Welcome to the MBR show, where we scrutinise the latest bikes, critique the newest hardware and discuss the hottest topics in mountain biking.
This month we’re going to be looking at the latest Specialized Kenevo SL launch, and why we hoped it was going to be so much more.
We’ll examine the latest Orange Phase Evo e-bike, boasting what we think might be a world’s first.
We’ll go hands-on with the new YT Jeffsy, and we’ll take a look at Neko Mullaly’s quest to build the perfect downhill bike.

Love the honesty of your review,for the amount these bikes cost they should. Not disappoint in any way.
Good job guys. I like that Orange. Is Orange still a non linkage single pivot or are they using a link now? That DH bike is a rebirth of the Turner💯
excellent reviews and great content. Like the jumper Alan….
Finally, a ‘show’ that doesn’t blow sunshine up each and every bike but provides a credible critique instead.
Nice one, all.
Another manufactured, endless pressure to constantly upgrade because of how fast things change. More batteries, motors, and frames for the landfill.
Neko's bike and journey is one of the best things that is in the industry at the moment.
Why would you need a new display if you changed the Kenevo motor? It’s the same display on the previous Kenevo.
This is exactly why us consumers have been getting f@cked with no Vaseline by the bike companies because whenever they come out with a new bike it’s guys like you that can never be happy and just criticize them because it wasn’t what you wanted it to be
£12,500 is unbelievably high for a bicycle. I have two motorcycles and both of them put together are cheaper than that. I also have a Nukeproof megawatt I got for £3800 new, which for a full fat e-bike is unbelievably good value. Adding the range extender on the sl will put it within 1kg of a full fat e-bike so it’s probably just better to go for that and have the extra power.
Regarding the new motor on the Kenevo, it also seems to be quieter which is very much welcomed.
Wheres the guy from who goes fairly high pitched at the end of each sentence?
This is gold guys. Keep it up!
The most overpriced garbage in the industry as of 2020 onwards
The suspension is outstanding, but the higher seat tube height doesn’t allow for testicle clearance of yours truly. Even at 6’ I just couldn’t get that seat out of the way no matter what dropper I used. Also no MX wheel flip chip is a huge miss IMO. Most people probably aren’t racing E-Enduro lol they just want to have fun.
Great stuff. But missing the magazine 🙁
