What Specialized Lists
Light Enduro Spec
Motor & Battery
SL 1.2 motor, 320 Wh pack.
50 Nm, 320 W
Specialized says the SL 1.2 delivers 33% more power (320 W) and 43% more torque (50 Nm) than its predecessor. It also calls the SL 1.2 the most efficient e-bike system in the world, and the quietest.
Up to 20 mph Assist
Specialized says the system delivers power up to 20 mph (32 km/h). It doesn't use the word class.
MicroTune and Range Extender
The bar-mounted MicroTune adjusts power delivery in 10% steps. A range extender (SBC-B16) manual is listed on the product page, but Specialized doesn't state a capacity there.
Frame & Suspension
Full carbon with 170 mm of travel.
Fact 11m Full Carbon Frame
29 inch wheels, full internal cable routing, 170 mm of rear travel, and two geometry adjustments. Head angle moves between 62.5 and 64.5 degrees and bottom bracket height by 7 mm.

A RockShox ZEB Select fork with 170 mm of travel and a Super Deluxe Select rear shock (230x62.5 mm).
44.5 lb Listed
Specialized lists 20.19 kg (44 lb 8.2 oz). Weights vary with size, colour and components.
Drivetrain, Brakes & Wheels

SRAM S-1000 Eagle AXS Transmission

SRAM Maven Bronze Brakes
4-piston calipers front and rear.
Butcher GRID Gravity Tires
29x2.4 front and rear with the Gripton T9 compound.
Assist & App
Light Assist, Up to 20 mph
Specialized's description, not Ben's findings.
Specialized says the SL 1.2 system delivers power up to 20 mph (32 km/h), which it describes as getting you to the top of a descent with about half the effort. The MasterMind TCU shows battery level as a percentage and adds MicroTune power adjustment.
Specialized doesn't name an e-bike class on the Kenevo SL 2 page. The 20 mph assist limit is the figure it gives.
