of intended use, with models that are more or less heavy
duty. Talk to your Authorized Specialized Retailer about your needs and these
models.
NOT
INTENDED
Not for use in extreme forms of jumping/riding such as hardcore mountain,
Freeriding, Downhill, North Shore, Dirt Jumping, Hucking etc. Not for large
drop offs, jumps or launches (wooden structures, dirt embankments) requiring
long suspension travel or heavy duty components; and not for spending time
in the air landing hard and hammering through obstacles.
TRADE OFF
All-Mountain bikes are more rugged than cross country bikes, for riding more
difficult terrain. All-Mountain bikes are heavier and harder to ride uphill than
cross country bikes. All-Mountain bikes are lighter, more nimble and easier
to ride uphill than Freeride bikes. All-Mountain bikes are not as rugged as
Freeride bikes and must not be used for more extreme riding and terrain.
4.2. PEDELEC / EPAC
The Kenevo SL is classified as an Pedelec/EPAC. Regardless of its classification, it will provide
motor support only while pedaling. Your motor support will automatically shut off when you
reach a maximum assistance speed depending on the country of purchase.
Depending on the classification, there can be different requirements and regulations affecting
your use of the bicycle. A driver’s license or insurance is typically not required.
Per EN 15194: The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the driver ears is less than 70 dB(A).
CAUTION: All Turbo Kenevo SL bicycles have a fixed pre-set speed limit
at which the motor support will automatically shut off. Any unauthorized
tampering with the power output and/or system is prohibited and will void
the warranty.

ENFRDUCZSKFREEFREE PL
5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
The Kenevo SL motor provides pedal assistance only while you are pedaling and the bicycle is
in motion. The amount of pedal assistance will be higher or lower depending on the amount of
force applied to the pedals. If you stop pedaling, the motor will stop providing any assistance.
The Kenevo SL bicycle can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without motor assistance by
switching the display to the OFF mode. The same applies if the battery charge drops below
5 - 3%.
5.1. RIDING TIPS
Because of the electric motor assist, the Kenevo SL offers a unique riding experience
compared to a bicycle without motor assist. Below are some riding tips which may also reduce
component wear and increase battery range:
Pay attention to your speed going into a corner and be sure to stop pedaling well before
entering the corner. Otherwise you may carry too much speed when entering a corner.
Ride at a comfortable efficient cadence, and look ahead.
When braking force is applied, more energy is needed to get the bicycle back up to speed.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range and downshift before coming to
a stop.
Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Braking while steering may reduce the ability to control your bicycle.
Check the tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
Do not expose your bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight).
Only carry the cargo you need. More weight will drain the battery faster.
If you plan to ride your bicycle in cooler temperatures (0 °C - 32 °F), keep it stored indoors
until just before riding
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals
and the bicycle is in motion. You should be seated on the bicycle and engage
at least one brake before starting to pedal. Do not put one foot on a pedal and
throw a leg over the bicycle, as it could accelerate unexpectedly. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death.
WARNING! The acceleration of an electric bicycle can be faster than
anticipated and may feel unusual at first. Before your first ride, you should use
the lowest power ECO mode and become familiar with the operation of the
electric bicycle by practicing starting and stopping, cornering and navigating
obstacles in a safe environment away from other bicycles, pedestrians and/or
vehicles. Due to the greater acceleration of an electric bicycle, you should also
pay particular attention to terrain conditions as you may approach obstacles
faster than expected. Please note the default motor support mode upon
startup is always TRAIL mode.
CAUTION: The weight of your Kenevo SL is significantly higher than a bicycle
without motor support. Use caution when handling the bicycle (including, but
not limited to parking, lifting, pushing, loading it into a car or onto a bicycle
carrier and unloading it).
WARNING! Use caution when viewing or using the display while riding, as it
can be distracting and can lead to accidents. You should always stop before
changing settings or operating the various functions of the display.

9
5.2. BEFORE RIDING
Regardless of your experience level, you should read the “FIRST” section of your Owner’s
Manual (Bike Fit, Safety First, Mechanical Safety Check and First Ride) and carry out all
important safety checks. In addition, make sure you are familiar with the following areas of the
bicycle that are specific to electric bicycles.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE:
BATTERY: Is the battery fully charged?
MASTERMIND TCU DISPLAY: Are you familiar with the function of the display features?
REMOTE: Are you familiar with the function of the buttons on the remote?
BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
BATTERY: Do you have sufficient battery charge?
MASTERMIND TCU DISPLAY: Is the display functioning correctly?
REMOTE: Do you know how to use the remote to change the motor support level from OFF
to ECO to TRAIL to TURBO?
5.3. KNOW YOUR RANGE
Know the range of your electric bicycle before you start your ride. You can calculate your range
by visiting www.specialized.com, selecting your Turbo bicycle model, then clicking on the
range calculator. In addition to the range calculator, we recommend using the Smart Control
feature in the Mission Control App to control your range.
5.4. REMOVABLE YELLOW STICKER
Your Kenevo SL bicycle has a removable yellow
sticker adhered to the frame, stating the bicycle
serial number. Remove this sticker from the bicycle
and place it on the last page of this manual for future
reference.
5.5. RIDING WITH KIDS
There are many different setups that allow you to ride with kids. Please look at the Riding
Safely section in the Owner’s Manual regarding general information and instructions on child
carriers or trailers.
If you regularly ride with kids on your bicycle, your Authorized Specialized Retailer should
conduct a periodic safety inspection.
WARNING! Specialized bicycles are only designed and tested for use by one
person at a time. Carrying a child on your Specialized bicycle is at your own
risk. If you choose to install an accessory on your Specialized bicycle such
as a trailer, carrier, or trailer cycle, make sure it is compatible and refer to
the manufacturer’s instructions and your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
You should make sure your bicycle is still safe to ride with the accessory
installed. Be sure to not exceed the structural weight limit of the bicycle when
using a trailer, trailer cycle or child carrier. Also make sure not to exceed the
maximum cargo weight when using a child carrier.
WARNING! Riding with kids on your bicycle will affect the handling by altering
the center of gravity, weight and balance. It may also negatively impact your
cornering ability, increase your stopping distance and reduce your ability to
slow down and maneuver, especially at higher speeds or down a steep grade.
All of this can result in a loss of control, potentially causing serious injury and/
or death. You should also become familiar with and practice riding with the
accessory in a controlled environment away from traffic.
WARNING! Do not attach a child carrier, trailer or similar accessory to a
composite or carbon fiber part or component, either directly or indirectly.
For example, do not attach a trailer to a rear axle when the rear triangle is
made of composite or carbon fiber. Likewise, do not attach a trailer cycle to
a composite or carbon seatpost or a child carrier to a composite or carbon
fork. Either may potentially apply unusual forces on your bicycle frame or
component which could result in damage and cause a complete failure,
with the risk of serious injury or death. If you have previously attached an
accessory to a composite or carbon fiber part or component, do not ride until
you have had your Authorized Specialized Retailer conduct a careful safety
inspection.
Before riding with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable
legal requirements and regulations in your country and state. There may be
restrictions on riding your bicycle with certain or any accessory(ies). This is
especially true for electric and pedal-assist bicycles.

minimum insertion requirements. In
addition, the frame has a maximum
insertion requirement to prevent damage
to the frame and seatpost.
MINIMUM INSERTION: The seatpost
must be inserted into the frame deep
enough so the minimum insertion/
maximum extension (min/max) mark
on the seatpost is not visible. The
frame requires a minimum of 80 mm
of insertion.
MAXIMUM INSERTION: The seat tube
is reamed to a specified maximum
insertion depth for each frame size.
This ream depth limits the insertion
depth of the seatpost. Please refer to
the table in Fig. 6.1.

This hanger must be installed following SRAM’s installation instructions. Please refer to the
installation steps In Section 16, or refer to the SRAM UDH User Manual.
6.4. SPEED SENSOR
The Kenevo SL is equipped with a speed sensor magnet, located on the rear hub/disc rotor
interface. Dirt and/or metal debris may accumulate on the speed sensor magnet. Too much
accumulation may result in interruptions in motor support and/or inaccurate speed readings.
Regularly check your speed sensor magnet for an accumulation of dirt and/or metal debris,
and clean accordingly. The frequency of the cleaning depends on your riding conditions, ride
frequency and/or brake pad material. Removing metal debris may require the use of a magnet
stronger than the speed sensor magnet.
When assembling the rear brake disc, the speed sensor magnet must be installed on the rotor.
Four of the six bolts are standard rotor bolts. The remaining two bolts (M5 x 0.8 pitch x 15 mm
length, with countersunk flat head) attach the speed sensor magnet to the rotor.
6.5. CHAIN GUIDE
The Kenevo SL chain guide is aligned during the production process and does not require
realignment or setup.
If the chain guide is removed, take note of the exact position and amount of spacers used to
assist with re-installation and alignment.
If the desired seat height cannot be achieved within the minimum and maximum insertion
requirements, the seatpost should be replaced for a shorter or longer one.
Once the saddle height is determined, torque the seatpost collar bolt to 55 in-lbf / 6.2 Nm.
TECH TIP: The fit between the seatpost and the seat tube must allow the
seatpost to slide into the seat tube smoothly and without twisting, but not so
loosely that there’s excessive side-to-side play/wiggle. Any fit and/or torque
issues should be inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer. If the
seatpost does not fit properly or moves in the frame even though it is torqued
to spec, you should have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
TECH TIP: Do not apply grease to the contact surfaces between the seatpost
and the seat tube. Grease reduces friction, which is critical to proper seatpost
grip. Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound
(fiber paste), which can increase friction between carbon surfaces. Please
visit your Specialized Authorized Retailer for additional information.
TECH TIP: The specified ream depths are listed in the table in Fig. 6.1. The
tolerance of the ream depth can vary from frame to frame. Install a regular
34.9 seatpost in the seat tube to verify the actual ream depth of the frame.
The seat tube is designed for a 34.9 mm post but a smaller diameter seatpost
can be used with a shim.
WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost and frame insertion requirements
(Fig. 6.1) may result in damage to the frame and/or seatpost, which could
cause you to lose control and fall.
If the seatpost is cut short, the min/max mark on the seatpost may no longer
be accurate. Before cutting the seatpost, note the min/max depth required by
the seatpost manufacturer.
WARNING! For general instructions regarding the installation of the seatpost,
refer to the appropriate section in the Owner’s Manual. Riding with an
improperly tightened seatpost can allow the saddle and seatpost to slide
down, which can damage the frame and cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! Inspect the seatpost and seat tube to ensure that there are
no burrs or sharp edges. Remove any burrs or sharp edges using fine-grit
sandpaper.

6.6. STEM
Some Kenevo SL models are equipped with an Alloy Trail Stem.
WARNING! The stem is designed with no gap between the stem body and the
faceplate at the upper bolt area. The upper bolts must be tightened such that
the faceplate bottoms out against the stem body before being torqued. Failure
to bottom out the faceplate against the stem body can result in structural
damage to the handlebar.

increase the torque until the spec is reached (C).
Gradually torque the lower bolts, alternating from the left to right bolt to evenly increase the
torque until the spec is reached (D).
Check the handlebar is installed correctly by rotating the handlebars up and down, then
twisting the handlebars side to side while holding the front wheel. If there is any movement,
the stem is not sufficiently tightened and should be re-torqued.
WARNING! Burrs and sharp edges can damage the carbon and alloy surfaces
of the components. Any deep scratches or gouges in the stem or fork can
weaken the components.
CAUTION: All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be
rounded out to eliminate any stress points.

6.7. MASTERMIND TCU / HANDLEBAR CLEARANCE
The MasterMind TCU sits above the top tube and has the potential to be struck by the
handlebar or stem when the handlebar is rotated fully. Therefore, When assembling the bike,
make sure to have enough clearance between the handlebar, stem, and the MasterMind TCU.
The number of spacers below the stem necessary to clear MasterMind TCU will depend on
several factors. These include stem model/length/orientation, and headtube flip chip position.

7. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The Kenevo SL is a high-performance bicycle. All regular maintenance, troubleshooting,
repair, and parts replacement must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer. For
general information regarding the maintenance of your bicycle, please refer to the Owner’s
Manual. In addition, routinely perform a Mechanical Safety Check before each ride, as
described in the Owner’s Manual.
Great care should be taken not to damage carbon fiber or composite material. Any damage
may result in a loss of structural integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This
damage may or may not be visible during inspection. Before each ride, and after any crash,
you should carefully inspect your bicycle for any fraying, gouging, scratches through the
paint, chipping, bending, or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if your bicycle shows
any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle to an
Authorized Specialized Retailer for a complete inspection.
While riding, listen for any creaks, as a creak can be a sign of a problem with one or more
components. Periodically examine all surfaces in bright sunlight to check for any small
hairline cracks or fatigue at stress points, such as welds, seams, holes, and points of
contact with other parts. If you hear any creaks, see signs of excessive wear, discover any
cracks, no matter how small, or any damage to the bicycle, immediately stop riding the
bicycle and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Lifespan and the type and frequency of maintenance depends on many factors, such as
use, rider weight, riding conditions and/or impacts. Additionally, the Kenevo SL uses a
power-assisted drive system, which means more distance is covered in the same amount
of time. Components may be subject to increased wear at different rates, depending on the
component. Drivetrain and brake components are especially subject to wear. Periodically
have your Authorized Specialized Retailer inspect your bicycle and components for wear.
Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean or in the
winter), can result in galvanic corrosion of components such as the crank spindle and
bolts, which can accelerate wear and shorten the lifespan. Dirt can also accelerate wear
of surfaces and bearings. The surfaces of the bicycle should be cleaned before each ride.
The bicycle should also be maintained regularly by an Authorized Specialized Retailer,
which means it should be cleaned, lubricated, and (partially) disassembled and inspected
for signs of corrosion and/or cracks . If you notice any signs of corrosion or cracking on the

14
ENFRDUCZSKFREEFREE PL
frame or any component, the affected item must be replaced.
Regularly clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not use a high pressure water spray directly on the bearings. Even water from a garden
hose can penetrate bearing seals and crank interfaces, increasing bearing and crank wear.
Use a clean, damp cloth and bicycle cleaning agents for cleaning.
Do not expose the bicycle to prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat, such as inside a
car parked in the sun or near a heat source such as a radiator.
From time to time, clean the speed sensor magnet on the rear wheel with a soft cloth.
Depending on your ride conditions and brake pad choice, dirt and/or metal shavings can
collect on the speed sensor magnet, which could lead to interruptions in motor support or
wrong speed readings.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in
damage to the components on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but,
most importantly, may result in serious personal injury or death. If your bicycle
exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and immediately bring it to your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
WARNING! Use a repair stand to support the bicycle during assembly or
maintenance, and a bicycle rack for transportation.
When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to
the seatpost and not the frame. Clamping the frame can cause damage to the
frame that may or may not be visible, and you may lose control and fall.
WARNING! Always turn off the battery when not in use and/or when working
on the bicycle.
CAUTION: Do not open the motor assembly. The motor assembly is a
sealed maintenance-free system. Any work on the motor assembly must be
performed by a Specialized Service Center.
7.1. REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Specialized replacement parts and accessories are available through your Authorized
Specialized Retailer.
7.2. MOTOR SUPPORT ACTIVATION
As mentioned in this manual, with the system powered on, the motor support will activate
as soon as the cranks are rotated and torque is detected. This can also happen when not
actively riding the bicycle, e.g., when the bicycle is in a work stand or flipped upside down
and the cranks are turned or the chain is moved (which then turns the cranks), when walking
alongside and pushing the bicycle and the cranks are turned, or any other scenario where the
cranks are turned, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and the wheels are moving. What
this means is that the system should be powered off if motor assist is not desired to avoid any
unintentional engagement of the motor.
Below are examples of situations where you MUST ensure the bike is powered OFF:
• Pushing the bicycle along without walk-assist activated.
• Loading the bicycle for transportation (e.g., car or train).
• Carrying the bicycle (e.g. over stairs).
• Fixing a dropped chain.
• Installing or removing a pedal.
• Changing a flat tire.
• Performing chain/drivetrain maintenance.
• Performing general maintenance and repairs.
• Washing the bicycle.
WARNING! Always power off the system when not actively riding the bicycle
and/or when motor support is not desired, including when performing any kind
of maintenance or work on the bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could
result in an unintentional engagement of the motor support which could result
in serious personal injury.
