Specialized Kenevo SL Upper Link

This specific upper link is designed for the Kenevo SL platform. However, Specialized occasionally updates frame specifications, so we recommend verifying your specific frame year and model against the part number to ensure a perfect fit.

You will need a standard set of metric hex keys and a torque wrench to ensure the pivot bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. A bearing press may also be required if you are transferring existing bearings, though many riders choose to install fresh bearings simultaneously.

Signs of wear include noticeable play or 'creaking' in the rear suspension linkage that persists after tightening pivot bolts. If you notice visible cracks, deformation, or if the suspension movement feels sticky or inconsistent, it is time to replace the link to restore proper geometry.

This product is the alloy link itself. It does not include pivot bearings, bolts, or washers, so you will need to reuse your existing hardware or purchase a separate linkage bearing and bolt kit.

Because this is a factory-spec component designed specifically for the Kenevo SL, it is intended to maintain the bike's original performance standards. Using genuine Specialized replacement parts is the best way to ensure your frame warranty remains intact.
